    good squad, i think you could give robson a squad of world calss players and he would still manage to get them relegated!

    Good Manager

    Same players Robson had, but knows how to manage them. Did a great job at making Luton Town some much needed money as well.

    I thought it was agreed that the players we had under Ritchie were not good enough, yet

    you are saying he inherited a good squad, stop harking back to Ritchie, done and dusted.

    The fans never wanted Robson

    It seems thay are right behind Blackwell and the team just now - so that helps as much as anything. Let's see what happens when the honeymoon period ends...

    RE: Good Manager

    What?
    Blackwell left Luton because the administrator sold their best players from under him, for the first price they were offered, leaving him with a squad of trainees, after they had guaranteed that the players would not be sold off. Luton got far less than the value of the players because a man with no football knowledge made footballing decisions.

    Much needed money as in the cup run, which involved the money spinning trip to Anfield.

    If we go down then he should go.

    All the players at the club now re his players, including Howard etc. if we go down its because he cannot motivate them for a full season, not just a couple of Cup matches.

    King Canoute springs to mind with Lutons finances.

    BFC 4 EVA being a bit hard on robson, we managed to keep WBA in prem when they were bottom at x-mas, thats no mean feat, therefor he can't be that bad a manager
