Luton have sacked manager Mike Newell with the club battling against relegation from the Championship.
The club dropped to second from bottom in the Championship after being beaten 2-1 by Hull on Tuesday.

Newell criticised the Kenilworth Road board after the game and blamed Luton's plight on the fact that he has had to sell the club's best players.

A Luton statement said Newell's contract had been "terminated with immediate effect".

What about Souey? Laughing

His sacking has nothing to do with the incident involving the lineswoman? I never heard what the outcome was...

A bad decision in my opinion not a good time to sack your manager with not long left of the season.I know that a lot of Luton fans are not happy and saying that the board are just hiding behind this.

What was Newell supposed to do? Newell was working the best he could with what he had as Luton developed a reputation as a club that always sold their best players. Newell obviously had to have a good positive impact on those players such as Vine, Nicholls, Howard, Edwards etc and constantly had them sold from under his feet. And what a ridicolous time to do it!!!!!! In the red zone with not long left to go Ridicolous should have rode it out till the end of the season then reviewed the situation.

Souness is buying into Southampton apparently - will be quite amusing

Steve Tilson is another name in the frame
