you`v sussed me out........dam it :crybaby:


Nah seriously though,,,,i thought he was crap FACT


is that better


nope, you saying something is a fact doesn't make it a fact
being a stalwart of a defence that went 49 games unbeaten - that's a fact
being in the PFA team of the year twice when he was with us - that's a fact
being a key member of a side that won 2 league titles and 3 FA Cups - that's a fact
scoring in a champions league final - that's a fact

are you slow, or just trolling?

The Ferdinand/Campbell partnership is the best CB pairing for England I have ever seen. They complimented each other perfectly.

Boxer thinks Sol was crap -> FACT
I think Boxer knows crap about defenders -> FACT

In all seriousness, even if the guy wasn't the most loyal throughout his career, while he played for us he gave it all and was a superb defender.

But the thing is. We weren't the ones rude about it, at first...

You called us numpty's and told us to "jog on", your opinion is your opinion but you're the one that made it sound like only yours was the one that mattered, or the correct one... Nobody else.

You also seem to be in an extreme minority who wouldn't consider him as such.

I dont need to :BangHead: its my opinion.

but what do i know :dontknow: im just a factory worker. who knows nothing about football. i just go and watch Arsenal.

how about all you know-it-all`s. any of you football coaches,,,,nah did`nt think so. makes me laugh. you think coz you rate him then thats all that matters. if he did`nt play for us you`d all be slagging him.

opinions are what make the world go round,,but hay.


so you don't care at all if your opinion is valid? Each to their own I guess
you'll understand if I discount your opinion as completely and utterly irrelevant then? Good.
I don't think Campbell is a legend purely based on my own opinion, that would be stupid. I base it on what he's done for the club.
Sol Campbell is an Arsenal legend... FACT

I loved him, although we lost this final I still remember that goal he scored in the Champions League final in 2006, I think it was in Paris when we got a freekick and just headed it into the to corner, it is still one of favourite moments.

For the reasons cited earlier, I dont class him an Arsenal legend. Asking to leave for a move abroad all the way to Portsmouth!

I class him as a great player in a legendary era

Sol Campbell: Macclesfield Town manager leaves by mutual agreement

Manager Sol Campbell has left League Two side Macclesfield Town by mutual consent after eight months in charge.

The 44-year-old former England defender took over in November 2018 with the Silkmen bottom of League Two.

Campbell kept them in the English Football League thanks to a run of just two defeats in their final 10 games.

"Macclesfield Town gave me a great beginning in the managerial side of the game and fantastic learning curve which I am truly grateful for," he said.

"I would like to thank all the players and staff for their support during my time at the Moss Rose and also all the loyal fans, whose belief at the end of last season ultimately played a tangible role in our success."

Campbell began his managerial career four years after describing the lack of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) managers in English football as a "sad indictment" of the game.

Following his appointment, Campbell said he had submitted "at least 12-15 applications" before he eventually landed the job at Macclesfield.

His departure, which Macclesfield said had been agreed "in the most amicable of ways", is the first managerial exit from any club in England's top four divisions this season.

Campbell's relative on-field success at Macclesfield came amid off-field financial issues at the club.

Players revealed they considered boycotting their final game of last season in protest about unpaid wages after they were paid late for three consecutive months.

On Wednesday, six former Silkmen players defended their decision to lead a winding-up petition against the club, following criticism in a club statement.

The six players applied to dismiss the petition once their money had been recovered and said it was a "last resort". HM Revenue and Customs later took over the petition, which has been adjourned until 11 September.

There are now only five BAME managers in England's top four divisions; Nuno Espirito Santo (Wolves), Sabri Lamouchi (Nottingham Forest), Darren Moore (Doncaster), Keith Curle (Northampton) and Dino Maamria (Stevenage).

Curle, whose side host the Silkmen on Saturday, told BBC Radio Northampton: "I'm slightly shocked - I thought in his first tenure in management he did a fantastic job, in what a lot of people would say was a thankless task.

"Some of the obstacles that were facing him when he first went in there, to keep them up was a remarkable, fantastic job."
