Re: Sammy Lee returning as youth coach
Arsene Wenger and Red Nose were crap footballers (I'm not sugarring the pill for anyone). Bryan Robson was a good footballer. I don't think it means anything.

Though it made me sick to do so I had to check this out. As a striker up in Scotland he scored 170 goals in 317 games. That's 1 in 2 just about.
He's a nice person, but he wasn't a bad footballer.

Yes, but the premise was what PB did at Halifax. It was pretty much at the same level.
I see Bobo beat me to it.

...but he was playing for teams like Ayr, Queen's Park and Falkirk. With Dunfermline, Rangers and St. Johnstone he was unable to hold his place with the first team.

Jose Mourinho, Rafa Benitez, Arrigo Sacchi, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Helenio Herrera, Bob Paisley - multiple continental competition-winners all, not a cap between them. The first three barely made it into a first team.

After working as an assistant manager and a youth team coach in the early 1990s, he became an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson. Which possibly says more about Bobby Robson's inability to speak Portuguese than anything. Mind you, he probably could just they couldn't believe what he was saying ! Whatever else he was he was not the most verbally coherent man around.

i know theyre really similar. i remember bobby robson saying " he just said ' i'll pick it up ' and about x weeks later he's doing it" in some newspaper interview a few year back.

Re: Sammy Lee returning as youth coach
Right, so, other than for money, why else would Sammy Lee want to come to our place to coach the kids rather than do it at his beloved Liverpool? The mercenary , shameless, clueless, pseudo-positive-picking Scouse c*nt?

Re: Sammy Lee returning as youth coach
Just put things into perspective on the Youth side. As you can see we are below Blackburn, Stoke, West Brom and Crewe in Group C (Regional areas). We are not doing great so any help from experienced coaches (Even Sammy Lee) can only be a good thing.Little Green Man wrote:Has he started already?

Re: Sammy Lee returning as youth coach
Has it been posted why he's coming in?
See, I know and there's more to this than he's a good coach
It highlights Coyles jobs for the boys shambles

Re: Sammy Lee returning as youth coach
Bogdan being the only successful youth product of the last few years, I'd say it runs a little deeper than that.
