Got to admit he backed up at least some of his talk last season.

Deserves a chance at a bigger club.
He does, but not yet at the Premier League club he is undoubtedly soon to tell us all he deserves.

He has done a great job there in some difficult circumstances
Players not being paid for periods, himself not being paid for periods etc
Certainly backed up his talk and should hopefully get a chance at a bigger club

Why isn’t he liked ?
Arrogant beyond belief?
Spinning tottenham a yarn then joining arsenal?
Blaming racism for everything, like not captaining England etc.


He did a nice short fire job keeping them up, but it's no surprise to see him now walk out.
He's not a guy you'd see sticking a job out.

Whilst I don't think he is the most likeable person, the bolded part doesn't seem to have any basis. I mean what exactly is that based on?

The situation at the club, it's no surprise he has had to leave with players having to take legal action just to get paid

Well at least he has some experience under his belt and boosted his reputation. Probably be able to get a better job now.

I'm not his fan but he's an ex pro who played at the highest level and was one of the best defenders around during his peak. I'm pretty sure he knows about the value of not quitting and sticking a job out

These black folk just can't do commitment.

If you knew anything about the situation at Macc Town and how poorly run they are, then Campbell deserves credit for staying as long as he has done.

Did a fantastic job whilst there. If the club have got financial problems or weren't willing to back Campbell in the market, then I don't blame him leaving.

Hopefully he goes on to bigger and better things!

I know everyone's going to jump on you but you clearly have no idea what's been going on at that club. Also its not like he played for many clubs.

Did a good job and definitely deserves a chance at a decent club lower level club to see if he can build on that.

He only quit so he can start moaning about the lack of black managers in the game and how no one will give him a job.

A lot of the things he's said and expressed. From just nonsense points of view to blowing his own trumpet to a silly extent.
Ah ok I don’t use twitter or any of those media platforms so genuinely didn’t know.

:lol::lol: I’m not English but I take it the Tory’s aren’t liked.
Largest (by the number of votes in last few general elections) and oldest party in the UK.

But they're just cnuts you know.

They mainly get in power by saying if they don't get in power, Labour will get in power.

What an atrocious post. As has been repeated by other posters here, the situation at his former club was very complicated and easy to understand why both parties parted ways. This is for sensible discussion. Join in or don't ruin the thread.

He's had how many clubs in his career? How long did he stay at those clubs? Another clueless post.

As opposed to Labour who say that if they don't get in power, Tories will get in power. Politics, man.

The irony in your username. I wonder what the real Andy Cole thinks about your comments in here.
You know, the same Andy Cole who said there was still a glass ceiling regarding black players and management (youre interpretation, moaning about the lack of black managers). He shared and stated the same views as Sol. And now youre on here bashing Sol for those same views.

Labour actually have policies though.

Labour: If we get in power, we're going to do this!
Tories: If Labour get into power, they're going to do that!

Wait, what forum is this.

Err. Something. Champions League final goal scorer. Scorer of two of Englands most important disallowed goals.

You don't have to share the opinions of your favourite football players, you know that right?

What's it based on?

Walking out at half time of a game.
Walking out on Notts County after a few dayss?
Not sticking to anything for any length of time since 2009?
Dabbling, and then walking out on politics?

Any more?

Talk to me about his career 2009 onwards?
