We give the plaudits to Ron and his brother Erwin and Jan Kluitenburg .....how influential is Sammy Lee?

His passion is obvious for all to see....is he a huge cog in the wheel?

I think he is....well done Sammy.

RK shakes the other manager's hand while SL sneakily bites chunks out of their ankles.

 

I love every moment I see the poison dwarf charging off the bench in celebration.

If this is really an issue, make up a song about him and sing it. Isn't that what you (plural) like to do anyway?

 

Oh crap.....Please don't encourage them!!! :mcinnes:

Probably is a bit of an unsung hero but when you hear football people talking about how well Koeman did last season a lot of the time Sammy gets a mention!

I think it's always worth saluting those who helped lay the foundations for our future success, like Nigel Adkins.

It's his attention to detail in putting out the cones in a straight line, organising the bibs for training and collecting the balls after which has pushed us on to the next level.

Isn't he Liverpool's spy?

 

he has a special role in the club...that of recommending Saints players for Brendan Rodgers to buy .....:lol:

 

(if he carries on at this rate, we should get the City Council to award him Freedom of the City ......).

I was wondering what on earth we were doing when we brought him in last season. He appears to be the bubbly enthusiastic member of the coaching staff who is motivating and chatting away to the players - a bit of a departure from the role he was fulfilling at Bolton (Head of the Academy) but he seems to be doing it very well.

 

And, to be honest, it's great to see his reaction when we score. Especially the really enthusiastic hand clap :lol:

Really? I'll pop down. See you there?

 

He usually gets there for about 7.30 after the 3pm games. At that point i'm usually on the floor at the Albion or back in Kings Worthy..... It's the classy thing to do. ;)

Just a passing thought really [pun intended] for all the vitriol directed at "Scousers", they have had a significant part to play in the Saints history in recent times, Case, Lambert, Adkins and Lee. Whilst in the process sounding something like a legal firm.

I thought they created wit, pop music and western civilisation.

The West civilised? Really? Are you certain about that? As one mere and quick example take a sober observant stroll around the binge spots of Southampton or any major city for that matter, on say a Friday and Saturday night . . . . . . . .So it shows you what the power of persistent populist Propaganda can achieve. And that being the "case" as well as being excellent at football it would also appear they have an extremely powerful all pervading panache for Propaganda. Is there no end to their talents?

of course it's the manager who gets the media coverage (as well as the plaudits and the criticism)..and in our case it's Ronald Koeman.

 

According to interviews; Ronald and Les Reed agree a list of possible targets to sign and Les does the deals...for better or worse.

 

Few of us know the influence that Erwin has on his brother's thoughts and opinions, but he obviosly does ...or else... why is he there ?

 

Even less media on Sammy Lee, but every picture I see, he's encouraging and so full of enthusiasm that one can scarcely picture Saints without his incredible input.

Given this almost symbiotic relationship of Saints, Scousers and Sinning then, a la, Case, Lambert, Adkins and Lee, could we perhaps succinctly sum it up in terms of a Job Lot 1:21 'tis Sunday after all,

"The Scousers giveth and the Scousers taketh away, blessed be the name of the Scousers"? :D

Sammy Lee is the Harrods version of Wally Downes for Saints, part mascot part cheerleader part mentor. He can also see eye to eye with Jordy, which can only be a good thing.

Just watched the highlights of yesterday's stage of the Tour De France - bloody Scouser won it.

That's the last time he will win anything for the next decade then! But we are sure to hear about it every single day...

A moniker ending in "aggro" would appear to suit Milt ;) On such a basis outlined with Sammy involved the Saints are "donalded ducked" then in terms of winning anything. Mind you . . . . . .

Ah, it's a historical name Enskied, from the rich tapestry of our club's heritage ;) - you should at this point remind me that historically the Merseyside sense of humour is also the 'best in the world' - Stan Boardman, Tom O Connor, Alexei Sayle, and Ken Dodd et al! Not to mention Brendon, the master of mirth...

Yes I understand, I was utilising it for my own purposes in regard to my reply, for example I was going to mention the Poet context ergo the "Milton section" but considered the "Aggro" more suited in attempting to "Miltoning" juice out of our exchange. So in regard their sense of humour well be that far from me Milt! Shurlock has already basically covered that part of their renowned abilities in his post above albeit briefly, and I would hate to steal any of his thunder as it were . . . . .Incidentally, I don't think Brendan is a Scouser [which of course you are probably aware], might want to be one of the honorary sort though such as . . .... Dean, Liddell, Young, Shankly, Paisley, Kendall, Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Rafa Benitez and so on and so on but he has a fair way to go yet I would imagine before he gains that sort of status.

 

A chap goes into a shop in Liverpool, "Any Irish sausages today, their love?"

The counter girl stares hard at him then gently inquires, "are you Irish?"

To which the man takes some exception, "If I came in here and asked for Kosher meat would you ask if I was Jewish?"

"No" she answers.

"Or if I asked for samosas would ask if I was Indian?"

"No" she answers.

"Or if I asked for Halal meat would you ask if I am say Iranian, or a Muslim?"

"No!" She answers emphatically.

"Then why the bloody hell did you have the bloody temerity to ask if I was Irish?"

"Well, sir this is Halfords."

Very good :)

 

Brendan Rogers is giving a motivational team talk after the Liverpool players return from their summer holidays - 'Now that Raheem has decided to leave us, if there are any f*cking idiots in this room, will they please stand up now!' After a long silence Adam Lallana rises slowly to his feet. 'Now then Adam, why do you consider yourself a f*cking idiot?' says Brendan. 'Well, I don't really boss' says Lallana, 'but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself'...

Before I went self employed this year I had the pleasure of working at a company with 8 (yes bloody eight) plastic scousers. One of whom was named after our Sammy.

 

I had a lot of fun the day Sammy Lee took the job at Southampton.

The thing is with Sammy he has a heart of gold and is the genuine article, a man with his heart on his sleeve and humble with it who, wherever and whenever he can, shuns the spotlight and is uncomfortable with praise. Unfortunately for the game [business?] there are FAR too few Sammy Lee's left in the Billionaires playground we call football, it's good to see he has landed at a great club like the Saints where he is obviously appreciated, he deserves it and one thing the Saints will get in return is 100% dedication.
