This is a tremendous achievement for the Silkmen, who were seven points adrift of safety when Campbell was appointed manager in November.It’s also a tremendous feat for the former Arsenal and England defender on his first managerial post.He was linked to Grimsby and Oxford United in previous years but failed to land the jobs, however, this is now a vindication over any Campbell doubters.Speaking to talkSPORT’s Dom McGuinness after Macclesfield’s survival was confirmed, Campbell said: Im very pleased with myself because I dont think anyone wanted to take the job!2

The former Arsenal man struggled to get a managerial post before joining Macclesfield

I just felt I didnt want to be hanging around on the sidelines for the next six months so I took it and put everything into it – my heart, my soul, my spirit, everything and I committed to it.Thats what youve got to do in football – commit. Completely commit to the cause and see where you end up.I dont think its glamorous! Its a nice area to live in but I dont think its glamorous!I might have got some more grey hairs but I love everything about football. It keeps me alive and on my toes. I dont want to be on my toes all the time but it keeps me alive!”There is a lot of work for Macclesfield to do following their narrow escape and Campbell insisted the club needs to spend their transfer budget wisely this summer. Asked about what assurances there are at the club, Campbell said: None! I just have to make do! Youve got to make do.The thing is every year is a new budget and as long as the budget is spent in the correct way, then I think well be ok. Thats the thing really.I dont know what happened last year with the budget but theres a certain amount of money that comes into it and it just has to be apportioned in the correct way and utilised in the right way and spent accordingly really.Every season theres a new budget so I hope that I can look into that and go from there. It comes down to budget really.If youve got a healthy budget and divvied out in the right areas ten thats key.”
