An honest question:
Millwall seems to be perpetually cemented in the 9-15 spots of Championship.
Is it their ownership, management, or player quality…or all of the above?
Not utter shit…but no progression either.
It’s probably about their level. London club, but well down the pecking order compared to other London clubs so will rarely have any genuine talent come through their youth academy. Most will likely be good Championship or League 1 level players as the better talent will naturally end up at the other London clubs.
Also will struggle to attract players due to South Bermondsey and Deptford not being the greatest area in London to live in.

Thing is it doesn’t much matter where you work in London, not sure where Millwall train but it’s bound to be the south east area.
Just had a look and 3 years back they were looking to move to Kent, seems they are slowly building to try and make a push there was a serious chance of a playoff spot the past two seasons.

That has been something they were toying with about 6-7 years ago when a new tower block got built new The Den and residents started making noise complaints about the crowd and the club feared that the local council would try to push them out in favour of new residents.
There was also talk at some point about building a new training center outside of London, similar to Chelsea having their training center in Cobham in Surrey
Nah I meant the training centre it was muted 3 years ago in Kent.

I see Plymouth appointed a former Man Utd player and expected the different results.
It’s a shame as they did used to appoint promising managers but seem to be going for names and will probably drop another division.
