[Football] Houghton v Wagner

[Kalimantan Gull]

Ray Houghton. He used to manage Blackburn.

You know I reckon this has gone over everyone's head, it did mine until just now

 

[Wellesley]

Wagner is an extremely good manager. Hughton is a superb manager that has proven a perfect fit for this club, this squad and I am beyond happy that he is our manager. There may be better out there, but I'm not interested in comparing him to other managers. We are blessed with the most amazing Brighton and Hove Albion set up in history. Let's just soak it up and relish it.

Wagner was a great composer of operas and would often play around with his librettos.
Houghton had a bridge named after him in Amberley, West Sussex.
The clues are there, just look deeper.

The Ring Cycle can be quite heavy going though

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Didn't we try and sign Houghton from Oxford? Or did he go there instead of us?

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Can't take any thread seriously started by a muppet that can't spell our managers name yet!

Fortunately everyone else has been able to take it seriously...

[Dick Head]

That went well.

Over my head. Care to explain?

Hughton's name spelt wrong as Houghton, famous football Houghton is Ray, but of course Ray Houghton never did manage Blackburn, however Ray Harford did... so poster is doubling down on the manager-name spelling confusion ....

tickled me anyway
