Campbell Signs For Notts County
- Thread starter Aldo
- Start date
They're going to rip the arse out of that league and then most probably do the same to this one next season !

Yeah with 4,562 rabid fans screaming them all the way to the Premiership. What a joke!

Sol Campbell will only be at Notts County for the money as he is at the arse end of his career.

Why is this "Deary Me"? He's obviously still wants to play football, he certainly will not be getting anything like what he was getting in the Premier League, good for him, hope he enjoys it there, and I imagine we will be playing them next season.

How soon is now?
I can't imagine for 1 second that he needs the money, I expect he's just looking for a hassle free wind down to a pretty decent career

For Sol Campbell that's probably a massive, hard cock

Isn't there a wage cap in League Two?

A four year deal for a 35 year old 
Campbell scored in the Champions League final just three years ago, played for England as recently as 2007 and lifted the FA Cup last May. He’s still only 34 - the same age as Paul Scholes - and was earning £90,000 a week in the Premier League last season.
Yet this week he will be hoping to impress Ian McParland in training (held at Nottingham University - the Pies still don’t have a training ground). And if he does well enough, he might get the chance to partner Mike Edwards in the centre of the County defence at Underhill.
You can only imagine what Edwards would make of his new defensive partner. If he signs a deal worth £40,000 a week, Campbell will earn more in seven days than some of his team-mates do in 365.
Indeed, County’s entire matchday income wouldn’t be enough to pay Campbell’s £160,000 wages every month. (Last home gate (6,500) x average ticket price (£15) = £97,500. 2 x home games per month = £195,000, minus a third for tax = £130,000. Rough figures, but you get the point.) Presumably, Campbell's new team-mates won't be expecting to buy many rounds.
