That is going to be a fucking car crash. I cant wait to see it all unfold.
Hes an unbalanced delusional fuckwit.

*grabs popcorn*
 
New manager of Macclesfield. Deranged faux intelligencia Sol Campbell.

The man who has for years been telling us he isnt a manager because hes black. Not because hes a weird cunt who no one would want to work with/for EVER.

I cannot WAIT
 
"You've got an international footballer who has been one of the best footballers in the world coming to your club, I think there's a nice mutual balance there."


What does that even mean!?
 
I'm with Oncy on this. Campbell strikes me as (narcissistically) delusional and somewhat borderline.

Poor Macclesfield, this is only going one way.
 
He's been so determined to make it as a manager he's gone to LA in the hope of making it as an actor, campaigned to be Tory Mayor of London, tried to be selected as a Tory MP and also trained as a chef. I'm sure he's now ready to grasp this chance to show such single-mindedness was worth it.
 
No surprise to see the Guardian pointing out why they think he couldn't get a job :

Because while Ryan Giggs, Joey Barton, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have walked into jobs of great standing, real potential or both during the past 11 months, Campbell has had to deal with the frustration of being turned down by the likes of Oxford United, Grimsby and Oldham despite having at least as strong credentials as his aforementioned contemporaries.

That is certainly the case in relation to Barton, who was appointed manager of League One Fleetwood Town in April despite serving a 13-month ban from football for betting offences. The former midfielder started work the day after the ban ended and has led Fleetwood to a respectable 13th place, but that does not take away from the sense that when it comes to managerial opportunities in this country it all too often comes down to who you know and what you look like.

Cue a rolling of eyes and shouts of ‘race card’ in some quarters but it requires only a glance at the number of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) managers working across this country’s 92 professional clubs to see there is a problem. Before Tuesday the number stood at seven – Chris Hughton at Brighton, Nuno Espírito Santo at Wolves, Darren Moore at West Brom, Jos Luhukay at Sheffield Wednesday, Chris Powell at Southend United, Dino Maamria at Stevenage Town and Keith Curle at Northampton Town – and while Campbell’s appointment is encouraging in that regard, the fact it took this long is damning.

After all, this is a man who, as well as being one of the finest players of his generation, under one of the most innovative and successful managers of the modern era in Arsène Wenger, has a Uefa pro licence and international coaching experience, having been part of Trinidad & Tobago’s backroom staff during their attempt to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Yet he still could not get hired during an era when a lack of experience and even a ban from the Football Association were clearly no barriers to doing so. As the Independent’s chief sports writer, Jonathan Liew, wrote in a recent column on the lack of BAME representation in English football, “you don’t need to play the race card if you’re already winning the game”.

That Macclesfield is one of the best clubs in the world?
 
Btw, who is the most successful black manager in England?
Gullit?
Hughton?
Tigana?
 
Give it 10 years and he'll be manager of West Brom when they are in League one. Or Bolton.
 
He's essentially told the Macclesfield fans to shut the fuck up and not mention that he's mental, has no experience and is using them as a test for himself, due to the fact that he was an international and one of the best defenders in the galaxy.
 
Peter Crouch said that when Sol was at Portsmouth he insisted on having a two hour massage before training each day, commandeering both club masseurs, one for each leg. If any other player protested, he'd just say, 'When you've won as many international caps as me, try again'. Needless to say, none of his teammates could stand him. What larks are ahead.
 
when a white guy who speaks up, in similar way to sol, he is called a winner (gerrard / lampard). When a black guy does its arrogance.
 
Is he now a manager coz he's black? I'm confused.. did he scrape it into the small percentage section? He'll probably fail and blame that on being black too.
 
He appears to be delusional.

But I guess that can only be proven in time. I'm intrigued to see how good/bad he is. I don't mind the big talk, but now you gotta back it up Sol.
