well, he was.

I'm not his biggest fan but wish him no ill and hope a club down on its luck can turn it around. We need some good english managers

I think he has caught , Nicolas bendtner syndrome.

[MikeTheCubed]

If the difference between the Premier League and League Two is mainly just margins and decision making it makes you wonder why there aren't more footballers who've made the step up between the divisions.

Remember a couple of seasons ago some of our fans actually wanted us to sign that clown? Those WEREN'T the days.

[The Rock]

I thought he was still playing in the Isthmian League South no?

[I Ronic]

Those words might come back to haunt him if it all goes tits up!

Why clown?

Absolutely Sunbury. I thought his interview on Sky was very disrespectful to Macclesfield.  Basically they're lucky to have him for as long as he honours them with his presence!

While I wish him well, Sol's likely undoing will be lack of money for purchases, the lack of a little book crammed with names of likely lads who can perform at this level and, yes, the ego.

Regarding Mr Bendtner, I think he is serving time (albeit on a tag) for beating up a taxi driver in Denmark.  Nothing changes really.

Bendtner was certainly a clown and a steer unpleasant one. Sol was a very good player indeed but whether he has the humility and application to grind out success in the lowest reaches of the bottom division? Let's wait and see. Be good to see a home grown BAME manager come through but the odds are not great.

Absolutely Sunbury. I thought his interview on Sky was very disrespectful to Macclesfield.  Basically they're lucky to have him for as long as he honours them with his presence!

Why, he's applied for loads of Jobs by all accounts, yet Gerrard, Lampard and Barton (who'd just served a ban for illegal betting) all got jobs pretty much straightaway, maybe we should ask why that is first. I think given he had completed his badges, was a very good defender when he played, Maccelsfield are lucky to get him.

[MikeW]

King-Crud - correction from me - apparently it has 'yet to be decided' when he serves his time.

If this is an example of his motivational skills its hardly surprising he did not get a job

I have worked for big "I am;s" before and they always end up falling flat on their face

So you have a man who was a great centre half walk into the dressing room and tell a load of players who have 10% of his ability that they are lucky to have him as a manger,

"If you are so good then you play all 11 positions at once"

[Carborundum]

Managing is hard.  All sorts of people will set traps for new managers to blunder into, not just the media.  Good luck Sol, good luck any new manager.

The problem with Campbell is he comes across as a complete tit - imo  thats the real reason he hasn't had FL clubs knocking at his door, nothing else. You need more than just being a top player in your youth to getting a job, part of the interview process is "does this guy seem like a dickhead, and if he does, I'm not sure I want to employ him".

[Woolly Mammoth]

I was listening to him rabbiting on like an old hen, and I thought no player with any brain would want to play for him.
I shall give him until the end of the season, however, he may be gone before then when Macclesfield Town realise they have drawn the short straw, or in his case the last straw.

Exactly this. Campbell was a great player at his peak, but hasn't always come across as the soundest person off-field.

Post football all the talk was about him trying to break into Hollywood rather than stay in the game.

Good luck to him and Macclesfield, it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
