This is fantastic news after the terrible tragedy of his father passing away. His statement was exactly what any Millwall fan wanted to hear. He is not John, he is much younger and less experienced, but make no mistake, this is the best possible outcome. He will have my total support.

As everyone has said great news.Hopefully another safe pair of hands, nice statement from JB Mk2 and the family.
Brizzle will be very emotional, and in my eyes the result will be of little significance.
A chance to pay our respects en masse paramount.
A win would be a bonus.

Think we have another man of honor ( Installed by his Dad) who will keep us safe.
A statement on behalf of the Berylson family from Millwall's new chairman
The Official Website of Millwall FCwww.millwallfc.co.uk
No false promises, just will and determination, which is all i ever want from my team.
WE ARE MILLWALL , WE ARE FAMILY
How the spotters must envy us

When I was reading that statement, I too shed a tear even though I am in work.
So proud of the Berylson family and we couldn't have had a more respectable man at the helm than JB.
The term "Great" is often used unnecessarily these days, but John was and still is a great man and the greatest chairman we have had at Millwall.
Although it is a sad time at the club at the moment, it fills me with a bit of pride at the tributes on here and by the players to John.
Now James steps into his shoes and will take The Lions on from here.
Good Luck to him. I am sure he will make his family proud.

I'm sure he will step in his dad's shoes with pride and passion, well done James
A chip off the old block! I wasn't aware that James has been on the board for the last ten year, very encouraging and welcome news indeed. I wish him all the very best.
We are family we are Millwall
He gets us
We fear no foe

If James is true to his words we’ll have nothing to worry about

We’re all behind you, JB. If you’re half the man your Dad was, you’ll do us proud.

Might be that I want to see it this way but I think he is being sincere in his statement and not just saying what he thinks we want to hear.
I can't think of any reason why we wouldn't want the new JB to still be our Chairman when he is 70.

Obviously very sad circumstances in which to take over, but good luck to James (and us)
“John Berylson, our Chairman, had dreams for this club. He had a vision and a plan, and I am fiercely determined and passionate about continuing his work and building on this foundation.” I’m wondering what exactly the vision and plan are? It’s not on the website like you see with private and public companies.
Whatever vision and plan it was is working and I,m sure JB junior knows what to do to get to the next stage.
JB always stated that it was a long term plan (and rightly so) so don't expect miracles overnight

We know about the training ground and we have seen how the regen might look so I assume it is those projects he is talking about whilst keeping the club moving in the same direction.
Yes they are projects but to what end? Our vision should be a statement that succinctly expresses the club’s purpose by defining its primary long-term goals (no pun intended).
For example, this is Microsoft’s
“to help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential.”
