Millwall chairman Berylson: We’re aiming to sign players to take us to the next level
Millwall owner John Berylson has talked about the club’s summer recruitment plans.
The Lions missed out on a Championship play-off place on the final day of the campaign, a 4-3 reverse against Blackburn at The Den seeing them drop out of those coveted spots.
Berylson has posted a message to Lions fans on the club’s official website.
And he has spelled out that the hard work has already started to bolster Gary Rowett’s squad for the 2023-24 season.
“Our objective for this summer is no different to any other in that we are going to do absolutely everything we can to help strengthen the squad as much as possible,” wrote Berylson.
“In recent years we feel that we’ve shown progress on and off the pitch each season and our aim is to do that again.
“It’s not easy, certainly not so early in the summer, but Gary, Alex Aldridge, and the recruitment department are working incredibly hard to secure the players which can help take us to that next level.
“I’m certainly very excited and enthused by that challenge and have every faith that come the end of the window we’ll have a team and squad ready to compete strongly once more.
“The dust is beginning to settle on what was ultimately a very painful end to a season which so promised so much. There is no hiding from the fact that what happened in that second-half against Blackburn badly hurt us all, but what I’m focused on is ensuring that those negative emotions we’re collectively experiencing are channelled in the right way – and that’s by growing further, getting better, and going again next season.
“There is so much to look back on with such pride and joy, not least the quite incredible atmosphere and feeling within The Den during the early stages of that final game.
“It was better than anything I’ve seen and experienced during my association with the club and what we’re focused on as a club is continuing to try and harness that type of environment as often as possible in 2023-24 and beyond.”
