Rob Edwards is leaving Luton by mutual consent. Which to me means 'we're firing you but as you got us promoted to the Premier League we'll give you some respect and not announce it as a sacking'.
Weird how they've gone from overperforming to get promoted and then have a respectable season in the PL, to underperforming so badly.
Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert whose only full time managerial role since 2016 was 6 months in the Turkish league is somehow the new manager of...........Indonesia.

And I'll go quietly if you pay me a decent lump to fuck off.

He only signed a new 4 year deal in the summer as well.

Indonesia was formerly known as the Dutch East Indies

Yep...not as random as it sounds. Netherlands always had plenty of Indonesian restaurants, in the same we as we had/have curry houses. Big links between the two countries.

Strong former colonial links, but still a pretty random "big name" appointment, I imagine Kluivert knows nothing about Indonesian football. It would be like appointing Nicky Butt or Tony Adams manager of Malaysia.
Sometimes I wonder... if Alan Curbishley's period at the club were happening today, with how much football has changed and all the money in the Premier League, would he have survived the sack when we were relegated in our first top-flight season?

The season they came up they were wholly reliant on Morris (20) for their goals with Adebayo (7) next and no one else getting more than 3 goals - the irony being that three of the four players that did that have Charlton associations in being Campbell, Berry and Lockyer.
The latter named Lockyer is, perhaps, the one player they've missed the most. He started 39 Championship matches in 2022-23 of which 18 finishing with Luton having clean sheets and another 13 when they conceded a single goal. In total, Luton conceded 42 goals in their 49 matches but have already let in 44 in 27 this season.

We were competitive in that season. If a newly promoted side is competitive and fights to the end, that's all you can ask for.
Edwards has come threat because Luton are in serious danger of a double relegation.

Yeah there's been others recently too, Dyche at Burnley, Farke at Norwich, Kompany wasn't fired last season.

Kompany got the Bayern Munich job despite relegating Burnley
West Ham United can confirm that Head Coach Julen Lopetegui has today left the Club.
The first half of the 2024/25 season has not aligned with the Club’s ambitions and the Club has therefore taken action in line with its objectives.
The Club can confirm that Assistant Head Coach Pablo Sanz, Head of Performance Oscar Caro, Head Analyst Juan Vicente Peinado, Fitness Coach Borja De Alba and Technical Coach Edu Rubio have also left with immediate effect.

It's random because he's had 1 managerial role (that lasted 6 months) since 2016 and i doubt has ever watched an Indonesian game in his life.

Although you often hear rumours about managerial sackings before they happen, I have never seen a club where that happens so frequently as at West Ham. Probably says a lot about the character of the senior people running the club that we always get a steady drip of rumours that undermine the manager before he is finally sacked. The fans moan about a stadium that we pay for (we want Upton Park 😪), they moan about the only manager who has won them anything in decades (yes, but the football was boring 😡). A classless club
West Ham United have agreed a deal to appoint Graham Potter as their new head coach on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The Athletic reported on Wednesday that West Ham were progressing in their talks with Potter, with the club later confirming the departure of Julen Lopetegui after six months in charge.
Potter is set to take charge of West Ham for the first time on Friday as his side travel to Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round.

Maybe idea for their interim (at least)💡

Lopetegui had "his" backroom staff with him, but it didn't stop them underperforming.
