He will have belief in his own ability, the question is though as much as we rated him can we get better, cheaper, lots of free transfers out there this season.

I’d expect to see him back in the Championship but with another club, probably someone like Leicester, Leeds or Middlesbrough.

And going to Millwall would be a backward step.

Why is it?
Millwall finished 2 points behind us, but we have literally lost half our squad including Vik and possibly Hamer, our best players. As things stand our only signing is Bristol city's reserve left back.

We only have 1 CH on our books as things stand and only Godden up front. Any neutral would say Millwall's squad looks a lot stronger than ours.

He will have seen/know we have more medium to long term potential than Millwall. Unless I was a player who wanted to remain in/move to London, it wouldn't be high on my list of clubs to join as a player.

Do we? millwall are willing to spend 2m on a striker before selling their star striker…

We don’t seem to have a pot to piss in until Gyokeres goes and then we have to sign 10-12 new players

Yeah. That's probably what Robins will say to him too. All our best players are definitely leaving, and I'm not signing anyone. We're definitely going to get relegated, how do you feel about coming back for another year?

Don’t think DaSilva was Bristol City’s reserve left back he was playing in their first team regular at the end of the season and been said the Bristol fans weren’t very happy him leaving.

It's not up to Robins though is it.
It's up to Burnley and where they see their asset gaining more experience. He's been here and been successful and seen how we operate, so where is he likely to gain more useful experience and gain new knowledge.
Here again to just repeat what he did last year, or in a different environment facing a different challenge?

Most fans on the forum couldn’t care less if he stayed and actually the majority were happy he went - I’ve already posted a link to the forum last time you made this up and I’m not bothering again

One said Jay z would be a better footballer

He may be fine but there is no evidence they cared less he’s gone

“A club like Millwall doesn’t compete at the top end of the Championship without an owner that is prepared to fund it at certain points of that journey,” Lions manager Gary Rowett told the South London Press.

Doug King should take note

If DK is paying for infrastructure stuff, then that is effectively releasing funds for players, compared to previous seasons.

Support - at least 50% higher than Millwall (average 13k last season) plus if I was looking at a place of work, I would have thought we would be a lot more attractive than Millwall (style of play, knows the manager, nicer places to live/cheaper, knows a lot of our players).

Well

Millwall FC's plans for Kent training ground approved

A Championship football side's plans to erect new training ground facilities in the green belt near a major race track have been approved.

In reality FFP will haunt clubs that live beyond their means. It’s happening to Reading and Cardiff with other clubs being looked at. FFP seems to be taken seriously at our level.

Based on them having signed Nisbet from Hibs, and our signings aren't here yet? Agree that their training ground proposal looks nice.

Nice. Most Championship clubs have top tier training facilities that really put ours to shame.

And yet Sisu were shit and only here for the money!

While they still found the funds for Vik and Hamer, even though the club was allegedly loosing around a million pounds a month. (And I'm no supporter of Sisu, but I'm yet to see much of an improvement since they left other than a bit of grass)

Doug needs to find the resources to put a squad together and fast. He's had his honeymoon period and the training ground improvements are welcome (if underwhelming). The fans have backed the club, as shown in record season ticket sales, now it's time to step up and deliver what MR requires.
