I'm not saying Tricky was better than Jooodas just that we have done OK with inexperienced managers in the past. I also don't think we are being linked with any managers with Joooodas's profile.

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 There’s some real disrespectful views on here. So disrespectful that it does actually make you think that race is an issue for some. He won loads of England caps. Was a key part of ‘The Invincibles’ captained two of the biggest clubs in England. Has won loads of trophies. His career was certainly comparable with the likes of Gerrard and Lampard. He then took on a challenge that most players of such pedigree wouldn’t even contemplate. He took on the 92nd ranked club in the FL and kept them up against all the odds. Admittedly after just two matches, but he leaves them stabilised and 8th in League Two. For those that say we should take a punt on somebody, there’d be far worse gambles. And he certainly has a far superior CV to Bullen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Yeah that's why Hughton was pretty much everyone's no.1 choice. Coz we're a massive racists. Edited August 15, 2019 by The Batman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming fake racism to get something or to use as an excuse is unacceptable. It’s not a card to be played when you don’t get your way. It also makes a mock of racism itself.

camffiti Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Maybe Campbell was our mandatory BAME interview and impressed? I can't see what else he's done to deserve the job though We have a a lot positives we just need to continue, with a few tweaks. So unless Chansiri can pull off a top quality appointment, I'd prefer we stick with the boot room (Bully) ...

DuncOwl Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Let's face it... we will never be happy. I would be a lot happier with Sol than I would with Bullen. Bullen will not take us up, and moreover, doesn't even want the job, yet all of a sudden we're clamouring for him. There literally is nobody around that would satisfy some of our fans.

Bluesteel Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) He could have the makings of a good manager. But Paul Ince did similarly at Macclesfield. It would be high profile and an interesting appointment. But given some of the solid candidates available, if we are discounting experienced coaches with a lot to prove such as Rowett I don’t know why Campbell trumps that kind of candidate yet other than being a big name. The window is closed so he’s not going to get us a load of loan players like Lampard at derby either. The main worry is he’s a bit eccentric and our chairman seems to have a touch of that too so not necessarily a good combo!

The Wall Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Mycroft said: Where did you learn that he's arrogant and would drop us like a stone? Not even got the job and you have his exit interview already and waiting. That's the impression I get from listening to him speak in the media over the years. When taking the Macclesfield job, he seemed incredulous that he had to stoop to such a level. Now he's jumped ship when things are getting a bit tricky down there. I don't mind a bit of arrogance, but the likes of Mourinho (first time round) do it with a bit of charm and humour, whereas Sol seems to take himself very seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Thomas Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I feel really sorry for Campbell. He played at the very top, was arguably one of England’s best ever defenders and unlike many of his peers who wander into high profile jobs (like Lampard recently) he’s gone the long way round and proven himself in the most difficult possible scenario, a club on the brink of extinction and dropping out of the Football League. He deserves a chance at a big club, regardless of what people May think of his often eccentric personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So disrespectful that it does actually make you think that race is an issue for some. The only person who's bothered about Sol Campbell's race, is Sol Campbell. As has been stated, people on here pretty much unanimously wanted Chris Hughton, and race never entered the discussion. Even through Jos' disastrous reign, I don't remember people talking about his race. You can dislike a black guy without being racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
