Sheffield Wednesday fans are reacting after Sol Campbell emerged as the new second favourite to become the next permanent Owls manager.
Campbell left Macclesfield Town by mutual consent earlier on Thursday and it was later reported that the former Arsenal and England centre-back had not been paid by the League Two side for the past four months (Daily Mirror).
Macclesfield gave Campbell his first job in management in November 2018, when they were propping up the table.
But the 44-year-old led them to a great escape last season and won 50 per cent of his league games this campaign.
Still, you would be hard-pressed to find too many Wednesdayites willing to give Campbell a chance at Hillsborough, where the interim manager Lee Bullen has overseen the Owls’ best start for 23 years.
This is what is being said on Twitter…
Bullen remains the odds-on favourite to succeed Steve Bruce on a permanent basis, with Campbell 5/1 with one bookmaker.
Gary Rowett is next on the list at 14/1.
Campbell recently signed the young Sheffield Wednesday midfielder, Connor Kirby, on loan for Macclesfield.
Wednesday fans – would you want Campbell as manager?
