handsofclay Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I still don't get it and none of the replies on here has helped me solve the mystery. Sol Campbell Merged the title of this thread states. He says he was one of the world's greatest players. So who has Sol Campbell been merged with to become one of the world's greatest players? Rivelino? Tostao? Tommy Lawton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macclesfield fans will probably say 'what's going on here?'" he said when asked if his appointment was a gamble. "You've got an international footballer who has been one of the best footballers in the world coming to your club, I think there's a nice mutual balance there." "For me we've got to get basics right, score right, cross right. The difference between the Premier League and League Two is just margins, decision-making and things like that." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46391157 Condensed version: for starters.

Northern Red Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Cracking little story in the Times yesterday where they mentioned that Campbell had recently had an interview for the manager's job at an unnamed club. Apparently he couldn't name any of the club's players when asked, and admitted that he'd never seen any their matches. There absolutely is a debate to be had about whether potential black and ethnic minority managers are getting a fair deal. However Sol Campbell and Paul Ince are probably not the men to be leading the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it all a vast amount easier though, not that I said having money automatically means you can manage- nice job twisting words there. Real Madrid now are what, 3 points off top? Only real shock in La Liga is that Alaves are currently top 4. United, 2nd last season behind another team with unlimited funding. Mourihno now in his 3rd season there, and things consistently break down for him in his 3rd-4th season at a club. Naïve to think having unlimited cash makes no difference IMO.

Northern Red Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 He's said all the right things in the press and attracted some decent players. The fundamental problem is there's no money for anything. Literally. Local rumour has it that he's been funded by the PFA up to now. Maybe that's come to an end?

Not his fault but the finance isn't there. He's very wise to step away in my opinion.

I agree, best to get out and no one could blame him. I think that despite the very vocal opposition to the guy on here, he appears to have done a very good job for them. They looked relegated in November and survived and they have started this season strongly. Someone must be considering him in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes bemoan the fact that the South West isn’t a strong football area. But in some senses it is an advantage. Any small club in the North West is in the shadow of at least four huge clubs and loads of slightly smaller ones, all trying to attract support. Even the population of Macclesfield probably don’t pay that much attention to Macclesfield football club. Just as I largely ignore Taunton Town to drive miles to Ashton Gate.

SinéadB Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 He's done very well at Macclesfield, I hope he gets a new job soon. Lots of talk about how he hasn't been paid for at least 4-5 months so you can understand him leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 14, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Sol Campbell had to restart a post-match interview after mistakenly saying he manages Southampton instead of Southend. The former Arsenal and England defender has been in charge at Roots Hall since October 2019, but has failed to pull them away from the League One relegation zone. Campbell was speaking after watching his side lose 4-0 to second-placed Peterborough on Tuesday night, and appeared to get in a jumble over which club he manages. Campbell said: "I think I have got to say the young lads who - quite a lot of them played their first game for Southampton. They played really well and stuck to their tasks." The reporter then cut in suggesting they start the interview again: "Can I stop you? Do you want to do that again? Because your team is Southend." Campbell said: "Oh did I say Southampton?" The Shrimpers have won just twice in the League since Campbell's appointment and are 13 points from safety.
