Bloke just came into the office and told us about this!  He'd just signed a four-year contract too; that's gonna be a hell of a pay-out... So who the hell are they gonna get in?!  I'd have kept him, personally - just last year, he was being touted as one of the best young managers around. Amazing how quickly you can lose your reputation  Best of luck to him, anyway That's pretty much sealed our relegation though. |

Kevin Blackwell must be rubbing his hands at the prospect of being able to commute from his home each morning.

Bad decision in my book, I think he could've got Luton out of the mess they're in. I just hope to God he doesn't end up at Leicester. |

The BBC is currently reporting that Luton have dropped to 2nd in the Championship.... YOU WISH!!!  Struggling Luton sack boss Newell Mike Newell Newell has not been afraid to air his views at Luton Luton have sacked manager Mike Newell with the club battling against relegation from the Championship. The club dropped to second in the Championship after being beaten 2-1 by Hull On Tuesday. Newell criticised the Kenilworth Road board after the game and blamed Luton's plight on the fact that he has had to sell the club's best players. A Luton statement said Newell's "...contract had been terminated with immediate effect." The club added: "There will be no further comment at present but there will be a further statement in due course." |

Next season maybe, but not now... I think it's just sour grapes on the boards' part; Newell asked what every fan has been wondering, and they've had enough of being told they don't know how to run their club. (Even if this shows they don't  ) |

Aww... the BBC have updated their page to say "second bottom" and not "second" now. I'm so dulled out by worked today it's sad what passes for entertainment.

Didn't really happen at Leeds, did it? Who'd want to come in at this point anyway? With this board and squad, we're a poisoned chalice for any manager's CV! |
