"Lee's sharp exit shames Liverpool"
The departure of assistant boss Sammy Lee from his beloved Liverpool appears a lot more brutal than the mutual consent and platitudes of the club announcement last week.
It is understood Lee found out he was no longer part of Kenny Dalglish's regime a day after returning from holiday. In a two-minute phone call from the manager, Lee was left none the wiser about who had made the decision.
The nature of the sacking led to Lee returning to the Melwood training ground as early as 5am the following morning to clear his desk and disappear before anyone else had arrived to start work.
This is a desperate way for one of Liverpool's most popular players to end his association with a club he had rejoined in 2008 as part of Rafael Benitez's backroom staff.
Liverpool have moved quickly to replace Lee - who would never speak out because of his deep Anfield attachment - with former West Ham coach Kevin Keen.
Liverpool called Lee's sacking a 'private matter'.
