June After Craig's shock departure
Willie Donachie moves quickly to sign left back Andy Frampton
from relegated Brentford for £30,000. Willie says, "He's
been in our thoughts for some time and is a very good and
experienced player"...
...In a sort of two for the price of one deal, left back Scott
Barron arrives from Ipswich. Willie says, "You cannot
have too many good left-footed players in your squad and I
am sure Scott will prove a real asset for us."
26th June
In a surprising move, Tony Craig is apparently set for a switch
to Selhurst Park. crystal palace boss Peter Taylor says, "I
can confirm we have agreed things with Millwall and I'm hopeful
it will be completed."
22nd June
The Ipswich rumour mill is the first to announce that left
back Scott Barron will join the Lions on 1st July...
...Gavin Grant's murder trial takes a further twist as a letter
is read out in court that implicates him in the crime directly...
...The first in several - the Brighton away match scheduled
for 8th September, is moved to Friday 7th to avoid a clash
with an England international. Also altered is the time of
the Hartlepool home match on 3rd November. It will now be
at 1pm because of the Blackheath fireworks display.
21st June
The first XI pre-season friendly list is confirmed: 14th July
- Dundee (A), 18th July - Falkirk (A), 21st July - Motherwell
(A), 24th July - Ebbsfleet (A), 28th July - Aldershot (A),

Yes, that's right, Sierra Leone!

June Derby wide-man and former target,
Darren Currie, reveals that he is in talks with both Colchester
United and Millwall about a move south from the newly promoted
club.
19th June
Graham Ferguson Lacey makes good on his promise and swaps
£900,000 for 3,000,000,000 new shares in the company.
As we are unaware of his motives it is difficult to tell whether
this is a good or bad thing at this stage. He now owns 27.8%
of Millwall Plc.
16th June Ex-Lion
Teddy Sheringham is finally awarded for, presumably; services
to 20 year old models, with an MBE in the Queen's Birthday
Honours List...
...Mark McGhee is appointed as Motherwell boss.
14th
June The League fixture list is released. Doncaster
Rovers away on the opening day, followed by a first home game
against Cheltenham Town. The Lions are at home against Brighton
on Boxing Day, and the much anticipated Leeds home game is
right at the end. Just in time for Little Dennis to congratulate
us on our promotion - if he hasn't been sacked by then.
13th June
The only way the League Cup raises any interest levels is
when it becomes the first fixture announced each summer. Northampton
away. Great.
11th June
25 year old midfielder Danny Spiller joins from Gillingham
and 27 year old striker Gary Alexander completes the confirmation
of recent rumours by joining him at The Den. Alexander is
a Millwall supporter and says, "Once I knew Willie Donachie
wanted to sign me, there was only one club I wanted to join."
8th June
Speaking to the South London Press, Derby winger Darren Currie
says, "I have spoken to Willie and he asked if I was
interested and I said 'Yes.' Working with him would certainly
appeal. But he does understand my feelings - I have a few
clubs interested and I would like to stay in the Championship
if I can"...
...Jody Morris and Adam Cottrell are politely asked to close
The Den gates as they leave. Morris slams them.
6th
June Leeds join Norwich and Luton
in an alleged race to sign Marvin Elliott, about whom, it
is announced publicly, has turned down an offer of £2,500
a week.
