No it was before it got rebranded to the Championship. The first season of the championship was the 2004/05 season it was called the First Division before that. Before that league one was the Second Division, and League two was the Third Division.No he didn't. Millwall were League 1 until the last season after getting promoted. And he must have been about 38 when he joined us. That alone was a gamble.
Thought he looked absolutely terrible against us in the summer.Think Michael Keane is out of contract in the summer and would have worked with Lampard at Everton.

I know, I miss the proper First Division before the Premier League yearsDoesn't time fly when you're having fun. Must be nearly 20 years age then
Lamps putting his boots on ? Good cost saving thereLoans + Experience will be coming in, which is what we so desperately need
He also played for Soton before joining us.No he didn't. Millwall were League 1 until the last season after getting promoted. And he must have been about 38 when he joined us. That alone was a gamble.
Was great but took it for granted. Always something to play for at the end of the season. Players took a 2 footed tackle and got straight back up most of the time.I know, I miss the proper First Division before the Premier League years

Loans and experience can be mutually exclusive, we tried signing Joe Worrall on loan in the summer and there are plenty of players out there not getting game time.Why do we desperately need loans ?
A try-before-you-buy deal is one of the only scenarios I’d want us to hit the loan market in January. If we’re not going up or down this season then we shouldn’t be spending tons of money to develop another team’s youngsters.Probably because our squad needs to be developed still? Maybe loans to transfer at the end of the season if they make a difference?

While its obv a good thing the he is prepared to u-turn on things it would be nice to have someone in charge who doesn't make so many mistakes in the first place.Doug King Redemption Arc?
King has not banned loans or experienced players. We tried to sign both in the summer.While its obv a good thing the he is prepared to u-turn on things it would be nice to have someone in charge who doesn't make so many mistakes in the first place.
We really need him to bring someone in who knows how to run a football club but I can't see it happening.
We surely can't afford to have 4 first team keepers in the squad.any legs in Marcus Bettinelli on loan until the end of the season?
possibly not a priority but an experienced keeper and a Chelsea link, wouldn’t be a bad shout if true

I trust when he said he’s looking to recruit one. Ultimately people make mistakes football people or not (look at Stoke on that oneWhile its obv a good thing the he is prepared to u-turn on things it would be nice to have someone in charge who doesn't make so many mistakes in the first place.

Painful for them.Collins going on loan to plymouth in Jan
I really hope so as it glaringly obvious we need a fourth goalkeeper, along with the youth goalkeepers, to see us through to the end of the season.any legs in Marcus Bettinelli on loan until the end of the season?

The narrative is he does not want to pay the sort of money experienced players or Prem loans cost. We were not gazumped apart from possibly Browne (although there are rumours he was canned in favour of Stamenic). King would rather buy a development player to make money.King has not banned loans or experienced players. We tried to sign both in the summer.
sorry if that spoils the narrative for some.
Hardly a narrative is it, the guy doesn’t want to spend a penny more than ‘he’ feels appropriate which is cluelessKing has not banned loans or experienced players. We tried to sign both in the summer.

My take is that he does not want to run the club into massive debt and he will trade to break even in the long run whilst striving to get into the premier league. There are plenty of clues in what he says. What I am not too sure about is what he will do if and when we get that promotion.The narrative is he does not want to pay the sort of money experienced players or Prem loans cost.

Which I believe to be incorrect based on Kings own comments…. The next few weeks might prove thatThe narrative is he does not want to pay the sort of money experienced players or Prem loans cost.

Every player has a value and if you’re priced out on wages or transfer fee, move on or else you end up like Man U with a stable of players they paid too much for and pay too much to get rid of.Hardly a narrative is it, the guy doesn’t want to spend a penny more than ‘he’ feels appropriate which is clueless
Rumors were that Collins was off on loan to Plymouth. Haven’t heard anything on Kitching but it’s not like he’s featuring.Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here, but have been told a rumour that Kitching and Collins will be leaving in Jan, we are also looking at bringing in Tyler Bindon from Reading at CB.
