Campbell faces new release row from Notts County

Sol Campbell must accept a gagging order to gain a final release from Notts County, it has been revealed.

The Daily Express says Campbell has been told he must agree to a five-year “gagging order” by Notts County before they let him continue his career.

County are refusing to release Campbell’s registration and he is calling on players’ union chief Gordon Taylor to intervene on his behalf.

Campbell wants to go public on certain aspects of his time at County, which ended after only one game – a defeat at Morecambe. County want him to keep quiet before a “statement of departure” is agreed.

Taylor said: “Clearly, Sol needs to express the real reasons behind his departure, and will not agree to a gagging order. Instead, we are trying to agree a form of words, a statement both sides are prepared to accept.”

Campbell wants to shut up and think himself extremely lucky to have escaped from his contract in the 1st place.

It must have been a real shock leaving his ivory tower. Well, welcome to the real world Mr Campbell.

It's obvious he went for the money. He thought he could go to Notts, swan away the next 5 years as the superstar saving the "little" club. And earn a cool £10m in the process. When it came down to real life, he wasn't prepared to put the work in. And didn't like being kicked or roughed up in a league where players aren't so well protected by referees etc.

We are not interested in his excuses. He had a contract and he renaged. It speaks for itself and Notts County are much better off without him. So just STFU.
