HistoriaEriksson in, Campbell signs as Notts County undergo 2009 shake‑up
In the summer of 2009, Notts County made a statement well beyond typical League Two business, appointing Sven‑Göran Eriksson as director of football and sealing a high‑profile deal for former England centre‑back Sol Campbell in August [1]. Campbell’s long‑term contract underlined the scale of the project taking shape at Meadow Lane [1].The off‑field picture evolved rapidly too. By December, Peter Trembling had completed a takeover as the club restructured behind the scenes to match its on‑pitch ambitions [2]. The combination of Eriksson’s gravitas and Campbell’s arrival marked one of the most eye‑catching chapters of the Magpies’ modern era, a moment that still resonates with supporters who lived through that whirlwind summer [1][2].
