Always thought that if a manager was to come into Millwall with a "new" philosophy It would be tough.
We aren't your "average club" with "average" fans.. we are a lot different to most clubs who I'd say we was on similar stature with if/when comparing. Teams such as Ballmouth, Brentford and Brighton as just examples, are very mouldable clubs IMO, due to their lack of "history". Whereas Millwall are completely different, I think we're quite rigid when it comes to being modulable.
Managers have a style of play and so do clubs historically. It's like a battle of two minds, with one always coming out on top compared to the other, in this case (& every case), it's the manager who gets sacked 9.99/10.
I think if the clubs vision was to appoint someone with a different vision/style of play, whose young and hungry to prove what they're made of, it should of been Kevin Nugent IMO. Otherwise does he just stay as the U21 manager until someone else gives him a chance to shine?
Both with 0 experience managing a club team, but in terms of knowing the club. KN would of been the obvious option tbh.
Think if we where to turn back the clock, I'd rather of risked hiring KN than JE. Especially with how we're doing now.
IMO Working with youngsters at clubs like Chelski etc compared to Millwall is chalk and cheese. Different expectations, different lifestyles etc. Some of the youths JE worked with at Chelsea, are paid similarly to our top earners in the first team...
Easy saying the above. All perspective and potential BS but thats football.
