'New deal for Neil is fully deserved'

The news that Alex Neil has signed a new contract with Millwall is a very welcome development.

The new deal is, of course, totally deserved.

When Neil arrived at John Berylson Way at the turn of the year, the Lions were looking over their shoulders, trying to fend off the drop zone.

So his achievement in getting us so close to play-off football, especially with the injury list that we were carrying, AND to do it playing good, committed and attack-minded football was little short of magnificent.

Millwall has historically performed well under Scottish managers, and Lions fans have certainly warmed to Neil's honest and plain-speaking style.

A big summer of squad development lies ahead, but today's cementing of the head coach position is a major step forward for the forthcoming 2025-26 season.

Some of us can't wait for it to start.
