Sol Campbell leaves Southend

[upthemaggies]

Southend looked a lost cause before he went there and it doesn't alter the fact he worked a minor miracle at Macc. He's got character and is prepared to put the work in, Deserves another chance somewhere if he's still up for it.

Agree with this completely. He could quite easily go and get a job managing an academy side, yet has taken on tough tasks at both of the of clubs he has managed.

Totally agree, he's been in a no win situation both times. Both clubs were and still are in dire straits.

Absolutely. Sol obviously made an impact at Macclesfield and saved them from relegation. Southend whilst a league higher were a sinking ship.

I would like to see him have a go at a more stable League Two club that has aspirations of getting promoted to League One. A club like an Exeter who needs that bit extra special push and quality.

What have Exeter ever done to upset you?

Seriously though I think Sol could be a big asset to the right club but I don't see him as level headed enough to be the number 1 based on some of the guff he's come out with in the past. I hope he sees sense and puts his ego to one side and takes a supporting role that will help him develop.

It's not just him though, we have had many top class black players but how many have been given a chance to manage?
I know that being a top player doesn't make you a top manager but surely you would think a few could do a good job if given the chance.
