They've had a shocking run of form although to be fair to Newell he's had to sell Nicholls to Leeds, Howard to Derby, Davies to WBA, Vine to Birmingham and Edwards to Sunderland and hasn't seen of the money back (8 or 9m i think) for team strengthening. They were their 5 best players!

There was an article on the BBC site this morning, Newell was complaining of having had to sell £9.2m worth of players over the last couple of seasons -Cutis Davies, Rowan Vine, Carlos Edwards, Steve Howard and Kevin Nicholls all went, with only a fraction of that re-invested in new players and his conclusion was that it was no wonder Luton were struggling. I thought that would get him in trouble and it might just have been the final straw.
Speaking to a Luton Town supporter this AM, he said he thinks they are destined to ground share with the MK Dons once that stadium is built. Not a happy man, as has been said Newell has sold half a decent ish championship team it is bound to have a big effect on a club.

Was that the most sarcastic post ever?

I doubt he'll be out of work for long.
