Sammy Lee - joining Southampton FC (NOT assistant manager at the Albion)

[seagullsovergrimsby]

He'll have to be fumigated before being allowed anywhere near The Amex or Lancing due to his close proximity to Dougie Freedman's greasy hair at The Reebok.

 

[Napper]

Happy with that.

Knows the championship inside out

I thought that Sami would have approched him, although didnt realise he was working at Bolton.

Welcome to the Niemi as well!

The players will get earfuls. Was highly regarded as a coach under Souness, Houllier, Benitez, then England. Good appointment or what?

Great appointments

Looks like we are going for the "Good cop bad cop" strategy. Could work.

I wrote this at the start of last week - not exactly Mystic Meg, but pleased with the net result.

I don't really have a name in the frame, but one of those old school managers, that everyone would immediately dismiss out of hand as a dinosaur, if he were to be suggested as a manager, might provide some interesting dynamics as part of the coaching team. We have been conditioned by recent appointments to believe that the coaches must somehow be junior to the manager. Why not add a wise old head to the mix ?

I really disliked Sammy Lee as a player. I always felt he turned up at the right place and the right time and made it on the back of far more talented players. As a coach though, an old head who made the most of his talent ? Good call Sami and welcome on board Sammy.

USELESS at Bolton and started their DECLINE, can only think Lee was CHEAP

 

[Seagulls1984]

Horrible man

[Postman Pat]

Those are high calibre appointments, bodes well for our transfer dealings if we are willing to spend a little more cash this season.

 

[spanish flair]

Very pleased with that team in charge.

 

[dingodan]

The man has an INSANE C.V.

 

[Triggaaar]

Are NSC concluding that clueless BHA have made a decent appointment?

 

[Albion_Dave]

Very suprised & very pleased.

Are NSC concluding that clueless BHA have made a decent appointment?

Yes triggaaar I believe so.

 

[Northstander]

We're going up this year

Well pleased so far, maybe tow to three new signings and off we go!!

Totally agree. High calibre appointments. I'm really very pleased by this. Both top levels players that have also gone on to have successfull coaching careers. Instant respect from the players and men that Hypia has total faith in.

 

[Leighgull]

Liverpool of the south coast?

We just need David Fairclough as our bench general and we're off.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Really excellent news. I'm surprised, I thought we'd end up with a low key number 2.
