Trivia Question

Post by mummywhycantieatcrayons » Mon Oct 15, 2012 2:38 am

I am very keen that the number of times Sammy Lee is allowed to pick and set up the team is kept to an absolute minimum.

Which got me thinking of a trivia question for those with better memories than mine (and those who have more to remember): can anyone think of more examples of a club sacking its manager, only for that same man to take charge of the first team again on some future occasion?

Good question, and I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Oooooh, I was just going to put him. How come TV companies fawn over him? He's hardly been off of the television this weekend.

I'll have to put Barry Fry at Peterborough instead.

Ah read, didn't read the 'sacked' bit, was thinking of those who had left of their own will and come back.

If the Bolton News is to be believed, Lee will have at least a few games in charge. At least.

What if he wins those?

I dread to think.........

I would wager that Sammy Lee has drawn more in wages from us in return for least input than any other human being. Rinsed us as a player, rinsed us as a manager - and yet we've taken the pikey little c*nt back on for another do! :shock:

We will. And Eddie may be tempted to save some money.

Short term ok, longer term, I'd be worried......
