Lets be fair, he was only watching from the stands yesterday, he wasn't in charge of the team.

That said, he's going to go in there this morning all fired up, ready to tell them shit doesn't stick anymore, buck their ideas up, sort it out, etc. and then realise that this is Southend, they will all flip him the bird and go back to their caravans for a can of Long Life.

This is a match made in heaven - bunch of pikeys being led by a lunatic, this could be the REAL must-see Amazon Prime show :p

Used to like long life.

Knocked out by Dover in the cup, lost all five games since he took over, combined GD of 3-16.

If we're kind and take away the Doncaster game as he was only in the stands and not the dugout, it's still four defeats and a GD of 2-9.

Good start.

Definitely a few Tottenham in the crowd today given some of the chants! Seemed like Ian Drake was constantly apologising for the industrial language being heard?

Not strictly Campbell-related but things at his former club, Macclesfield, are looking increasingly bleak. It's been widely reported about the players not being paid and in the cup yesterday the players went on strike and refused to play until they get paid. Macc ended up still honoring the fixture to try and avoid sanctions by the FA, but had to field a team of youth academy players. As a result, they got absolutely hammered 4-0 at home by Isthmian League side Kingstonian, i.e. a semi-pro/amateur team 3 divisions bellow them.

There's a local businessman who's apparently trying to buy the club (he actually was involved in trying to buy Bury a few months ago as well strangely) but he claims that the current owner is basically ignoring him and not being open to discussions. I have to say it's looking increasingly like the club could go under unless this takeover does happen. We'll see.

I hate the bottom of my feet because it sounds like Sol, I hate the fish that sounds like Sol, I hate the music genre that sounds like Sol. I wanna be ginger so I have no soul.

Fuck Sol
