First thing i thought of
Lots of coaching experience, seems very passionate, played in that great Liverpool side of the 80's - think it could work out well.

Only insofar as they played great football and hopefully that is the style we will be looking to replicate.
did it help him at Bolton?
In order to play like that great team of the 80's you need great players too. sadly cannot see that we will have that quality available.

On paper this coaching team seems to tick the box "Premier League Ready".
Sammy Lee's Academy credentials will be useful, as will his contacts and extensive knowledge of the Championship. I was concerned that Hyypia might be a tad quiet and studious, and his failure to arrest Leverkusen's bad run last season was worrying me, but to get Sammy Lee on board should add a bit of bite, a bit of Jim Telfer to Sami's Ian McGeechan if you will.
However, we still lack quality in the squad and it doesn't matter how good the coaches and facilities are if we don't make some good signings. That said, who wouldn't fail to be impressed with the personnel and facilities at this club now?

Absolutely.
Can we manage to get those 5 top quality signings we need in, within budget ?
Perhaps 2 excellent season long loans from Liverpool, and then 3 decent permanent transfers in.

I am not sure there is a huge connection between Lee/Hyppia and the current Liverpool setup,..... sadly fans dont have a say where they would prefer their budding starlets to go out on loan.Absolutely.

You should probably refer to the days of his assistant manager stint with Fat Sam... He was utter class leading the back room team. Considering we've had NJ in for a season... this is like signing Ronaldo!

Agreed. I am not anti Hyppia at all, I desperately want him to succeed, but I just have this nagging feeling that we are due a tough season, 5 years since the last one?

I just HOPE that when this TRIO of CLOWNS get to Lancing they REMEMBER to take the turn off at the training ground and not Billy Smart's CIRCUS on the BEACH Green.
This is the worst TRIO since Thicky Adams, CLIPBOARD Kid and Dean 'Radio RENTALS' White and at least White could FIX the dressing room TV and I doubt LEE could even REACH it.
