Guest The Special One Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 we want campo as our leader cos hes big and bloody daft hes got a big fat wobbly arse and his body is a farce but we still love campo all the same
Underpants Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Muzzle, YW, Samhater... Trying to turn this thread into another anti-Megson tirade. FFS, can't you go on a mongalong suicide-watch site instead? Simpletons Agreed Mr Darby. Last time I looked at the title of this thread it had Campo's name on it not Megsons, Allardyce or tactics for next season. Drivel and thread hijacking are back
no balls Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Agreed Mr Darby. Last time I looked at the title of this thread it had Campo's name on it not Megsons, Allardyce or tactics for next season. Drivel and thread hijacking are back Tis the traditional summer season sillyness though isn't it? And, as previously pointed out, the hand wringers who appeared to be relishing our relegation are now coming back from out of the woodwork they all dissapeared into after Sunderland. Good luck to Ivan, I wish you wel & will miss seeing him on the odd occasion tottering around Tescos in flip flops and a flasher mac.
Ashey Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Yet something strange also happened: we didn't celebrate with the fans, there was no special dinner like there always is every year, and I would have loved that. It felt as if there was some kind of dis-connection between the club and the supporters: a real shame. Read that BWFC
frank_spencer Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Read that BWFC [/b][/i] but there were those on here saying there shouldn't have been an end of season celebration as survival wasn't anything to be celebrating damned if you do, damned if you don't
Ashey Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 but there were those on here saying there shouldn't have been an end of season celebration as survival wasn't anything to be celebrating damned if you do, damned if you don't I meant in general the "disconnection between the supporters and the club"
Casino Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 campo was giving as evidence of said disconnection 'the lack of a do' 1 - the players are claimed to have kyboshed a do 2 said do is hardly a coming together of average fans and players, anyway not sure why anybody would want to attend and suck up to the players its exactly the type of corporate shite continually derided on here no great loss imo
Ani Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I applaud the sentiment of Ivans note but I do think he is also bit of drama queen.
jules_darby Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I applaud the sentiment of Ivans note but I do think he is also bit of drama queen. I agree with Ani and I'd go further and say that actions speak louder than words; Ivan wasn't exactly at one with the fans towards the end of the season when after losing games, we'd go home gutted, stewing and kicking the cat and he'd be larging it in the bars/clubs of Manchester on a Saturday night. I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to do such, but it's then a bit rich to come out with all this stuff. Bye-bye Ivan, thank you for moments of quality and comedy.
Traf Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Bye-bye Ivan, thank you for moments of quality and comedy. In equal measures, I'd say!
bwfczoe Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Someone please pass the tissues! Top bloke and I wish him all the very best in whatever he does in the future Obviously loved the club and the fans to write such a heartfelt letter as that Thank you Campo and good luck

Totty Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Campo has replied with another open letter in response to all the messages he recieved after the original! someone emailed it me but im guessing its on that link from page 1?
Athywhite_Mike Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Dear Bolton fans and friends, I would just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who has taken the time and trouble to contact me, via Guillem's website, with your messages of support over the last couple of months. Nothing could have prepared me for the huge number of emails that Guillem has passed on to me, and when he told me that he had some messages from the fans for me to read, I had no idea that there would be so many. I hope you will all forgive me for responding in an open letter, I would love to reply to each and every one of you, but there are so many that it would be impossible. It is because of all your kind words that I am writing this letter in much better spirits than the last time Guillem published a letter from me on the site. Back then I was still very upset at the way that I had left Bolton Wanderers without ever having been given the opportunity to say goodbye to the fans. It would have been wonderful to have pulled on that white shirt one more time in order to thank the fans for all of the terrific memories that you have given me and the wonderful times that we have shared. As I said in my last letter, I always imagined that I would have the opportunity to say goodbye in person, in front of the supporters, in a packed stadium. I shall always cherish the many times that the Reebok chanted my name and it would have been beautiful to hear it for just one last time. However, along with so many great memories of my time at Bolton, I now have your wonderful messages of support to take with me wherever I go. I have to admit that one of the reasons it has taken me a while to respond is because it has taken me a very long time to read through them all. I've only been able to read a few at a time because, if I'm honest, reading them has been very emotional for me. I always hoped that I could return to Bolton one day and be considered as one of your own, and now, thanks to all of your letters, I know that I will always be a part of the Bolton family. I now know that I will always be welcome and I feel so honoured that you all remember me with such warmth. I would love to be able to reply to each and every one of you: to those of you who reminded me of so many wonderful moments - like my debut at Old Trafford, my first goal against Liverpool and the cup final; to those of you who remembered singing Happy Birthday to me; to the guys who told me about the photographs and autographs that they cherish; to all of you who have invited me around for a cup of tea; to all of you with your Ivan Campo wigs; to those who posted messages of support in the forums - The Wanderer and Bolton Banter . To all of you: Thank you! It would have been perfect to have said goodbye in person - and who knows, Guillem says there may be something in the pipeline - but at least now I have all of your words to take with me on my journey forward. And now that is what we all must do: look forward. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that all of you can look forward to some wonderful times supporting the club. I shall be watching as well, cheering you on and dreaming of some great times ahead for Bolton. I was very upset at the way that I left the club, but I am not bitter, and I wish everyone associated with Bolton Wanderers football club all the very best of luck for the future. Most importantly, I sincerely hope that you, the fans and people of Bolton - a place that I shall always think of as home - enjoy all of the success and happiness that you, some of the best fans in the world and such wonderful people, so very much deserve. I consider myself privileged to have had the opportunity to have represented you and - as I can see from your letters - to have helped bring as much joy to you as you have given to me. As I said in my last letter, I am missing you all and I hope very much to return one day, but until we next meet again, thank you Bolton. Thank you. Ivan Campo
frank_spencer Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 to those who posted messages of support in the forums - The Wanderer and Bolton Banter OI curly top what about us!??!?!? top man non the less
The True Marple White Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Another quality letter from Ivan Campo!! an absolute gent! Lets hope the club see fit and get him in to say goodbye!
Casino Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 all he has to do is get his hand in his pocket and buy himself a flight over for the stoke game tis easy if he means what hes 'saying'
frank_spencer Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 all he has to do is get his hand in his pocket and buy himself a flight over for the stoke game tis easy if he means what hes 'saying' flight over and get himself in Scotts before the match
burndenpaddock Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Legend..he should do a 'Mellberg' and buy everyone who's written to him a Wanderers Campo shirt and wig
YATESY Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Let us hope the club give advance notice of Ivan Campo's return - if it does happen ofcourse! It will be just like the club to wheel him out at half-time to do the Golden Gamble draw in a game against Fulham with most fans under the stand having a half time pint!
jules_darby Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 If stories of him being a bad influence in the dressing room under Megson's reign are true, then I wouldn't have thought he'd be invited back. And rightly so. If they're bollocks, then fair enough
wayne cramp Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 OOH I CAN PICTURE HIM NOW STOOD OUTSIDE SCOTTS (OR WHATEVER ITS CALLED) ON 16TH AUGUST , PINT IN HAND CHANTING DELILAH IS A SL@G AS A BUNCH OF OVER EXCITED OLD SKOOL NAUGHTY FORTYS WALK BY !!
no balls Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 flight over and get himself in Scotts before the match Well if he's matey with them from the "other side" as it appears from his letter, then he'll probably in that gay bar, the Beehive.
YATESY Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 For all the negatives that get thrown at Megson - there hasn't exactly been a rush of clubs to sign the players he released at the end of last season. Maybe, just maybe, Megson actually knows a bit about this management lark.
