Much as I dislike twatter in principle I see rent a gob Collymore is on there suggesting some ulterior motive as to why Town didn't give the managers job to old big head Sol. I'm offended at even the veiled suggestion that we would take against Sol for any other reason than he's an arrogant sharp object rather than because of his BAME background.
And whilst I'm on it Stan, Stan the dogging man best known for his recipe for battered swede can keep his opinions to himself cos I for one don't want to know what he thinks.

You just had to look at Sol Campbells Englands selection for the World Cup to see why no one wants to appoint the bloke


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Not the first time he's expressed ill thought out racism related tosh is it. Perhaps he didn't notice that we recently employed mixed race Marcus Bignot. If he wants to allege that Grimsby Town are inherently racist, then he'll need to raise his game and get ready to have his position dismantled.

Half of me thinks that so called celebritiy self publicists like Collymore deliberately post controversial, provocative guff to feed their need for attention whilst their 'stardom' fades.

His tweets on the matter are really horrific the more I read them. Hundreds have people have challenged him but he just doubles down on it. His arguments are all over the place but ultimately he's accusing the club and the board of racism.

It's disgraceful.

In his post he highlights Gerrard and Lampard getting bigger jobs with less qualifications and to that extent he has a point. I would rather criticise their appointments though than Campbell missing out. He didn't get our job cos he wanted any old job and thought it would be 'easy' with no real idea of the history of our club or what it means to us. Tell me any business this day that would hire you for anything but the lowliest job if you just went in saying it would be easy and you would do any job? Let alone one that is as emotive and important as managing a football club.

Does he even know that we employed Marcus Bignot in 2016? I think we are still in the minority of clubs having appointed a black manager. So how on earth cane he hint at racism?

Maybe he's auditioning for a job on Talksport. Spout some indefensible rubbish then sit back while idiots pay 13p a minute to ring up and disagree with them.

Didn’t Campbell say that he’d gladly be interviewed if we got in contact with his agent? Not exactly much desire there, was there? Sol’s problem is that he wants to walk straight into a cushy Championship+ job, not slum it in the lower leagues. The main reason he doesn’t get picked is because he’s an idiot.

He’s already on Talksport. Will be interesting to see how the club respond as I’d say there’s grounds for legal action over the implied accusation of racism.

There was a time when accusations of racism were met with a sympathetic ear and would automatically receive support. However, people are now sick to the back teeth of uninformed idiots like Collymore chucking the race card around like confetti when it’s totally inappropriate.

And I agree - I think the club should take legal action against him for this disgraceful slur. It’s high time this nonsense was stamped out.

Don’t have twatter. Is it just us the woman beater is complaining about ?


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Thing is that post is so open for different interpretations, to me he is just stating the obvious that Sol isn't very good at interviews.

The fact we appointed Bignot would make Collymore’s insinuation a bit stupid really.

This sort of idiocy does a lot of harm to a worthy cause. Globally I think there is probably an issue with ethnic minorities getting management jobs but if a excrement candidate who is a crank doesn’t get a job and he happens to be black it’s sod all to do with his skin colour.

I don’t think that ‘Sol’ himself actually does interviews. It’s one of his ‘people’.

I think I’ll send my son for my next job interview. He speaks far more eloquently than me.



Then if I don’t get the job I’ll get some self opinionated, woman beating pundit to say it was ageism !!

If you're talking about that tweet that Meza posted, then no chance the club can take any legal action. It doesn't say anything other than Campbell couldn't get the Grimsby Town job. In reality, we can all between the lines and infer that he means it's because of the colour of his skin.

The thing that confuses me is, why Grimsby in particular? Has Sol only applied for one job? Why were Gerrard and Lampard picked ahead of him when they all have zero experience and Sol has the best credentials. The headline should read:

Campbell
UEFA Pro Licence (Gold standard). Illustrious playing career.

Can't get a job.

I think he was bleating about his lack of opportunity when the interviewer asked him if he'd applied for the job. He replied that he'd be interested because he couldn't say it was too low down. They then contacted JF to create a story that didn't exist.
He wants to walk into a championship job, and was never really interested in coming here

Which is fine, because we didn't really want him here either! It's rare to find such an experienced and decorated player and yet have pretty much nobody with anything nice to say about him.

As for Collymore, my guess is that he doesn't have the faintest clue that we employed Bignot (if he even knows who Bignot is). I don't think he's making a specific dig at GTFC per se, but his whole argument is somewhat defeated by his reference to us considering Bignot's recent employment by the club.

I think Campbell needs to develop an appreciation of the fact that most people think he's a bit of a male private so he needs to show (or pretend) a bit of humility if he wants to get a job in management.

Let`s be honest IF Sol really wanted the Town job he would have got it.

The reason I say that he would have come to the interview prepared and would have done his homework prior to the interview on the football club.He may well have been a success he may well have been a failure and his skin colour had nothing to do with him not getting the Town job.The bloke never wanted the job but kind of dug himself in a hole where he had to apply his ego suggests he should have got the Arsenal job.

If Collymore's foot could have hit a football as accurately as it keeps finding his mouth, he would have been a worldbeater.

I can see your logic there Micky but I think even our non-chairman had learned a lesson from the Newell debacle about big name appointments. He was not even going to get involved in interviews with anyone like Campbell. In fact it would not surprise me if JF was secretly quite pleased Phil Brown turned us down too for much the same reasons.

I also think Stan has used incorrect wording but could be down to terminology.

For example he says "cant get grimsby town job" when it should be "didnt get tbe grimsby town job" in fact why refetence town at all.  Lol
