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

[RM-Taylor]

Very strange appointment, hopefully he isn't around to long and is only offering his assistance to Sami whilst we search for a proper assistant

 

[RustyKent]

But should we SPEND all our CASH in trying to get to the PREMIERSHIP? FFP rules!

 

[Stat Brother]

200+ games in the top flight. 14 international caps. Asst Mgr in the premier league supporting some of the biggest names. Experienced working with academies (on which our future is based). Knows the manager before joining.....

.....trying really hard to find what constitutes "incredibly ordinary" in that lot where it relates to the appointment of an assistant manager of a second tier club.
Maybe I need a new dictionary (or a radically different perspective)

That is a very good point, nearly well made.

I like to remind us fans we are a second division club.
I get the impression sometimes 'we' forget.

Why?

Totally - Some people seem to think that anyone less than Jose Mourinho is a disappointment.

Right ......

This is nothing like the excitement we FELT when Gus and Tanno were appointed, then we PRIVILEGED to have such a managerial duo now we get a couple of REJECTS who have won nothing and WE are expected to be GRATEFUL.

If we get off to a SLOW start the BOOS will ring out AROUND the AMEX

[h=2]The QUESTIONS that must BE asked[/h]
0

After todays DISMAL performance and the first MUTTERINGS about Poyet these QUESTIONS must be ASKED.
Is Poyet simply El Tinselhead ?
Does Tarrico make Dean White look like Fabio Cappelo ?
Is Tony Bloom ABOUT to make his Saturday night CALL and AXE Poyet ?
To simplify is it time that Poyet el slingo el hooko ?
Will Poyet BREAK the out record tonight ?​

Why?

Why is it a strange appointment or why hopefully he isn't around too long.

Well it's a strange appointment and really doesn't fit in with the club's current ethos and image. It's strange that we currently have a dinosaur assisting our manager, in fact I'm pretty sure posters on here have called him clueless and useless in the past few years along with many other derogatory terms. Hopefully he isn't around too long due to all the above mentioned, hopefully he is just temporarily helping out one of his ex players.

Ageist.

Well, I think it makes good sense to hire an assistant manager whose style complements that of his boss. Welcome Sammy.

 

[phazza]

Experienced No2 is good, I cant think of a better realistic appointment

danny murphy was mentioned on here not long ago. i was really looking forward to him as i like what he has to say and he is an intelligent football person. so i'm a bit gutted that it's not him. however sammis our man now. it could be a great move or not, we will have to support them and lets hope we can be keep being proud of our club and the way it's run!!

 

[Acker79]

Gives us the opportunity for

"Sami, give us a wave, sammy sammy, give us a wave"

followed by

"We meant the other one, we meant the other one"

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Not only great experience but great contacts I expect. Very happy and excited about both appointments

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Bags of experience at high level, A respected career as a player, bags of passion, presumably a wealth of high level contacts in the game - 5 feet 2 inches of energy - sounds good to me

You are only upset because he played for Liverpool

 

[hart's shirt]

Excellent news. The foundations are in place.

 

[BensGrandad]

Not his greatest fan in the past but if he can install some passion and fight he will do for me.
