Nicho Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I saw an interview with him earlier talking about Chris Powell. How they shouldnt have sacked him as he is a promising black manager. Positive discrimination at its best, just because he is black doesnt mean he should be given more time if he is doing a shit job. Book promotion or not Campbell is coming across like a right bellend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted March 12, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2014 I would live to know how Campbell explains the FA's punishment of Terry despite the judgement of a court given that they are in his view institutionally racist themselves. The man has absolutely no credibility and has made a complete arse of himself. Just perhaps Sol the lack of intelligence and utter arrogance you are currently demonstrating is one of the reasons several England managers didn't fancy you as skipper beyond the odd game.

jimmygreaves Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This entire episode doesn't really showcase the actions of somebody of "captain material" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Given that Campbell had a breakdown and ran off to Belgium, then without wishing to make light of mental illness, and I get fairly hefty bouts of depression myself, that doesn't indicate the mindset for an England Captain. And as our estimed railwayman earlier said, 10 years ago, Bosmans, and the idea of players refusing new contracts but refusing to be sold on, to ensure a big signing on fee and rob the club of a transfer fee, was a big no no. To go to your rivals is worse. Just think, if Barry had literally walked for nothing, to the noses, after refusing big contracts for 18 months, think how much he'd still be reviled today. And with respect, the noses are never going to be as big an issue to AVFC as Spurzzz are to Arsenal. And this was 5+ years on, when we'd had more time to get used to a Bosman. To be honest, a great player, but a total hairy, crusty ballbag of a professional, from a fans point of view. It may not matter when your negotiating for yourself, but when your "England Captain" thats not baggage you can afford to have. As well as being a bit mental.

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted March 12, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 Given that presumably Sol Campbell thinks Sven didn't pick him for captain because of his colour, does anyone else think it odd he signed for him for Notts County... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Great point, Trent. His argument is getting pulled apart so much, that I hope he's sitting at home in embarrassment with a face more crimson than the colour of blood that was dripping from England Captain Paul Ince's head against Italy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I read somewhere that there is pressure on Cameron to have an enquiry into Campbells comments ! Guy makes up bollocks to sell book, public spends millions on enquiry. Says it all about our crazy society. ---- Man reads throw away comment on government wasting money on internet. Takes it as gospel and vents his anger on a forum in the depths of no where. Says it all about our crazy society. --- And rinse and repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't know why it is being discussed so much. The guy was trying to drum up publicity for his new book and it has worked a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradd92 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Nice to see he's at it again about Roy Keane this time. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sol-campbell-says-fa-turned-3923293 "Roy Keane is a fantastic, inspirational player. He has been controversial, yes. But he gets a job. And that’s fine because because he did superbly to get Sunderland into the Premier League. He was a fantastic player. “But if he was black and he was like that, I’m telling you now I don’t think he would have got a job.” Edited July 28, 2014 by Bradd92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How has he got the job? What has he done other than have a fantastic career. What has he done coaching wise? He was given that job without experience campbell is right, gary neville got the job because not only has he shown on tv how insightful and respected he is but most importantly he is already qualified, hes got his UEFA coaching badges he's white the mans a clown, keep playing that broken record sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
