During the 2000β01 English football season, Millwall F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.
In the 2000β01 season, Millwall controversially sacked joint managers Keith Stevens and Alan McLeary in September, stating that the club didn't believe Stevens and McLeary could meet Millwall's target goal. [1] Ray Harford was appointed caretaker manager on a temporary basis and it seemed possible that he might be given the job permanently, but Mark McGhee was named as their replacement [2] and eight months later the club won promotion as Division Two champions after five years in the lower tier of the league.
