'Edwards' Luton legacy is enormous' - analysis

For the last few weeks it has felt like only a matter of time that Rob Edwards would leave, and more so after his emotional response to us on BBC Three Counties Radio after the defeat to Middlesbrough back in November.

The credit for their promotion at Wembley and their battling, but ultimately failed, attempt to stay in the Premier League could only last so long and this season hasn't been good enough.

The board have given it as long as they could - probably longer, if we're honest - but four defeats over Christmas and New Year and the worsening of the away record to 10 successive losses could only mean one thing.

There will be memories to last a lifetime - the Wembley win has bankrolled a new stadium and the legacy of his two years in charge is enormous.

The search for a new manager is presumably well underway, but whoever it is has a tough act to follow.
