Sol Campbell looks all set to take over at Macclesfield. Massive gamble for them.

Out of curiosity I looked at the odds for relegation.

Macc are 1/4 on and we are second favourites at 11/4.

This is slightly concerning. When I've seen us play (even when we've lost) I don't think we look like a relegation side. However, Fenty needs to dip into his pockets and get a few decent players in the window an ensure Embleton is here for the rest of the campaign.

Pretty basic when you look at the recent form. Of clubs around the bottom third of the table, Macclesfield have the worst record over the past 5 or 6 games and we're next in line.

You'd have to say that it's a big gamble for Macclesfield, but Campbell might just be able to wangle a few good loanees from big clubs just because of his name. Could be enough to save them. If not, it will no doubt be somebody else's fault because he apparently has one of the greatest football minds in the business. He told us so himself, so it must be true.

No more of a gamble than us appointing Jolley

Both totally inexperienced as managers

I don't know about qualifications (I don't know about coaching certs etc) Jolley might have the edge there but Campbell has more experience of the game and at a high level

To be fair though. That’s pretty much your default setting anyway 😉


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'

That is true but when has it ever really been an advantage? Great players rarely make great managers. In fact, if you look at many of the best managers they the drive to become coaches because their football careers had been underwhelming, either because injury (Clough, for instance) or that they simply weren't that outstanding as players.

Any reticence to appoint Sol has always been about his "fragile" nature. Nothing else.

And for that reason alone, people are bound to be skeptical about this news.

Could work for him - it's currently the hardest job in league football so there's absolutely no pressure.

It's quite a big could though.

I am simply saying, as Campbell has already been derided as management potential, that he is no less experienced than Jolley

I don't know about ex-players becoming successful managers but I bet there are more of them than there are ex-stockbroker / financial kids who succeed in football management

Sari isn't doing to bad...
I agree with your sentiments swin but Sol Campbell lost all credibility with his stupid statement about being a brilliant footballing mind...
Good luck to him in the conference!!!

In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

OK, then. The past 5 games - which is what the BBC web site shows on the league table. That shows 4 points from 5 games. People foolish enough to put bets on teams going down at this point of the season must get their facts from the BBC.  

As for tanga's idea that Brian Clough had an underwhelming playing career, I wish we had such an underwhelming striker! He scored 251 goals in 274 league games which is just about twice as many goals as Mendonca scored in his whole career. Not a half bad record.

Let’s hope this thread doesn’t come back to haunt us. Like everyone else, I have no idea how good or otherwise Sol Campbell will be at football management however I will at least credit him with having the balls to take this job on.

If you fail in your first job as a football manager there tends not to be a second, and this one looks incredibly tough on paper. Deluded or not, only time will tell, but evidently he believes he can pull it off.

You're not counting Lancashire Boys League and a Subbuteo team in Sweden surely?

Anyway great start for Campbell so far one nil up at Exeter. perhaps he'll have the same lucky streak Jolley had at the end of last season and get Macc out of trouble

"Yeah, well you can prove anything with facts can't you!".

Jolley has got more managerial experience than Campbell, given that Campbell has never been a manager before, and Jolley has, in its simplest terms.

If you want to go one further, Jolley has more coaching experience and a higher level of qualification too.

I actually don’t think this is the worst job to take on. If he gets them to 23rd and still goes down there’s very much a ‘well it’s not HIS fault they went down’ mentality. Look at Jolley for AFC, he clearly didn’t do a bad job there despite joining them as they were already pretty much doomed (more so than Macc right now).

Anything anyone else does will be better than anything Jolley does, surely you know this? Ipswin told us we were doomed when he took over last season and he was proven right and he's told us time and again how useless Jolley must be because he doesn't like him. He's always right about these sort of things. Like when he told us what a poor signing Bogle was for us and that he was a crock. Ignore the fact he scored over 30 league goals for us in 18 months and was sold for a huge profit, he was useless.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I merely pointed out that Campbell's appointment at Macclesfield is no more off the wall and crazy as Jolley's was at Blundell Park. For some reason there appears to be a distinct 'anti-Campbell' crowd on here and I can't see why, is it a racist thing perhaps?.

As for Bogle where are the mad illegitimates who predicted him playing in the Premier League and making his debut for England now?

30 goals in the Conference and Div 4 is useful  but not that special Amond did it too didn't he?

As for the money it hasn't exactly led to us making any class signings (especially another 30 goal striker) has it?

It’s not a racist thing , it’s an arrogance thing .
Telling everyone he had the greatest mind in football isn’t going to win him many friends .
Let’s be honest if a black player like Ian Wright had gone into management I doubt there would be anyone not wanting him to do well , just because someone is an anus and black doesn’t mean he’s still not an anus , there are plenty of white ex England international players that bottom just as big an anus as Campbell that we’d all love to see fail too

Bogle has enabled John Fenty to reduce his loans by £400,000 in the past two years...so that's one good thing....I guess.

Please don't be sillier than usual

If the one who gets in first is wrong the person with the opposite view is surely entitled and must point out that he is wrong (or is everyone supposed to agree with you?)

My point about Bogle was that, as usual on here, folk got over excited and started making ridiculous claims about him and as for how much money he is alleged to have made the club, where is it, its hardly put us in a position to buy better players has it?

It's not a case of having an opposite view. When we signed Bogle you were full of claims about him being a crock and a poor signing. He wasn't. He was rarely injured, scored plenty for us and we sold him for a big profit. Your opinion was categorically wrong.

Your other point is still irrelevant. Regardless of where that money went, that doesn't stop you being wrong about him being a bad player or a crock. I sort of hope that you're not as thick or ridiculous in real life as you are on here or you are a really quite tragic character.

Why are people still feeding Swin ?
He must have a grin like a Cheshire Cat with all the bites he gets. !!
He’s not malicious, just mischievous. But it seems to be working !!


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'

Quoted from Ipswin


Please don't be sillier than usual

If the one who gets in first is wrong the person with the opposite view is surely entitled and must point out that he is wrong (or is everyone supposed to agree with you?)

My point about Bogle was that, as usual on here, folk got over excited and started making ridiculous claims about him and as for how much money he is alleged to have made the club, where is it, its hardly put us in a position to buy better players has it?


What is the point in supporting a Grimsby Town if you dont allow yourself to get carried away when a player like Bogle comes along and ignites a fanbase.His display vs Stevenage was a football highlight in our last 20 year`s of league football and for the course of that 90 mins he was unplayable. Yes he moved on and it hasn`t worked out for him at all time since but he isn`t the first and wont be the last.Remember Birtles going from Forest to Man U for a big fee the step up was too much for him it never made him less of a player just not good enough for the level above. Omar will be back in the lower leagues before long and he will start scoring goals regular because it`s in his armoury to do so.The money he brought via transfer did put us in a position to buy better players( Osborne and Jones an upgrade for me) we did but Mr Bignot went way OTT and spent most of it and JF the rest off his loans. Based on last night and the previous 4 home games this team are beginning to gel it was always going to take time and the fruits of this are beginning to bear fruit.We now need some footballing fortune in the FA Cup a win Sunday and a plum 3rd round tie with Jolley keeping a steady hand on the tiller we will be a threat January onwards.I bet you a pt were 9th or above come May Swin.UTM

Not at all in fact I am getting totally drunk off with all the attacks simply because I disagree with posts on here.

It appears I am not allowed an opposite view to the rose tinted bespectacled masses.

It seems that if someone is not constantly slagging off Fenty and does not think the sun shines out of Jolley's bottom he is the target for abuse.

When you have been supporting Town as long as Ipswin you will remember the really good times, McMenemy,, Newman, Kerr, Booth, and Buckley Mks1 and 2  anyone under the age of say 25 -30 has only known abject dross compared to those times, with only infrequent rays of sunshine, often snuffed out before they come to shine.
So while people are worshiping a current little ray, Swin et al have seen it all before, which is why they don't get carried away.
Yes he may be an embittered grumpy so and so, but he is still entitled to his opinions, some of which you can see where he is coming from.  You don't have to agree with them, its a free world, but surely all this abuse???

He's entitled to call anyone who questions Sol Campbells arrogant claims and at times bordrerline lunacy a racist?

Misquoted and criticised again! I didn't call anyone a racist I merely queried whether the unsubstantiated and to me unnecessary and inexplicable anti-Campbell feeling could be fuelled by racism, if not why is everyone so against the bloke?

For some reason there appears to be a distinct 'anti-Campbell' crowd on here and I can't see why, is it a racist thing perhaps?.

That's no misquote. Nor were the things attributed to him unsubstantiated, unnecessary or inexplicable. Nor is it 'anti-Campbell'. You ask if it's a racist thing and give no other alternative. No, it's not at all racist and nobody in their right mind would conclude that, given the man's extraordinary outbursts in general media coverage.

He's an oddball character, one day he's aiming at Parliament, then London Mayor then a 'top' manager with one of the 'greatest minds' in football. All a little strange and unsettling for me, but certainly not unsubstantiated, unnecessary or inexplicable attacks on him, it's documented everywhere and will be found on almost every football forum,

Campbell has always struck me as a bit of a Walter Mitty type character, albeit one who didn't daydream the part about being a very good footballer in his time.

He seems to think that, because he was a very good footballer, he could somehow automatically become a very good MP or  manager, etc etc. Quite a common fallacy held by many who achieve success in one field due to a natural aptitude or just circumstance and don't realise that their skillset might not be easily transferable.

And yet in the same post indicate that there is an overly pro-Bogle feeling by the very same people.  When you take a second to think about it you contradict and undermine your own argument.

So you are not calling anyone a racist but you are questioning that the anti-Campbell feeling could be fuelled by racism. So if you are not calling anyone a racist, you are certainly intimating it. Maybe not one individual, but seemingly a group of people ie those on the Fishy who have an issue with Sol Campbell.

As others have said, Campbell is a kn ob in most peoples opinions including mine. The reasons are nothing to do with the colour of his skin, it is that he is quoted as saying he has one of the greatest footballing brains in the world, he stated that he would have been England captain for 10 years if was white (no Sol, the fact that you are a complete loner, only interested in yourself, in no way a team player are the reasons you were never captain), the fact that among his friends are people like woman beater and bell end of the highest order Stan collymore (who I also believed made reference to others being racist just because Campbell hadn’t been given a job), the fact that he stood for London Mayor (concentrating on get a football management job then Sol) and other reasons I can’t be bothered to start on as I have better things to do.

Maybe, just maybe, these are the reasons for the anti-Campbell feeling.

On a similar subject, while our player, and since leaving, what are the reasons for the continuous mud throwing at Omar Bogle?

Just asking.

Why is everyone so against the bloke? I think those reasons have now been fully documented so surely they don't need to be explained again.

But to start chucking the racist card into the melting pot is SUCH a lazy argument, especially when you usually offer an interesting (but different ) point of view.

Come on Swin...you're better than that!. Leave race out of this, because you and I both know it's got f**k all to do with it.

I mentioned the race card because I still can't for the life of me see why every fornicator is against the bloke

He's never done any of us any harm, (unless he's poked someone's missus) he a bit self opinionated, (show me a top professional footballer who isn't), he has some crazy ideas (so what, so have many on here and the board of GTFC certainly have)

Why do people have to knock him all the time surely thinking he isn't going to be the world's best manager (and feeling smug if they are proved right) is surely enough

It's the same with Steve Evans, what has he done to deserve the shite that's been put his way on here? Why do we tend to single people out?

He is so much of a fruitcake that he has made hundred of millions of £ pounds talking rubbish,
Who is the fruitcake Icke or the thousands of people who pay silly money to listen to his lectures and buy his books.?

I can not believe why some one has not sued him yet ie, Bush senior who is supposed to be a shape shifter/ reptilian not to mention what he says about our Queen.

I'm not sure David Icke has personally made "hundreds of millions of pounds".

As far as the original opinion about Campbell being 'no more a managerial risk than Jolley', based on their comparable inexperience, this has been seen to be factually flawed - Ie, a load of cobblers.

To be fair, it's every other fecker who keeps bringing Bogle up as a way to invalidate his opinions. His opinions turned out to be part wrong and part right. Bogle wasn't a crock and was unplayable for us when his head was in the right place. But he was massively overrated by many on here, to the point where he was expected to be in the Premier league and even England squad, yet he's not even cut it at Championship level.

With Mr Evans I think purely down to his touchline behaviour believe this or believe it not he really wanted the Town job more than once and I am led to believe actually had an interview at one point? Make no mistake he loathes and despises GTFC and this is why he behaves how he does when facing us he even got arrested FFS

Nothing changes-------
last tuesday nights BBC summary,...
(Maddison's wonder-strike will no doubt have brought a smile to the face of suspended Posh manager Steve Evans, who watched on from the stands as he served a touchline ban for four misconduct offences this season).


It's not only the way he behaves when facing GTFC, He's a very passionate Manager which ever Club he manages.I had a season ticket at Boston for many years and sat directly behind the dugout, quite entertaining at times    Away from football Mr.Evans is a really likable guy, he was a close neighbour to me when I lived in Peterborough.

hmmmmm i struggle to believe that Evans is likeable. Am friends with someone who played for him - summed Evans up as a nasty,foul mouthed, sexist bully who could get into a dispute in a phone box and was not averse to reducing women staff to tears for the most minor of reasons

I did not say he was worth hundreds of millions,

He  said it takes a workforce of about 60 people to put on one of his lectures ,

For the last 30 years he has been all around the world numerous times talking to full houses,

He is a  millionaire though and has to pay all his staff out of the total amount,

If you have looked up his wealth  it will say $500,000,

BUT

He lives in a million + pound mansion and has a Swiss bank account.

Quoted from grimsby pete


I did not say he was worth hundreds of millions,

He  said it takes a workforce of about 60 people to put on one of his lectures ,

For the last 30 years he has been all around the world numerous times talking to full houses,

He is a  millionaire though and has to pay all his staff out of the total amount,

If you have looked up his wealth  it will say $500,000,

BUT

He lives in a million + pound mansion and has a Swiss bank account.

Pete, you said he had 'made hundreds of millions'. Check your post. He hasn't.
What is it with you Suffolk based types posting stuff that just isn't true?!

Quoted from forza ivano

hmmmmm i struggle to believe that Evans is likeable. Am friends with someone who played for him - summed Evans up as a nasty,foul mouthed, sexist bully who could get into a dispute in a phone box and was not averse to reducing women staff to tears for the most minor of reasons


Evans is an interesting one. As a football manager he is odious, away from football you do hear different things. As Grimal knows, I live very close in Peterborough to where Evans used to live and I know a neighbour of his well, and he says he is an arrogant toss er.

On the flip side, I get my haircut at the same place as Evans and they think he is a decent bloke. Mind you, they also think Marcus Maddison is a decent bloke 😳

Sorry I will explain what I meant again for you,

Over a period of 30 + years The David Icke show has travelled the world numerous times talking to full houses,

He said it took 60 people to put a lecture on and all those people need paying ,

Add on the flights and hotels for those thar needed to travel,

Some who do the photo's or other technical stuff might not have to go to the actual lecture but still need paying,

He has dozens of books published  ( at least one a year )

He has a mansion on the Isle of Wight and owns a £100,000+ car ( one up than Fenty's )

Add all that up and it will not be far off 2 hundred million.

I never stated he was worth that amount just that he had made that amount,

But

I do not really care if my figures are way off because he certainly earned more money over the 30 years than if he had stuck at being a footballer or stayed with the BBC,

but

You have to admit he has grossed a hell of a lot of money talking shite,

PS  Did you know the moon is hollow and might be full of aliens..

Ha yeah, I was going to reply to the post above saying it's rare that Evans is the more likeable of the 2 people mentioned

Quoted from pen penfras


To be fair, it's every other fecker who keeps bringing Bogle up as a way to invalidate his opinions. His opinions turned out to be part wrong and part right. Bogle wasn't a crock and was unplayable for us when his head was in the right place. But he was massively overrated by many on here, to the point where he was expected to be in the Premier league and even England squad, yet he's not even cut it at Championship level.


I don't disagree that some people got carried away in their over-optimistic assessment of Bogle - the exact opposite of Swin's Eyeoreish take on things.

But I was referring to Posh's post on the irony of Swin raising the question of racism. To be clear, Swin asked if the real reason for the Campbell bashing was racism, when with equal lack of justification others could ask the same of Swin in his attitude to Bogle.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Nothing to do with his skin colour, I just think he’s a tw@t. He’s been blowing his own trumpet again today.

Campbell: "I know some Macclesfield fans will probably be saying 'what is going on here?' But you've got an international footballer, who has been one of the best footballers in the world, coming to your club.

He did. [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46391157[/url]

He also said, and where it came from I don't know..

"You want the situation to become normal, so you don't see black or white, you just see a football manager."

I think they're in for a rollercoaster, specially when things don't go so well.

Sol Campbell said on Midlands TV tonight “I want to take them back to where they belong”.

That will be Non-League then.

Hmmm, wonder who that is, one hell of a first signing Sol.
