The powers that be at the club have decided to move Lee up stairs so he can concentrate on attracting players to the club and improving the clubs infrastructure. He will continue to have a say in playing affairs but ultimately Tuttle will be making the final decisions. The appointment of Tuttle though comes as a surprise because he is only 33 years old, therefore he replaces Watford manager Adam Boothroyd as the youngest manager in the Championship. The club see this as a long term success strategy. But with Tuttle only being caretaker manager this does not show full commitment!
It was rumoured during his time at Walsall that Lee would become Director of football but the move never materialised, he was sacked in April 2003 after a terrible run of form took us from a good mid-table position to heart breaking relegation arbeit the last 4 games of that season was not under Lee's guidance.
