Maybe he could have been given an opportunity at Derby or Rangers as per Lampard & Gerrard.
That is all that is been asked with the Rooney rule.
Southend had no wins at all for the season when he took over, so the wins he did get was better than the previous manager, so a little unfair to condemn for that win % rate.
Also done a decent job at Macclesfield season before.
I've heard that he left Macclesfield in part because he wanted to take the team on a pre season training trip to Italy. He was told he couldn't because of the club's financial situation and jacked it in. Don't know if that's true of course, although Macclesfield's financial mismanagement is a matter of record. Oddly enough as is Southend's.
You are correct, both clubs are financially mid managed but that is by the owners not Campbell.
When he took over at Macclesfield they were bottom and certainties for relegation. Players were not getting paid yet he managed to keep them up comfortably.
It’s not what you do it is the way that you do it.

Totally agree. But my point was that, presumably, he was aware of the financial situation when he took the job so leaving over a decision made for financial reasons seems odd.
There are many black ex players who, imo, seem to have the necessary knowledge and skills for top managerial positions but, tbh, I've always thought Campbell is a bit of a "chip on the shoulder" sort of bloke.

Well I’m sure he probably was made certain promises, which were probably broken. Macclesfield are likely to be docked points for financial irregularities apparently.
I don’t know Campbell but I think his saying look at Gerrard & Lampard walk into major jobs no experience yet it took him several years just to get an opportunity further down the league. All had similar England Careers and professional careers so what was the difference?
It’s not what you do it is the way that you do it.
Usually these famous fellas get the chance to manage because of what they bring to the table. Lampard and Gerrard had great relations with their former teams and could use that to bring top drawer kids through. Chuck in the friends they have inside the game and you have a no lose situation.
They also bought great back up teams with them.
Campbell from where I sit is just blaming race because of his own personality shortfalls sadly...

Amazing really.
Our fantastic NHS have done a wonderful job during this pandemic and we are all so grateful to all.
A black criminal gets killed by a cop 4,000 miles away and the PL decide to make their main tribute to BLM over the NHS.
WHAT AN INSULT!.
You really couldn't make it up.
Totally agree that the hero worship of some criminal scumbag is totally out of order. But try telling people whose cancer. or other important treatment has been put off or reduced because of the panic over Coronavirus that the NHS has done a great job.
Not the fault of the frontline staff of course, but the civil servants who run the fucking thing.
I don`t disagree mate,but that's another subject that quite a few of us have debated over the years.
My Mum is in that category atm mate,so quite difficult..I can`t see her at the moment has she is on the high risk list.Was due to see on Mothers Day,but because of the pandemic..Been a long time,but I speak to her nearly every day.
I have arranged to see her next week though.
