Yeah I guess so. They serve a purpose, and it goes without saying that they can't be as independent as a newspaper. I guess I just get irritated when someone questions the integrity of a journalist just because he's an Everton-fan.

TBH, I dont think bolton was the right club for sammy. He'll get another chance one day Im sure.

Would be interesting to see what Lee does at Liverpool. But, does this mean Ablett has no future at Liverpool except as reserve team coach? He could after all have been promoted to assistant manager and someone else brought in as reserve team coach instead.
He's been offered half a million per year. That would swing it for me, especially as it represents career progression as well.

Re: The return of Sammy Lee
Sammy Lee was booed when he got took off in his last game for Liverpool.(the new fan was starting to creep in then)

Anyway Souness went bazerk and called Liverpool fans(and for once he was right) for giving a lad who gave his all for Liverpool a load of shit.

Nice to see Sammy Lee back,glad its not "training ground snitch" big nose Thompson

Sammy Lee would be a great appointment. Rafa needs someone to bounce ideas off.

Made up he's coming back - as others have said I think he will make the perfect foil for Rafa.

Totally agree with you about Thompson atk. Good Red and all that but so are all of we. It doesn't mean to say we would know anything about being an assistant. Thompson is a nark and a bully and a troublecauser. Bergues was the main man behind Houlliers early success not Thompson. The players loved him and only when he left did things start going tits up.

I don't think Thompson was behind any of Houlliers success at all and I don't think many of the players respected or liked him.

Re: The return of Sammy Lee
LIVERPOOL are in talks with Sammy Lee about becoming Rafa Benitez's assistant manager.

Reds chief executive Rick Parry met with former Bolton boss Lee yesterday and further talks were scheduled for today – with both parties hopeful an agreement will be reached imminently.

Benitez moved to bring Lee back to Anfield as soon as first team coach Alex Miller handed in his notice and quit the club to take the manager’s job at Japanese side JEF United Chiba.

The move has now been approved by club owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who recognised Benitez has been without a number two since the departure of Pako Ayesteran last August.

Should the latest round of talks with Lee progress without any hitches, the former Reds midfielder will be appointed to the club’s coaching staff for the second time in his career.

The 49-year-old became reserve team manager in 1993 before progressing through the ranks and becoming first team coach under Gerard Houllier in 1999.

He left the club he supported as a boy to take up a position with the England national team in 2004 before being made Bolton manager in 2007.

However, he survived just 14 games at the Reebok and has been out of the game since then.

But he is now on the verge of making an emotional return to Anfield as Benitez bids to beef up his backroom staff ahead of next season.

Meanwhile, Benitez does not intend to allow the summer break to get in the way of his planning for the forthcoming campaign.

The Reds boss insists he will continue his planning and squad rebuilding even when on holiday with his wife and family.

“I don’t tend to have too much time away from football, but I will try to switch off for a bit,” he said. “I will have to try to hide my mobile phone, and if my wife can't find out about it I’ll try and keep it on me.

“But if she finds it I’m sure she’ll throw it in the swimming pool.”

Re: The return of Sammy Lee
Made up if this happens. Rafa has few weaknesses but one of them is that he is quite cold and whilst this suits some players others need an arm round the shoulder. Sammy will be great for this as well as obviously his coaching skills and the added asset that he speaks Spanish too.

was thinking the same thing myself mate.
however good your manager is, you need a number 2 alongside him
