angelman Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 See on the web that Sunderland might be wanting him as Fat Sam's nº2. He was with him at Bolton, so..... Would that be a great loss if he did go? Would he go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be a great loss if he did go? Would he go? Sam has been plenty of places without him since the Bolton days. Leave a good job with a great manager and a club going in the right direction for a dinasour of a manger at a club that is in turmoil ? Tough call that :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErwinK1961 Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 Didn't Ron say that he lets Sammy do the team talk before they head out? And that he didn't really understand what he was saying, other than the swear words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 Click bait non new story from the daily fail? I won't even bother clicking on it. Surely there's going to be a point where someone at the club gets fed up and actually does something about the very clear media campaign against us, constantly linking our players and staff with moves away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there's going to be a point where someone at the club gets fed up and actually does something about the very clear media campaign against us, constantly linking our players and staff with moves away And also publishing articles praising ex-managers for the role that they have played in getting so many existing and ex-Southampton players into the England national team, as well as continuing the process with his new charges at Spurs. Naturally we are talking that genius manager at getting the most out of players on a shoestring, Pochettino. Annoying that they also seem to credit him in that list with Lambert and Lallana, who were playing for us long before he arrived, but of course it was he who brought them up to the necessary standard to don the England shirt. I suppose though that we should be grateful that the Daily Fail didn't go overboard and widen the scope of his abilities to include those here under him who went on to play with other National teams, like Fonte and Davis.

Patrick Bateman Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 course you did Why would he make that up?? "Lee must shake off the old tag of "BBC'' - being responsible for Balls, Bibs and Cones. "I know I am coming from assistant, from that 'good cop, bad cop' thing, but the buck stops with me now. I have to change players' perception of me. And other people's. But when people say I look like 'a page-boy at a rather tough wedding', I don't mind!" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/henrywinter/2318712/Ex-apprentice-Sammy-Lee-fired-up-at-Bolton.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ignore the fact that he managed at Bolton, went back to Liverpool as Assistant Manager and was trusted enough to be caretaker manager there? I dont get the point of putting down a part of the club's recent success without any kind of reason. Weird huh?

Saint Charlie Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 Be a shame to lose him if so, as the coaching setup is obviously working well and the mix of characters is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 I see Brian Kidd is still sitting on the bench as Sammy does. I am sure the club find more for them to do than BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 Hope he does not get tempted away, he seems to be a great motivator which is essential. As much as I like Ronalds management I cannot imagine him being very expressive in his moral boosting speeches, might be wrong but I suspect that is left to Sammy.

Mr Biscuits Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 True story: I used to work with a bloke who was called Sam after Sammy Lee. He was a massive plastic Liverpool fan and used to enjoy winding me up about how they were going to take all our best players. I didn't hesitate to ask if he was going to switch allegiance the day Sammy came to work for Saints. Plus the last three seasons have been hilarious fun.

explorer saint Posted 15 October, 2015 Share Posted 15 October, 2015 Don't forget Sammy used play for saints too. Remember he was sub one time and I was sat under west stand . He came out do some warm ups bent over and the pitch disappeared due size of his posteria .. Shame see him go seems likeable character bit like Dennis Rofe .

The Cat Posted 15 October, 2015 Share Posted 15 October, 2015 course you did Yes, I did. Whether it was true or not I didn't know, which is why I put "I heard" rather than stating it as fact. In any case it's a mildly amusing nickname which I thought may be of some interest to some fellow fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
