'He understands the club'

We asked Millwall fans for their views on the news boss Alex Neil has signed a new contract.

He led the Lions to an eighth-placed finish in the Championship last season and seems have made quite an impression at The Den.

Here are some of the thoughts of Millwall supporters...

Brian - I think it is great news that Neil has signed a new deal. He has proved in a short period of time that he has all the attributes necessary to enable Millwall to realise their ambitions for next season and beyond. As a lifelong supporter and season ticket holder, I am really excited for the future.

Vinny - Fantastic news. We've seen real progress and some excellent football under Neil.

Louis - We were looking so rough towards the end of the year and then we brought Alex Neil in and he's done fantastic work. We weren't starting [Mihailo] Ivanovic enough and, to be honest, I'm not sure Alex started him enough either, but I'm looking forward to a successful season and I think he could get us to the play-offs this year.

Stuart - Good news. Has been magnificent since he came in. Importantly, he understands the club and the fans. Good luck for next season AN.

Deano - This is absolutely great news. We are progressing as a club from where we were a long time ago, and it's so great to have Neil signing an extended contract. He is the ideal manager for this club. He understands where we're going and what we want as a club.

Tony - He did a good job and needs a chance to build his own team. Much better than [Joe] Edwards and an improvement on Neil Harris' second stint.

Stephen - I think it's a great signing. He ran out of time last season and with the youngsters he has at his disposal I'm sure he will get it right.

Dean - Absolutely fantastic news. Alex has hit the ground running. Hopefully, we can have a good transfer window and kick on next season. Can't wait.

Adam - Great news. I don't think I've looked forward to a coming season as much as this in years.
