Championship club ‘set to SACK manager’ amid fear of back-to-back relegations
- Luton were among the favorites to gain promotion from the Championship this season
- The Hatters are just two points above the drop zone after a dismal run of results

Luton Town are reportedly planning to sack manager Rob Edwards, with the club fearing relegation to the third tier.
The 42-year-old has been under immense pressure this season as the Hatters have failed to adapt to life in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League last season.
His departure from Kenilworth Road would be a sad end to a rollercoaster journey that began when the club were promoted to the top flight for the first time in 31 years. Edwards’ side received much praise for their performances in the Premier League, but ultimately they fell short of their survival dream.
According to talkSPORT, following their dismal start to the season, which has now seen the side sit just two points above the drop zone, the club and Edwards have agreed to part ways.
The defeat to QPR on Monday night could be the final straw, with a dejected Edwards even claiming the ‘football gods’ are against his team.
“Every week on the road we seem to get hit and hit and hit,” he said after the 2-1 defeat at Loftus Road.

‘Things have been going against us lately. It seems the football gods are against us.
‘The results are not good enough. The players give everything, but we are in a results business.’
Edwards has faced the wrath of Hatters supporters during their most recent poor run, which has seen just one win in their last six games.
Last week the former Watford manager, who joined the Hornet’s rivals in 2022 after a short-lived spell at Vicarage Road, insisted he would not walk away from the side he led to the Premier League.
“I’m not walking away from this, I’m not walking away at all, it makes me want to turn things around,” he told BBC Three Counties Radio. ‘As much as I want things for this football club, I have a family to look after, I want to work.’
