Is The Answer To Luton’s Woe Staring Us In The Face?
Or perhaps it is not as simple as that!
Inspiration for an article, to keep the front page of Vital Luton Town rolling, comes from the responses to the articles posted.
Last night, as I was looking through the comments left, one from Chris caught my eye.
It related to the much-discussed / debated tenure of Graeme Jones as the Hatters manager.
The gist of the article is that the author of the comment, would support the immediate sacking of Graeme Jones and install Mick Harford for the remaining games of the season, basically suggesting we’ve nothing to lose (see below)
“My solution – Sack Jones now pay him off, get big Mick in for the remaining games, if it pays off we’ll get a pay-out for staying in the championship, that’ll help with paying off Jones, then next season we can rebuild.”
It’s a solution that I’m sure many would support, but it does have one complication.
Last season, when Mick Harford picked up the pieces after Nathan Jones had left for Stoke City, the former striker exorcised a demon when he led the club to promotion.
Harford, in his previous spell as manager, had the misfortune to be in charge when the Hatters lost their League status and slipped into non-league football.
Naturally, nobody blamed Mick, relegation was inevitable after the club were hit with a 30-point deduction for misdemeanours committed by a previous regime.
But, with his feelings for the club, Mick felt the pain of relegation more than the rest of us.
Therefore, although the idea gets my support, would Mick be prepared to take over, in such difficult circumstances, knowing relegation is, most probably, the only conclusion to our miserable season?
Unless, of course, he can instigate a miracle and deny, what the majority believe is the inevitable come May!
