scram Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Bilic wasn't it? Either way although it's hard for me to like Luton it really pee's off Watford fans that a, Luton got to the PL when they were expecting to and b, with a manager they sacked because they deemed he wasn't going to get them up So all in all i am well pleased for them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The commentator on Sky summed up Luton remarkable achievement. 10 years, ago this season they lost at home to Hyde United in a league game in the conference. Next season they will be playing in the Premier league Also they have become the first team to go from the Premier league (or division one as it was), to the conference and back again. No other club has ever done that. Remarkable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hasn’t one of their players played on all 4 leagues with them or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned having to go to places like Gateshead and Alfreton just a few years ago to being 90 mins from the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_vinyl_frontier Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Chuffed for Luton, they deserved to win it too. How they weren't 3-0 up at HT is astonishing. They were off it second half and looked like they could throw it away. Glad Cov lost. Horrible club and terrible bandwagon fans. When they were having stadium issues, most of the fans gave up and supported Wasps Rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWEDFM Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Great to see Luton go up although I do like Coventry as a club and I can remember us playing them in the Prem during the late 90's. Wednesday vs Coventry was a typical Premiership fixture back then. Both clubs have fallen on hard times since Will be fascinating to see who Luton bring in now they'll have some money to spend. I think they should stick with the squad they have and maybe do it the Brentford way when they first went up. Sign 4 or 5 players to improve the team but not make sweeping changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be my preferred approach, i'd really like to start and see players progress with us, rather than decline as many seem to do who we then replace.

Yea, the difficulty is as fans we aren't privvy to the set up, but the scouting, youth set up and long term thinking on recruitment, transfer policy and contract extensions need to marry up and stop being so short termism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Probably being harsh here, but I thought both teams were very average. Only player I can see impressing in the Premier League from both sides was Gyorkes of Cov. Luton will battle away next season and get a few points at home, but really you can't see them staying up. Still, great achievement and a huge financial prize for the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF TAZ Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Yeah in hindsight, Luton might prop the pigs up, but I’m indifferent to the pigs staying up as I do feel like them doing well pushes us on a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
