‘Gods are against us’ – Rob Edwards to leave Luton amid fears of back-to-back relegations
Yesterday at 08:20 AM
Rob Edwards is set to leave Championship club Luton by mutual consent, talkSPORT understands.
The 42-year-old had been under huge pressure at Kenilworth Road amid fears the club could suffer shock back-to-back relegations.
Luton earned rave reviews in the Premier League last season as a result of their attacking style of play, but they ultimately were unable to beat the drop.
Tipped as one of the favourites to secure promotion back to the top-flight, the Hatters are instead competing to stay in the second tier.
In what has been a nightmare campaign so far, Luton currently sit in 20th spot following Monday night’s 2-1 defeat away at QPR.
The result leaves them just two points above the bottom three, with the prospect of League One football next term a very real possibility.
Speaking after the loss at Loftus Road, a dejected Edwards said: “Every week on the road we seem to be getting hit and hit and hit.
“Things have gone against us recently. It just seems the footballing gods are against us.
“The results are not good enough. The players are giving everything, but we are in a results business."
Edwards and Luton have now agreed to part ways – although no official announcement has been made yet.
