At least it will be an easy job to look for the next manager in the Millwall directors' box. No Martin from Wakefield moment.

Just a theory, no info. Perhaps the brothers had their heads turned by another club, so Phil just got rid. In which case, why not let the other club pay the £1m compo that we had to pay Lincoln for doing exactly the same? Paid a million for them, now we'll have to pay them off, all this after our chairman has been all over the media warning how difficult the financial landscape looks next season. What the actual fuck is this bloke playing at?

Takeover happening surely... Normally a takeover happens and then the manager is changed. Not the other way round.

Reserve judgement until some facts come out. There's got to be more to this I think that's the only sensible way to approach this at the moment. We're all in shock, but we need more details. For me, I feel similar to how I did when we sacked Macari after he failed on the play-offs after relegation. On the one hand I thought it was incredibly harsh based on results/achievements. On the other hand, I was glad I wasn't watching his boring style of football. Trouble is, we replaced him with someone far worse. Whatever my reservations about the Cowleys, IMO they had achieved enough to deserve the chance to take us forward next season. Surely they had earned that chance? Must be more to this. We all await developments, but the club need to provide a fuller statement quickly.

Why are people upset by this? They’ve been awful and nearly sent us down. No it was the shit before they came that nearly sent us down. These boys kept us up. Everyone’s heads were down and gone. They instilled the belief into the team when it had none. I’d say with the players available and how much they cost we should be higher.

It was my poor attempt at humour. Now I'm a bit worried. I hope I'm wrong. It was just the first name that occurred to me if we appointed from within. Obviously there's a very good chance we have someone external lined up. We would, wouldn't we? Stop scaremongering...

Mental - this makes no sense. So we are either more brasic than we all thought, there is a takeover happening or Phil has suddenly turned into a sheik. My money is on option 1. But we have to pay both the Cowleys' contracts up and then probably fork out compensation to the new bloke's current club. How does that make us 'brasic'?

I think they have had there head turned by an approach from Bristol city ,certainly people on Twitter a few days ago thought so

If another club were coming in for them, surely sacking them is the wrong move? Make the approaching club pay us a fee rather than sack them and pay them out? I REALLY hope there is a bigger plan here

I’d say with the players available and how much they cost we should be higher. Cost doesnt always count......not when you recruit as badly as we did. There has to be more to this decision given the compensation involved and the liquidity issues all clubs face surely?! If not its a huge call.

We all know what happened to Town after that.

Where is Maynard when we need some information ?.I am shell shocked .Like some have already said we need to sit back and stay open minded until we know what the heck is going on.

I think it is an absolutely crazy decision. It will need a very good explanation to convince me that it is the right thing to do. Makes for an interesting game, now on Wednesday at the new den. And more than just a match commentary from Oggy and Matt.

I’d say with the players available and how much they cost we should be higher. But some of the players are not very good. They should be good, but they aren’t. With the poor resources that they had and playing catch up, they have done good.

Something mega must be happening that we don’t yet know about, otherwise this makes no sense. You'd think that wouldn't you? but the fact we appear to have a replacement already lined up suggest this hasn't just happened. Strange times

Bristol City Absolutely no way, we don’t have a pot to piss in by all accounts so we’ve sacked them and decided to pay them off rather than letting the other club pay us compo whilst avoiding any severance package... that would be about a 2 million pound swing in that decision!

My worry is that the fall out is them saying they want more money being spent then Phil is planning too. Although it would make little sense if we are skint, someone like Phil may not want a manager who believed his squad wasn’t good enough.

Sacking the management team, who have met the brief and have a great track record at prior clubs, and risk replacing with Siewert mark 2.

Compensation not a concern to him, which means that it will be worth throwing away £500,000 - £1,000,000. If so, that is cutting your nose off....., billy big bollocks statement to make.

Very perplexing, so many questions.
I felt uneasy watching Danny's post match pitchside, seemed very peculiar seeing as we had just clinched survival from the jaws of relegation.
I thought we had cleared up the whole wanting control thing getting them on board hence coming back with a second offer which they accepted?
We played some good stuff under them but reverted back to the sideways passing and inept finishing which has been a curse since halfway through our first premiership season which I dont blame them for.
Incredibly nervous at what the next few months will bring, with Covid happening on top I would have thought stability would be priority number one.
Also because of covid its perplexing how anyone would want to take over a football club at this time, especially one as ours which on the surface looks like only heading in one direction.
