Agreed, I am sure he had a head full of things he wanted to say and knew most of them were best left unsaid or very simply and mildly expressed. And he may well have been a tad emotional.A fairly uninteresting slip of the tongue.
At least he didn't say Southport. Better to be mistaken for a Premiership side.
I hold no brief for Kevin Bond, but imagine the furore if he had said it, we would never have heard the last of it.SUFC is just a time waster to give him something to do when he’s not spending ‘his’ millions, trying to wind up Macclesfield or trying to become Mayor of London.
Easy come, easy go.
If you asked him whether he meant Southend and not Southampton, no doubt his reply would be ‘I’ve no idea where they are. This is being handled above me and it’s not my responsibility.’
I do feel a bit for Campbell as a human being, especially the way Spurs fans have treated him over the years. It was 2001, yet he still gets called “Judas”... ridiculous. Ok he’s certainly a character.. he has an awful win percentage.. yes he’s very unlikely to save us from relegation, but if he fails here you’ve got to think his job options in future will be limited. So I think he’d love to turn things round. I think he probably expected to. Seems if he doesn’t, he can now go the “Ron lied to me and gave me no players” route.
It was only a matter of time before people started the “Campbell out” stuff. Just shows that football is a results game and some fans look only at results/win percentage and don’t take any other factors into account. Campbell will know this .. it’s football.
He was one!! In all seriousness, the abuse Campbell has got over the years is another level.Barry Fry still gets called Judas here ....
Southampton? If only...
Reckon we are more of a Littlehampton !
