Baryy Lloyd Bankrupt

[otk]

Poor old Bazza,,,never get any credit on here for building a team that got within 90 mins of the top flight. A feat which NO ONE has achieved since, with both hands and legs tied behind his back. Sure he made some awful signings like Farrington and Tiltman to mention a couple. But what about Nelson, Rougvie, Dublin, Gotsmanov, Walker, Barham,Byrne, Small, Gall etc etc etc...He really should be held in a bit higher regard in ours clubs history. He did have the club at heart, which is more than could be said for the *******s he worked under.

Or anywhere else for a while I should imagine

Lloyd was a good manager for us,had a decent record on signings,got us to the play-offs ,and had to deal with the owners.......and their plans !!!!!!

 

[Biffer]

many ppl choose bankrupcy for loads of reasons these days .....its super common.

Bollocks. That's just what the MSM say to brainwash you gullible idiots.

On a serious note, it may be for many reasons as you say, but what it all boils down to is that he hasn't got enough money to pay his bills. He's probably not slept well for a while because of it and I wish him all the best.

This poster named (hardly) in honour of our former manager, and previously went by the name of Barry Mustgoe, Barry Hazgon and now as you see here.

Should I now go by deed poll to Barry Handily?

CODNOR was a @@@@

I told Codnor I was a big fan of his, one night late after a game, in the Sussex Cricketeers, he said 'you must be the only one'....

BL supposedly told Garry Nelson he 'wasn't involved' in the play-off final at Wembley in a toilet, reputedly as pay-back for some of the run-ins they'd had when GN was union rep at the club...

The ironic thing was I felt at the time Mullery was just getting things right on the pitch. I'd love to know what really went on behind the scenes. But then saying that, Mullery should have never cme back in the first place, as Cattlin getting the sack was disgusting.

Mike Bailey wasn't the worst manager ever either.

'Supposedly' is always a good word for 'I love gossip and haven't really got a clue', dontcha think?

Not necessarily. Did Garry Nelson say it in any of his books?

Not sure. Did Garry Nelson say it in any of his books?

I haven't got a clue but I'm not 'supposing' anything.

Mullery was brought back for the 2nd stint and used to bring in BL as assistant manager with a view that he would take over. The board then used the fact that he lived in Bamstead and wouldn't move nearer as an excuse to sack him so that BL could become manager. Anybody with any sense would have told you that although he lived in Banstead his travelling time to work would have been more miles but less time than the Hinshlewood clan took from Selsey

Having done the radio with barry many times and given him lifts to grounds where he was doing the summarising with hawsey and Harty , I can say he was. A charming man...fantastic stories and was once the largest transfer fee played for any player.

By quiet and unassuming, not a billy big bollocks and I know I was not the biggest fan of him and let him have it both barrels at Bristol rovers/ bath one Saturday when we lost 4-0 I think it was....I came to regard him as a mate.

This is a very sad state of affairs

Twas 4-1. I was at the game and remember one Rovers midfielder rallying his team shouting 'Comon this is easy!' I think its was a Bank Holiday Monday in 1992.

That said, I liked Barry Lloyd, he took a lot of flack, but as Stuart Tuck once said to me (he used to travel home on the same bus after training) no-one was sure who was running the team. I get the impression Lloyd was having to get involved in a lot more than the playing side.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I had a lot of time for BL. He kept the club up and running despite Archer, Bellend and Stanley's best efforts to screw things up. It was being run on a shoestring and he was juggling money and players, but he still gave us one of our best days out at Wembley.

Always a lot of revisionist thinking but the size of the gates tell you what the crowds thought of lloyd and his football. Stabbed mullers in the back to get the job in the first place and nobody shed any tears when he was sacked

 

[Monkey Man]

I thoroughly enjoyed the Lloyd era. It had everything - promotion, relegations, terrible signings, amazing signings, great performances, terrible performances, a Wembley appearance ... I think we're too programmed today to expect success all the time, and constant progress. But football is hardly ever like that and it's often more fun when it isn't. Would you rather follow Brighton in the Lloyd era or a club like Man U, Barcelona or Arsenal?

 

[Uncle C]

Who's been passing round the rose tinted glasses.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Love to know how much he spent and how much we recouped from sell ons, think he'll have kept us in business.

Man U , Barcelona or Arsenal !

Yes he did.

Sold Dean Saunders and said Richard Tiltman was better? I rest my case. .
