Goughie just called him bomb-scare, cos when he walks in a room people run away..
The bloke has zero self awareness and this is something that any manager of people needs irrespective of profession. This will be his first and only job as a manager... Great PR for Macclesfield, who are being talked about, but this won't be the catalyst for greatness for either party.
In fairness to Macclesfield, they're probably going down no matter who the manager is, so why not go for a high profile name and get 15 minutes of fame before they drop.Main reason I think they’ve done it and it’s why I’ve no sympathy for them.
It will be interesting to see his coaching staff. I assume he'll give others the opportunities that he said were missing in the game.
It’s a shame really cause there definitely a need for more black managers and this ain’t gonna help.
Nobody looks at the job Chris Hughton is doing and thinks ‘Wow, we should get a black manager’ so why would they see Campbell doing a shit job and think ‘we should keep away from black managers’? More clubs will be thinking ‘We should keep away from Sol Campbell’.It’s a shame really cause there definitely a need for more black managers and this ain’t gonna help.

God, I hope he fails miserably and fucks off to wherever he needs to go to help this thread die.
From today's Times....Maybe Sol should look a little closer to home as to why he had been unsuccessful for other jobs.

It was Grimsby apparently.I really hope that club was the Woolwich
I know a chap who’s brother does equality work for the FA, An ex pro and a staunch advocate for BME footballers getting into training and coaching. And apparently according to both brothers, he is an absolute Arse.Story from Peter Crouch’s book in the paper today....When Sol was at Portsmouth he used to have a massage for two hours before the game started. Only finishing just before kick off. He commandeered the two physios...one for each leg. This stopped anyone else getting a massage. When someone complained he looked up and said ...when you’ve got 70 caps for England come back and talk about it.
Also when he was at Spurs no one had his mobile number, not even his managers . He is just not a people person. Could be another half time walk out!.
Edit...it was before training not the match.
Why has he never been invited for punditry?
Even as a one-off guest? (Like Rooney and Terry had been on Sky)
Even just on the WC panel?
Why has he never been asked to stay on anywhere as a coach? (I know he was at Trinidad but they are far removed from knowing him)
Why has he just bounced from one hobby to another without really settling?
Could it be because people can't stand being in his company and want nothing to do with him?
Sorry, but why is there a “need?”It’s a shame really cause there definitely a need for more black managers and this ain’t gonna help.
Sorry, but why is there a “need?”
I’m all for employing black managers if they have the skillset, but saying there is a “need” smacks of employing them because of their race rather than their ability.
To be fair, they did invite him to be a pundit once.
Never forget...
Is it though? Genuine question as I really don’t know what percentage of black applicants are actually getting jobs, when compared to the percentage of “non black” applicants getting employment.Good question my friend. The need is more the fact that the proportion of ex black players getting opportunity’s as managers compared to ex white players is massively disproportionate.
