      Could Sammy Lee Manage Liverpool
      Oct 20, 2010 08:41:55 am
       I would be interested in what forum members think about Sammy and the job he is doing for us.When I see him sitting by Roy on a match day he does not appear to have much input into what is happening on the pitch.When Phil Thompson was assistant to Houllier he used to get very animated and could be seen in discussion with houllier.In fact when Houllier had his heart problem Phil took over and did a fantastic job if my memory is correct.This brings me to the question would be a success running L.F.C as he did not go too good at Bolton.Does Sammy have much say at Melwood  regarding training and how the game should be played.

      Would be a mistake to name him manager for the reasons you mentioned, we need a experienced manager who will also be a motivator for the players, like Rijakaard or Hiddink

      Hi Billy.
      Its a reasonable call considering our present predicament but ... No.
      Sammy had a stint at management.

      He is a true Red.
      He got all the tradition and the feel of the club back into Melwood and his place is best doing what he does now.

      I was not advocating that Sammy should be our manager,I was more interested in what his actual input is regarding team selection and how much he contributes to our training methods.Like you I have the utmost respect for Sammy for what he did as a player and know that he is Liverpool through and through.Thank you for your reply mate  I appreciate and respect it.

      Great assistant, bad manager.

      I think his time in charge of Bolton highlighted that.

      There's a reason why he is the assistant over here and you only need to jog your memory back to his Bolton times to realise that he is too far away from being a capable Liverpool manager.

      Nah, he failed at Bolton. But then again they have a different mentality.

      Perhaps he could with Kenny helping ??

      I did say he was not too good at Bolton.

      I personally don't really see what he brings to the table, well more so on match days, at training it might be a different story. But under Rafa and Roy he didn't really seem to involved in what goes on.

      As for the question, he would give it his best shot, but I don't feel Sammy is cut out for management.

      To be honest I don't even think he's a good assistant manager lets alone a good manager, If I had my way I'd keep Sammy but only as a coach.

      We have had great managers that were not "proven" at other clubs. I think we could risk it, at least until the end of the season. Dont think it would happen though, because I would imagine the new owners have different things in mind.

      My initial reaction to the thought that Sammy could be Manager of 'Pool was "you must be daft or drunk or both". Your Post gas opened my eyes and he would have benefited from his Bolton experience. Great post, thank you.
