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

[gripper stebson]

There's been a terrible mistake.

This is the Sammy Lee we are getting.

9:30 in on this video.... who is that bloke on the far right again....??

Stuff 9.30 watched the whole great video - thanks for posting!

Excellent news. The foundations are in place.

Now all we need are some additional players, ideally of Championship quality.

 

[Hyperion]

Not sure what to make of Sammy Lee, however I am confident he is a better Assistant than Nathan (Mr Personality) Jones.

His experience and what he can give to Hyypia with advice will no doubt be top class

 

[Don Quixote]

I look forward to seeing him

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Do you remember Jimmy Case - he was ok for us (as a player)

But then it's pretty tricky to rate any manager from that era...

 

[Super Steve Earle]

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

5 feet 2? I would think his contacts would be low level!

 

[Motogull]

Looking at his picture on here

http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/hyypia-appoints-backroom-team-1695889.aspx

looks like we've hired Tony Hart

Who has been on a pie frenzy.

When we get the PR handshake photo with TB, at least the camera or image will not need rotating.

I'll give this the thumbs up. He's a 'name' so the credibility of the overall management team gets a boost. Another little thing that might help to just influence a player to join.

All we need it Jari Litmanen to come in now to coach our strikers! Go on Sami... You know it makes sense.

 

[Rogero]

He's fat, he's round, etc, etc, etc.

That's banned .Its called fatism.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

This has to be the first time we have had a manager and assistant with the same first name (albeit spelt differently) ??

Surely Dean Wilkins and Dean White haven't already been forgotten?!?

 

[Rod Marsh]

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!!

That's really rather funny as it was Marshy that started the Danny Murphy thread.

 

[kevtherev]

Excellent appointment. A wise old head to complement a young manager. Exciting times ahead.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Surely Dean Wilkins and Dean White haven't already been forgotten?!?

The historic quote from Dick "Dean with Dean at Withdean".

 

[RM-Taylor]

You are only upset because he played for Liverpool

I honestly never even knew he was a former professional footballer.

 

[BensGrandad]

I honestly never even knew he was a former professional footballer.

And you spout on here about people not knowing anything about football. It certainly takes all sorts

 

[Weststander]

Nailed in one.

As for "clueless and useless", who hasn't been slagged off in the past, a very popular British pastime.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Appreciate it's been announced & I'm a new poster unfortunately I think another club, a premier league club , have made an approach and despite announcements he's actually not signed .I think perhaps the club have jumped the gun .

Only time will tell I suppose .

[Joe Gatting's Dad]
