You can’t blame him considering he spent the three years with Middlesbrough between 2020 and 2023 before joining Millwall only in January.

In 97 appearances for the Brough, he scored 21 goals and 7 assists.

Millwall announce shock death of “beloved owner and chairman” after sudden “accident”

Magnus Eriksen — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 08:57:14 +0000

Millwall have announced the sudden passing of their chairman and owner John Berylson.

The Championship club have released a statement on the sad an unexpected news, though they didn’t provide much in the way of detail over his death, stating simply that it was an “accident”.

Their statement read: “It is with a collective broken heart and the deepest of regret that we announce the passing of our beloved owner and chairman, John Berylson.

“John’s sudden and tragic passing will unquestionably impact all those who were fortunate to have known him. He was a truly great man, incredibly devoted to his family, and a person of such remarkable generosity, warmth, and kindness.

21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder set to leave the club in summer

Jason Pettigrove — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 15:55:38 +0000

Roy Hodgson has done an incredible jabot Crystal Palace this season, and the nine points from nine that he has achieved has given the club more than enough hope that they’ll still be a Premier League outfit next season.

It had been looking dicey at one point as Patrick Vieira hadn’t been able to muster a single win after the turn of the year, per WhoScored.

Once salvation is confirmed, which the Eagles will surely hope is sooner rather than later, then the south London club can set about restructuring their playing staff ready for the kick off of the 2023/24 campaign.

It seems that one youngster who won’t form part of any new manager’s plans, assuming Hodgson doesn’t stay on beyond this season, is 21-year-old Killian Phillips.

The youngster has been on loan at Shrewsbury where Football Insider note that he has impressed and, further, that both Millwall and Luton Town are very interested in acquiring his services.

The Selhurst Park outfit can ill afford to endure another season like the current campaign, and to that end, fringe players are unlikely to get a look in unless they’re at the top of their game and can demonstrate they’re worth a shot in the first team ahead of established professionals.

It therefore benefits players like Phillips, at this stage, to seek his fortune and fame elsewhere as it gives him a chance to show off his envious skill set each week rather than being sat on the bench and see his confidence dip.

That does neither player nor club any favours whatsoever.

Leeds United midfielder’s agent wants move for player this summer

Luka Foley — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 12:07:46 +0000

Jamie Shackleton’s agent is said to want a move for his player this summer as he struggles for starts on loan at Millwall.

Agent Hayden Evans told Phil Hay of the Athletic that said that Shackleton has become annoyed at his situation on loan with the Lions from Leeds, where the midfielder has started just 16 times this season.

“It’s been frustrating for Jamie. He’s not getting the minutes, but the side are winning. When he’s come on, he’s done well and Millwall have applauded that. But he’s not getting enough minutes.

“He’s got a year at Leeds, so we probably need to find him a permanent move away. He needs to be starting games, and he’s good enough. The quality he has has not diminished in any way. He trains and works hard.”

With 27 Premier League appearances to his name at Leeds, Shackleton isn’t short of minutes at the top level, but with the likes of Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie looking like they will be the full time midfield starters for Leeds going forward, perhaps a move for Shackleton is the best thing for him and his career.

Leeds could sell player Marsch labelled ‘amazing’ just last week

Magnus Eriksen — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 12:35:00 +0000

Leeds United could reportedly be set to make a surprise sale despite Jesse Marsch recently praising this promising young player.

Charlie Cresswell is currently out on loan at Millwall and had been impressing there, though in more recent games he’s found himself out of favour.

Latest reports now suggest that Leeds could end Cresswell’s loan early, and that a permanent move away could also be on the cards for the 20-year-old defender.

Some Leeds fans will surely be disappointed by this news, as it looked like Cresswell could at some point be someone capable of challenging for a place in Marsch’s side.

The American tactician himself praised the youngster as “amazing” in a recent interview, but things can change quickly in football.

Talented Leeds United youngster has interesting clause in deal

Andrew Walker — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 12:47:31 +0000

Leeds United have the option to recall defender, Charlie Cresswell, from loan in January.

That’s according to journalist Tim Thornton, who claims the young centre-back could make a surprise return to Elland Road following what has been an impressive loan spell so far.

Although best known for his defensive capabilities, Cresswell, who has featured in nine Championship games, already has three goals and one assist to his name.

Highly rated among the Whites’ coaching staff, there is likely to be an expectation that the 20-year-old has the talent to become one of the club’s senior starters in the near future, and according to Thornton, that may be sooner rather than later.

“I think there’s a recall option, potentially in January,” Thornton told GiveMeSport.

“But I would expect him to stay at Millwall all season and then come back next season and try to force his way into the first team.”

Given his current squad options, American manager Jesse Marsch seems to prefer the likes of Pascal Struijk and Robin Koch.

However, although Thornton reckons Cresswell will see out the remainder of the season at The Den, the young defender’s early form cannot be ignored and given every team’s need for quality in depth, especially when this year’s World Cup will take place in the middle of the domestic season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Marsch recall the youngster and challenge him to make the step up in competition.

Leeds United could terminate impressive player’s deal in January

Darren Looney — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 12:17:50 +0000

Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell is currently impressing on loan at Millwall but the Premier League club do have the option to bring him back to Elland Road.

The 20-year-old joined the Lions on a season-long loan in July and has been in great form since, keeping two clean sheets, scoring three goals and supplying one assist in nine appearances across all competitions.

Back at Elland Road, Leeds’ defence has not been perfect and have only kept one clean sheet all season whilst conceding five goals against Brentford last time out.

Should Jesse Marsch and the club want Cresswell back, they do have the option to terminate his Millwall loan but that does not seem to be the plan at present.

According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, the journalist has stated that Millwall were not offered the young centre-back by Leeds in the summer and instead, the Championship club had to meet the Yorkshire side’s demands to be able to loan him.

Hay said: “Unlike [Jamie] Shackleton, Millwall were offered no chance to sign Cresswell permanently and while Leeds did not demand a loan fee before sending him south, the deal with Gary Rowett’s team will impose penalty clauses if he fails to play as much as Leeds want.

“There is also a provision for his parent club to recall him in January, though that safety net is for emergencies.

“The whole point of the transfer was that he stayed at The Den and played.”

Leeds clearly hold the centre-back in high regard which is evident by not including a buy clause and if their defensive frailties continue – all though not planned – could they bring Cresswell back during the next window?

‘It’s an exciting idea’ – Leeds man admits he could leave the club

Darren Looney — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 16:07:36 +0000

Leeds United’s Jamie Shackleton sealed a loan move to Millwall this summer but the player could now join the Lions on a permanent basis from next season onwards.

Shackleton managed only 14 Premier League appearances for Leeds United last season, seven of which were starts. The 22-year-old has played a total of 78 games for the Yorkshire side but is not a regular starter for the club at present. The Leeds man has been at the club since 2018 but that time might be coming to an end soon.

Shackleton will be looking to develop further as a player this season with regular game time and has recently admitted that he is willing to leave Leeds next summer in order to maintain that.
