Claridge: Next boss?
Millwall Football Club have called a press conference for this afternoon where it is expected that former player Steve Claridge will be announced as The Lions new manager.

Claridge, who left The Den to manage Weymouth, flew back from Germany at the weekend for an interview with chairman Jeff Burnige and it is thought his appointment was rubber-stamped at board meeting yesterday afternoon.

Birmingham City Assistant Manager Eric Black and former Watford boss Ray Lewington are also believed to have made the final shortlist of three.
