A staggering 99% registered in favour, securing funds worth £2 million with a further £4 million loaned to the club.
"I think it was the only deal for Millwall," Millwall's fan on the board Pete Garston told the club's official site (and not the South London Press, who seem to think they have a monopoly on everything). "The other options that were put to the board were not as football focused; they didn't have the same commitment to the footballing side and that's why they were taken no further."
"Having met Mr John G. Berylson, leader of the CHV group, on a number of occasions, Peter was impressed by his enthusiasm and determination to help Millwall succeed.
"I've met John socially and at several meetings," he added, "and I think he is a decent guy who wants to win. He's bought into the feeling; the never-say-die attitude of the supporters.
"I think it's part of the reason he's here, because of our history and our background. He likes to win - and he's not a loser."
