He worked hard to find an opportunity where he could prove he had management skills.

He's done that - at 4th division level at least - so I imagine he'll find his next opportunity easier to find.

He's an odd bloke but clearly got some management talent. Good luck to him.

Like many others I felt his appointment was a disaster waiting to happen but he rolled his sleeves up and survived against the odds.

Some trigger happy chairmen could start pulling the trigger by the end of the month; including Mr Swann down the road if results don't pick up soon. Assuming he wants it, he won't be waiting long for another job and wouldn't be surprised to see him rock up at Orient.

They were a very good side last season at our place, it seemed they had twice as many players on the pitch. They were well drilled and looked fitter than us. He’s shown he can do the job and will get another go soon enough

He brought in a few of his ex England teammates to help as well.I imagine the wow factor would have helped as well eg the players looking up to him.

I’m gonna stick up for him here. I think he’s a good bloke, potentially a very good manager, and he’s been let down by Macc who are a shambles. He deserves better.
I second that .Remember speaking to a ex professional and they said the same.He knew people who knew him and he was meant to be a nice person.


One life,one love .

I also didn't think he would do any good. However, I'e changed my mind on that and admire him for what he did and the way he went about it. I thought he would have left during the close season

I also didn't think Steve Gerrard and Frank Lampard would do any good but they surprised me as well. Although, they do have connections with clubs with better players to loan

Yes, it's been merged due to the original thread title being somewhat derogatory to Campbell.

Not wholly surprising, cannot imagine a guy as ambitious as Sol sticking around at a club like Macc for long in any case. Add in the off the field situation it was probably only a matter of time.

I think he did a good job to keep them up last season, but he was helped greatly by Yeovil imploding and Notts being the biggest laughing stock in English football last season. Think this season it is going to be much tighter at the bottom of our division as so far no obvious signs of a basket case...oh wait Scun....
