Just wanted to reflect on what a class act
@Coventry_City

What a ridiculous debacle this was all-round. Never stood a chance. Squad not good enough and delusional fans. Twice he’s left Luton for supposedly better jobs only to find the grass isn’t greener. Sad all round. Shows how well run Luton are and the sum is greater than its parts.

By my calculations, if Stacey goes, we'll have brought in about £2m per season for the last 4 years and won 2 promotions, while spending a fraction of that. Terrific scouting, purchases and selling. Of course, it's easy for others to spuriously talk about
@LutonTown

So Mick is 'privileged' to step in on an interim basis. I read he feels he needs to because of the -30 season. It's the other way round. We're priveleged. He was the only one to step in. He's done it again. Icon. He deserves

Don't understand all the conjecture around Hylton at the moment. Last year it was PRM, how did that work out? Hylton is a quality player, he's been out of form but still managed 8 in 28 (not sure how many starts). Form is temporary, class is permanent. I want him in a Luton shirt

Annoyed. This was obvious to anyone trying to be objective. We are over £60m better off this season. We needed to strengthen and add depth and quality, especially with injuries. Instead we’ve scrimped and brought it on ourselves. Heaven forbid anyone makes that honest assessment.

Was stepping back to KR like stepping back 30 years? I hope so. We weren't racist then, we're not now. Never have been, never will. We should generate a lively, exciting, even intimidating atmosphere at the Kenny. That's what home advantage is all about. We must continue to do so

Is Luton's potential huge? 7K for an 8hr away trip to Newcastle. 4.5K sold out for a 4hr round trip to Notts County. Huge amounts of history. 42K sold out for just the JPT final. Potential for more competitive football and regular big crowds home and away with 1 more promotion.
