Sol Campbell had a 5 year £40k a week contract at Notts County and has been in the game long enough to understand that FA rules mean that would have to be honoured come what may once signed. You could be charitable and suggest Campbell was being honest but you would have to ignore the numerious examples in his past of him “stropping”. Why he would be the first english professional footballer to care about sustainability i know not! The truth is less palitable, despite no other club coming close to offering the 34 year old a contract he believes he is too good for L2 and isn’t prepared to put in the effort required for Notts County to achieve. By accident rather than design, Sol Campbell just retired from the professional game.
