da poker： After all the waiting and wondering, Steve Lomas has been confirmed as manager of Millwall after a press conference at The Den this week.
da bet esporte： He may already be working against the tide after some fans condemned the club decision to choose Lomas, but there is method in the madness. A young up and coming manager who has done well on a budget.
Exactly what this club needs.
Because it’s not like he’ll have millions to spend here, we have one of the lowest budgets in the league. He got St.Johnstone into Europe, who knows what he can do in SE16.
He may just be paying lip service to the fans to try and appease some hostility, but he seems to be saying all the right things.
The main factors to come out of his press conference is that he will sign players who will give their all and are ready to fight, we were badly missing that in the second half of the season. And that he aims to make the Den a fortress again after a disastrous last year – most teams were able to stroll around for 90 minutes and leave with three points very easily.
Plus, we are already seeing differences between both Lomas and Kenny Jackett in management styles.
He said: “I’m passionate on the sideline. I don’t mind losing but you can lose in the right way, with passion and fight.”
I know most clubs want passion and desire, but at ‘Wall it comes above all else. We don’t care if you lose, just make sure you give your all for us.
Lomas is just as loud in the dugout as he was on the pitch. Whereas Kenny was the quiet and reserved type of manager. Like at Birmingham away last season, we had a goal given twice and disallowed three times, he just stood still like nothing was happening, he was cunning with his abuse, whereas I can imagine Lomas letting rip.
And whereas you wouldn’t know if Jackett was signing a player until he was at the Den being shown in the new kit. Lomas has already publicly talked about transfer targets, mainly free transfer striker Simeon Jackson, saying he is the type of player he would like in his team, but I’m guessing we would be at the back of the line in suitors for him.
And now it seems that a ex Lions legend is set to make a return to the Den, with Neil Harris set to return as a coach. It is unsure whether he will be a coach with the first team, or with the development squad, but this could prove to be a good decision either way.
If Harris is with the development squad, imagine the experience gained by being coached by the all time leading goal scorer. And if with the first team, he could be a vital buffer between the fans and the squad, after all, he knows the club inside and out, he knows what is needed to be a success here.
Welcome to the Lomas era…
