Sam's the man?

With news that Sammy Lee has "left Bolton by mutual consent" what price him joining our coaching staff in the near future? Reputedly a good coach, it would appear that Lee, like several top class coaches before him (Brian Kidd springs instantly to mind) has failed to make the step up to management. The recent spat with toon old boy Gary Speed can't have helped.

On that subject, who seriously believes in the idea of leaving a job by mutual consent? Surely the impetus for the departure has to come from one party or the other (and I strongly doubt it was Lee). Why don't people just say, Bolton have asked Sammy Lee to sling his hook, offered him some money to go, and he's taken it and headed for the travel agent?
