The great thing about Campbell being in Macclesfield is that in the Manchester area, people are always referred to as “our”.

i.e. “our Liam”, “our Noel”, “our Shaun” etc

I can’t think of anything more apt as a prefix for Mr Campbell...

Ivy tilsley in Corrie used the same saying alot for her husband don.......

Macclesfield Town's unpaid players say they intend to boycott Saturday's League Two game with Crewe Alexandra at Moss Rose.

The Macc playing squad have put in writing their intention not to play.

It is understood the situation is having such a detrimental effect that the players believe they are not ready physically, mentally, or emotionally.

As of Wednesday evening, the staff and players' wages remain unpaid, following last month's late payments.

The home league game with Mansfield Town went ahead as scheduled on 15 November following a similar threat of strike action, as did the previous week's FA Cup tie against Kingstonian.

Players first issued an ultimatum to owner Amar Alkadhi earlier this week saying they would go on strike again if they were not paid the wages they are owed.

The club's first team have already been on strike over unpaid salaries this season, forcing the club to field an inexperienced team in their FA Cup first-round tie at home against Kingstonian on 10 November.

Macclesfield were subsequently charged with misconduct by the English Football League, and referred to a disciplinary panel after failing to pay their players on time.

The threat of a further strike for their League Two fixture against Mansfield was averted when the majority of players' outstanding salaries were understood to have been settled in full.

Campbell backs wind-up proposal

Former Macclesfield manager Sol Campbell has backed a bid from HM Revenue & Customs to wind up the League Two club.

The High Court was told on Wednesday that the 45-year-old, who now manages Southend, is owed £180,000 by the club.

A winding-up petition issued over an unpaid tax bill was eventually adjourned for an eighth time.

The financially-troubled club will now appear again before the court over their debts on 18 December.

So, Campbell was in charge for what, 8 and a half months. And he’s owed £180k. 
That’s the equivalent of about £250k per year. 
Begs the question. What the hell are Macclesfield doing paying a manager £250k per year (nearly 5k per week). 
Weren’t alarm bells ringing when they promised this money and then didn’t pay it? Surely the EFL must’ve had some concerns? 
How can a club which clearly had financial constraints, justify that sort of salary to 1 person?

5k a week at that level is mind blowing.

It is huge but they offered to pay it and you can’t blame Campbell for trying to get it. No matter how much he might have accumulated as a player, I am sure £180k is not chicken feed.

Their board must have been desperate or fraudulent to offer so much.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming Campbell in any way. I’m just astonished that a football club at that level would pay a manager that much. Should’ve raised instant red flags to the EFL.

It was probably a bonus for keeping them up which makes sense for them to do if survival is worth a lot more than

Surely a large chunk will be an avoid relegation bonus?

Makes sense, and would also explain why he hadn’t kicked up a fuss during his tenure, only at the end.

Didn’t Campbell also claim that Pompey owed him £1m when they were in dire financial peril? Why do clubs in fragile situations seem to value him so highly and chuck big money contracts his way? And before the usual ones squeal that “it was Redknapp wasting Pompey’s money” - Harry had no influence over players’ contracts and how much they were paid, at any of his clubs.

Loved the Notts Co fans’ banner after Campbell walked out on them after ONE game ... “We had Sol but he ‘aint a soldier”

Not specifically Sol Campbell as such, more their non fulfilment of fixture but it all feeds into the issues that are there.

6 points! Docked for not fulfilling that fixture and the non payment of wages which led to it recently!

EFL definitely have tightened up the Governance post Harvey and post Bury, it seems, so far anyway...
