Former Millwall boss Neil Harris is set to replace Joe Edwards as head coach, BBC Radio London understands.
The Lions have lost their last four Championship games, leaving them one point above the drop zone.
Edwards, 37, joined the club in November as successor to Gary Rowett for his first job in senior management.
Harris, 46, spent four years as Millwall manager from 2015 until 2019 and is currently boss of League One side Cambridge United.
Jon - I'm disappointed you didn't just name this thread 'Neil Harris'. The board could've had a meltdown 😄
Ooo that could be them down.
I'd bite yer hand off for Neil Harris over Bulut right now.
Edit: ....and I can't stand Neil Harris!
I would rather Slade back than Harris.Quote:

Maybe there will be a magical new manager bounce, but I doubt much can or will change.
I can't see what Harris can bring that will transform Millwall's season.
They are in a relegation battle and will stay there.
Such an awful manager for us, but he had good moment for them, felt good factor might come back.Quote:

Honestly he's probably the best current pick out of a bad bunch. And not gone for Malky for the bitter taste of racism & bullying.
I think he’s the only manager to get Tomlin playing at all.Quote:

I’m not sure the Cambridge ultras would fare well in a war with Millwall’s finest, but with respect to everyone there, and with thanks to the decent, if truncated, job Harris did at the Abbey – boy I hope you lose every game and we’ll see you in League One next year.
:hehe:
Until Tomlin got his new contract at least.Quote:

I think fans forget the merry-go-round is on the board and owner. The buck starts and stops with them. A 0-0 on Tuesday against a sh*t Blackburn side at home, playing the way we did, should have resulted in immediate dismissal. And yes, I have no faith they'll appoint a better manager or have any long-term plan. That doesn't and shouldn't let Bulut off the hook though either.
Funnily enough....this was in the G yesterday (with a different headline...sneaky) which is a good football read tbh and is on topic.Quote:
