'Sad day for majority of Luton fans' - analysis

For the vast majority of Luton fans this will be a sad day indeed.

Rob Edwards gave them one of the best days in the club's history and then led with honour and dignity during some rough moments.

He took over with the club 10th in the Championship and guided them into the play-offs, culminating in the Wembley final win over Coventry and into the Premier League.

And that financial reward has helped towards the cost of the new stadium at Power Court.

The Hatters were relegated from the top-flight but not without a plucky fight and Edwards' handling of the Tom Lockyer cardiac arrest was above and beyond.

However, life in the Championship has been tough and uncomfortable for a number of reasons - 15 defeats already this season isn't good enough, especially when compared to the other two relegated sides who are second and third.

Ultimately, the manager takes the blame and so the man who will be remembered for that glorious moment at Wembley and getting Luton into the top flight for the first time in 31 years departs.
