All seems a bit odd, you could understand it more if the present incumbent wasn't someone so close to him.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Sammy Lee - joining Southampton FC (NOT assistant manager at the Albion)
- Thread starter James Bond's body double
- Start date

well who knows
but I have the feeling you are right
but who has allowed the story to get this far
I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.
You do know that you can edit your posts for a few (20??) minutes after you've made them...?
Sammy Lee - New Assistant Manager / UPDATE: or is he?
It would make my day if Sammy Lee went elsewhere. Fat little ****.

As I understand it the approach is/was from les Read as he knows him from the England set up .
No I didn't but thank you.I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

If it is true about sammy lee joining scumhampton it will make our club look really stupid
No, it really won't.
We'll have appointed someone who went back on the deal.
That's all.

I'm with [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] on this. I can't imagine the club putting the announcement into print unless the appointment had formally been agreed.
If, however, SL is going to renege on the job it is far more likely that he'll end up with a job in Saints' academy (as per the suggestion above), as wasn't that the job he was previously doing at Bolton?
All in all, it makes him look like a bit of a **** if he accepts a job, only to immediately walk at the look of a better offer. If true, we don't want people like that anywhere near our club.

Or him and Saints, Mark, depending on whether or not Sammy accepted the job with us as the club say he did...

Maybe he is going to manage the Southampton Acadamy, one of the best rated in England, rather than be assistant manager to Koeman.
That his job at Bolton I think

will be interesting if pen was ever put to paper
wonder if the club will make a statement
That's a very specific "understanding"! Is your sauce at BHA, Saints or linked to Sammy?
EDIT: much more likely to be Saints or Sammy on reflection - how would BHA know where the approach came from?
Contractually, it would make it very interesting. Pragmatically, I can't see us going after him legally though - it would just look spiteful. Also, what real damages would we be able to claim?
A club statement is a definite imo, if the rumour is true. The interesting thing is how pointed what they say is...

I emailed Paul Barber on a separate note on the day Sammy Lee was announced and added in my email thought was a good appointment ,he replied with this after his announcement.
Like our new manager, I have also worked with Sammy Lee previously (when we both worked with The FA’s various England teams) and, from my experience, he is a great addition to our senior coaches. Similarly, Antti Niemi is a vastly experienced coach at international level so, again, I think we have added another great operatorto our team.
