I think it will be good for him, no will be expecting big things of him. plus i hated Wise more than i actually hated Millwall

I don't have an axe to grind with Millwall, I'm just surprised Steve has put himself forward again after his previous management experiences. As someone said "it's not how many times you get knocked down..."

Perhaps he's better off as a commentator. :roll:

IMO he will be a good manager, he will get the team spirit like we had under MON.

Will he get the fans spirit though? :smt062 :smt021 :smt070 :smt075 :smt074

Claridge will become an even bigger legend than he already is. He will screw about with tactics and Millwall will end up being relegated at the end of the season. :-D

Surprising decision by Millwall if it turns out to be true. Anyone who watched that documentary about him when he was manager of Weymouth would know never to employ him as a manager!

be prepared to be surprised then........

Millwall have appointed former striker Steve Claridge as the club's new manager.

The 39-year-old takes charge of the Championship club following the departure of player-manager Dennis Wise and his assistant Ray Wilkins at the end of the season.

Lions chairman Jeff Burnige was keen for the South East London club to have a fresh start, with Millwall considering various available candidates for the post.

Former Ipswich Town and Derby County boss George Burley turned down the opportunity to become Wise's successor while former Cardiff City manager Lennie Lawrence was also mentioned with the role.

In the end, The Lions have turned to a familiar face in Claridge, whose last managerial post was with non-league Weymouth with his last league manager's role being a brief stint at Portsmouth in season 2000/01.

Last season, Claridge finished the campaign with brief playing spells at three clubs in Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers.

He takes over a youthful Millwall squad ahead of the new Championship campaign, as The Lions aim to win promotion after finishing tenth in the table last season.

good luck super steve (in moderation )
