Lions cool Jackett reports

Millwall have rubbished reports that former Swansea boss Kenny Jackett has already been lined up to replace the sacked Willie Donachie at The Den.
The Lions parted company with Donachie at the beginning of the week and vowed to take their time in finding a successor.
Reports suggested the board had decided to offer the job to Jackett - who is currently employed as Manchester City reserve team manager - but the League One club have moved swiftly to play down the speculation.
"Reports that Millwall have already appointed a successor to Willie Donachie as manager of the football club are both inaccurate and premature," read a club statement.
"A shortlist of candidates is in the process of being drawn up and interviews are likely to begin shortly.
"At this stage it is anticipated that an announcement will not be made until the latter part of next week at the earliest."
