Today would have never made the cup final, Melia would have been sacked....

Surely not another thread where we slag off a former manager...

Perhaps someone should start a discussion about Barry Lloyd...

Yes, got Brighton closer to the top division than Gus ???


:lolol:

But also two relegations. Let's not pretend 1990/91 was a typical year in Barry Lloyd's reign.

Jimmy Melia and his white dancing disco shoes! I'm not going to slag the bloke off. He got us to Wembley and made us smile. Slag off the people that appointed him by all means, but I'll always have a soft spot for Jimmy.

And who can for get the helicopter ride to Wembley? I really do have the perception of a Board that was spunking cash left right and centre without thinking about the future. Where did that FA cup money go?

Never forget the guy who took us to our dream. OK, back then we were a good team and should not have been relegated, but still, two trips to Wembley in one week. Oh yes, the replay was played a few days after the first draw. Would never happen now.

Two things which made losing the Cup Final easier to bear:

1. We weren't wearing the stripes.

2. We were managed by a Liverpool fan who looked like a clown.
