And so, it came to pass that on Friday 24-April the Luton hierarchy decided that Graeme Jones and his entourage were, after all, not the team to take the club forward.
For Graeme Jones, the axe fell at an inopportune moment, after all, who’d have expected such a bold statement from the board during such trying times?
But, the axing of Graeme Jones leaves the Hatters in an uncompromising position.
Mick Harford has been appointed in a position that can, at best, only be described as a liaison role, looking after players and reporting back to the board.
We all know Mick is reticent to return to full-time management and it remains to be seen whether the board if there is a resumption of the COVID-19 hit season, have an ace up their sleeves and have a new man ready to appoint.
However, when it comes to posts on social media sites the name of one man is starting to become a prominent feature, that of our previous manager, Nathan Jones:

After seeing his move to Stoke City not live up to expectations, Nathan is currently looking for a new job.
There’s no doubting that Nathan knows our club inside out and there’s also no doubt that several supporters would welcome the return of the man who did so well while in charge at Kenilworth Road.
Although I’m not sure it is the right decision to make a return to a previous club, even more so when you consider the manner in which Nathan opted to leave Kenilworth Road, numerous posts do support the return of him:
Nathan incoming 😂

Like I said earlier, I have my doubts, but what are your feelings on the subject?
It’ll be interesting to see how this poll pans out.
But in winding up this article, I’ll leave you with a social media post that raised a smile on my face in these grim times:
Views on whether it’s right or wrong to let Graeme Jones go. Some noise about the poss of Nathan Jones returning. An opinion is someone’s personal preference. Whether you agree or not no need to fall out. As for me, I don’t give a shit if we get Bridget Jones! I trust the board
