Goes down as one of the best Millwall Manager's Kenny Jackett


A statement on the Millwall website read this:


Millwall Football Club has today announced that Kenny Jackett has resigned as manager of the club. The Board of Directors has, with reluctance, accepted his decision.
Kenny stated: "After almost six seasons I personally feel the time is right for a new challenge, and also for a new manager to come into Millwall with fresh ideas, to take the club forward towards its long term goal of reaching the Premier League.
I would like to thank the Chairman, the Board of Directors, players, members of staff and supporters of Millwall for their considerable backing.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Millwall. My family and I will always have a strong link and affinity with the club."
Lions chairman John Berylson added: "On behalf of the Board of Millwall Football Club, I want to express my thanks to Kenny for his fantastic service and achievements over the past five and a half years.
He has played a major role in creating a stable environment at Millwall which hadn’t been the case prior to his arrival.
On a personal level, whilst respecting Kenny’s decision, I wish I could have persuaded him to change his mind. He was my first acquisition as chairman of the club and has proved himself to be one of the best. I am losing a great manager, but he will remain a good friend and hopefully, golf partner.
I know everyone associated with Millwall, management, staff, players and fans, will wish Kenny all the very best with his future endeavours, except for those times when he might oppose us on the pitch.
We are now determined to move the club forward and build on the foundations Kenny has provided towards even greater success."

Owen Coyle 7/1
Neil Warnock 7/1
Karl Robinson 8/1

FT REPORT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
