    That club is seriously screwed up

    Millwall have sacked manager Steve Claridge after just 36 days in charge of the Lions.
    A club statement said: "The board of directors believe that it is in the best interests of the club that this move is made now.

    "A new manager can be appointed quickly in advance of the start of the season."

    Ex-Wolves boss Colin Lee has taken over with immediate effect from the 39-year-old Claridge, who had two spells as a player with Millwall.

    The Lions drew 2-2 at home to Gillingham in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, having been 2-0 down.

    Claridge has overseen just four friendly games - two wins, a draw and a defeat.

    The much-travelled striker succeeded Dennis Wise, who resigned in May due to differences with the incoming chairman Jeff Burnige.

    But it has been a turbulent month at the club, with Burnige stepping down and several key players leaving the New Den since Claridge took over on 21 June.

    Claridge is a bit of a wide boy though. Likes a gamble, likes a pint.
