The Sammy Lee Opinion Thread

Not open for further replies.
Right then boys... I am here to happily eat a bit of humble pie.

I was fuming absolute FEWWWWMIN, when I found out it was going to be Allardyce as the new manager, however that slowly subsided the I found out that Little Sammy Lee was coming with him, then my anger focused purely on the club for allowing the little ferret to wear our crest.

However.

I watched from one of the boxes on Saturday, and I was really keen to see what was going on on the bench, what the dynamic was, what Sam would be like, if Sammy lee would be even arsed.

In 45 minutes of football, the fella done more then I have seen an assistant coach do in a long long time, I genuinely cannot remember an assistant who constantly talks, gee's up, praises, gets into the players like Sammy Lee. I was genuinely shocked, I cant even lie. Every player that come one or off got a big hug and some words of encouragement. It was that infectious that bloody Ferguson must have found the glue dissolver and actually was up and down too.

Watching the bench was probably more interesting then the game at some points.

I sat there and wondered how we have gone this long without an assistant who does actually do a job instead of sit there.

Sammy Lee, I partially salute you - you have more then impressed me with your attitude and what you do on the touchline, maybe you are what the players where missing and what you bring to the team might be that bit of difference. I know Kenny appreciated it in particular.
My older brother observed the same did more in ten minutes thatbthe Koemans did in 18 months!

Scenes next week though.....






To me it says... "Dad, do you think anyone will notice?"


'Search your feelings young kenwright, you know it to be true
 
People say this every time mate.

We could go back and find posts about Koeman's brother, Jan the happy physio man, you name it.

Why do people go so overboard after one game at home to Huddersfield?
Because we are so very, very desperate to find positives this season mate, straws are being clutched everywhere we look!

For what it’s worth I hope Lee is a resounding success, because if he-is, then we will be too! I want another trophy win, too many good blues have never experienced that. If we do win. Trophy mate, I wouldn’t care if Trump and the rotting corpse of Maggie Thatcher were coach and manager!
 
I think the fact he has agreed to come here says a lot about him. He may have been a lifelong RS player/supporter etc, but by coming to us he will have burnt all of those bridges as the RS fans will consider him a complete traitor. Just as we would if Unsy went over to coach their team. Just as people now consider Moyes after his parting comments, etc

As has been said by others, he has showed more fight and passion in one game than Koemans set up did in 18 months.
I for one wish him well.

The days of club loyalty from players and coaches has long gone. They are all mercenaries. Players move for the biggest payday. Coaches need instant results of they get sacked and moved on. As long as he gives 100% commitment while here, that's all we can ask.
