Paul David Simpson (born 26 July 1966) is an English football manager. He is currently assistant coach with Newcastle United under Steve McClaren effectively 3 July 2015. His son Jake Simpson is also a professional footballer.
Playing career
Manchester City
Simpson began his playing career as a schoolboy at Manchester City in the early 1980s. He made his senior debut aged 16, on 2 October 1982 in a 3–2 win against Coventry City. However, after the club were relegated and new manager Billy McNeill arrived, Simpson, along with John Beresford, was briefly loaned out to Irish club Finn Harps to gain more experience . He scored 3 goals in 9 total appearances at Finn Park.
He returned during the final stages of 1984–85 campaign and enjoyed a run of games as he scored 6 times in just 10 appearances as City won promotion from the Second Division. He was a regular member of the first team in the 1985-86 season and scored nine First Division goals as City survived their first season back in the top flight, although they were relegated a year later.
Paul Simpson is a musician, vocalist, lyricist and writer from Liverpool, England. His vocal and lyrical styles have been described as "haunting" and "doomed romantic", respectively. Musically, his contributions have crossed the genres of synthpop, post-punk, neo-psychedelia, new wave and ambient.
Early career
His music career began in the late 1970s, commencing with the bedsit collaboration with Julian Cope, Ian McCulloch and others under the name 'A Shallow Madness'. This later transformed into the Cope-lead Teardrop Explodes, while McCulloch went on to form Echo & the Bunnymen. Around this time, Simpson shared a flat with Bunnymen drummer Pete de Freitas.
He left the Teardrops in 1979 to form his own band The Wild Swans in 1980. Between the two incarnations of the band, he was also co-founder of the duo Care with Ian Broudie, later of the Lightning Seeds.
Care broke up around 1984 and after a while, he and a Mark II version of The Wild Swans re-formed to record 1988's Bringing Home The Ashes and 1989's Space Flower.
"He has worked hard but there are other players above him in the pecking order."
"We are not in a position where we have to let players go and we have let Livingston know that."
"We are really pleased with the players we have got in the squad and with just a couple more additions we feel we can keep on going upwards."
"He's a pretty boy. The guy is like the Puff Daddy of the gym."
"He is a player with genuine pace, and can also use the ball. We think this will be a good move for both him and us - we're delighted to take him on board."
"The horror stories we have heard about the Glazers certainly haven't come to fruition,"
"Competing at this level is an honour. The skills we practice for these events are those we use in daily emergency responses."
"Football management is a tough job and I was fortunate that they did not panic when we got relegated and look to blame me. They thought we were doing the right things,"
"We have just tinkered and added to it as we have gone along. And we are still looking to improve the squad all the time,"
"I only hit him twice. The rest has been done by him falling around the cell."
Paul Simpson (Wild Swans) : The John Robb interview
Paul Simpson was the leader of Liverpool post-punk band Wild Swans and an integral part of the Liverpool post-punk scene, which he brilliantly details in his new memoirs 'Revolutionary Spirit: A Post-Punk Exorcism: The Teardrop Explodes, Care, The Wild Swans, And Beyond'. The book is a deep dive into that fascinating scene and great stories about the key characters in the Bunnymen, Teardrop, Pete Burns and that colourful cast of characters, plus a fleeting appearance from Courtney Love all detailed in this great interview.
