Sammy Lee

[9-3]

So where now?

He must be so disappointed.

[ART]

He has been retained by England so why should he be disappointed?

[Noodles34]

Yeah, either way he is going to be paid for the next two years, big disappointment

Sammy has been involved in the England set-up (periodically) on and off for the last 10-15 years (?)..not sure exactly. He must know the England set-up pretty well.

 

If he's under contract ......there's no reason to kick him out just because Big Sam has gone, and surely neither Gareth Southgate or Dave Watson is a stranger to him.

Dave Watson left his England role in the summer. Martyn Margetson is now the England goalkeeper coach,

I stand corrected.

Feel bad for sammy!

[Micky]

I'm pretty sure that Sammy would've been half expecting it. He's been in the game long enough to know how it works. Besides, can't see him being out of work for long - infectious character with a lot of experience - somebody will snap him up. Would be happy to see him back here - but highly unlikely.

Not sure why everyone thinks the sun shines out of Sammy's backside?

[Fan The Flames]

Maybe he could give Brighton a bell to see if there is a slot there.

 

He seems a decent bloke, I used to like him celebrating a goal.

I'm not sure anyone does I think most just think he's a nice bloke and a decent coach which is hard to disagree with. He won't be unemployed for long and I'm sure he will have received a payout from England for terminating his contract.

His placement of cones is second to none.

[SuperSAINT]

Perfect fit to rejoin Rafa @ Newcastle if Ian Cathro goes to Hearts.

[CB Fry]

He won't be out of work for long. If nothing else, big Sam will be somewhere soon anyway.

[Kingsland Red]

Nonsense, it is second to the King of the Cones- Dennis Rofe

Thus would be difficult as he accepted Asst.Managers job there and then came to us after 5 mins.

I think that was the joke.

Your right

[Greenridge]

I see he has left Crystal Palace with the appointment of Hodgson and Lewington.

[Pamplemousse]

How long before someone claims we should bring him back?

[Toomer]

We should bring him back or let him hang around till fat Sam decides to take another job.

[Badger]

Just hope it's not with us....

[Saint Billy]

How long before someone claims we should bring him back?

 

Now, just do it!.

 

At the moment our bench looks as motivated as a sloth on anti depressants.

The obsession with Sammy Lee has to be the most bizarre thing on here, just ahead of the reverse opinion of Eric Black.

Not sure there is evidence of any obsessions anywhere?

 

Possibly more to do with Sammy being reminiscent of fast, exciting and attacking football.

 

While Blacks arrival seemed to coincide with the drab guff weve witnessed and been subjected to since last summer?

 

If we had got the appointments right last summer and the "southampton way" hadn't become so lifeless nobody would be reminiscing about Sammy?

[CB Fry]

Sammy was a superb appointment by Les Reed.

[larry12]

Your right

 

You're

[Bad Wolf]

Black out, Lee in IMO. Him and MP are friends aren't they?

[9-3]

I'd rather have Sammy than Eric.

Can either of you provide some good evidence as to why Sammy Lee is a better coach than Eric Black?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can either of you provide some good evidence as to why Sammy Lee is a better coach than Eric Black?

 

Because Sammy was around at a time when Saints were playing more attractive football?

It's all to do with the spacingbetween the cones [emoji23]

That isn't good evidence, neither are/were the manager. They aren't as coaches ultimately responsible for the style of play.
