Luton Town have named ex-Watford boss Rob Edwards as their new manager on a "minimum three-and-a-half year" deal.

 

The 39-year-old replaces Nathan Jones, who left the Championship club last week after being appointed by Premier League side Southampton.

 

Edwards was appointed by Watford in May and sacked on 26 September after only 11 games in charge, winning three.

 

"From the outside, looking in at Luton Town, you see such a well-run football club," he told the club website.

Here is the article confirming this.

Sabri Lamouchi's first game as Cardiff boss ended in defeat as Elijah Adebayo scored a late winner to move Luton into the Championship play-off places.

 

Adebayo made amends after Ryan Allsop looked to have earned Cardiff a point by saving Adebayo's tame penalty after Cedric Kipre's handball.

 

Cardiff are winless in 12 games and only three points above the relegation zone having not won since 5 November.

The English Football League says it is reviewing Reading's finances amid reports the Championship club is about to receive a six-point deduction.

 

The punishment would see the club drop from 14th in the table to 19th, and seven points above the relegation zone.

 

The Royals were deducted six points for breaching financial rules in 2021.

 

A further six-point deduction was suspended until the end of 2022-23 provided they hit targets outlined in a business plan agreed with the EFL.

Manager Mick McCarthy has left Championship strugglers Blackpool after less than three months in charge.

 

Appointed in January until the end of the season, he managed only two wins from 14 matches in all competitions.

 

A 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff on Friday left Blackpool second bottom of the table, seven points from safety.

No surprise really he was a strange appointment this time last year although I thought he did ok!

 

Noel Hunt is an interesting choice!

Just seen the current state of affairs in Middlesbrough v Norwich - looking like a lively game!

Luton Town strengthened their grip on a Championship play-off place with a dominant performance against Rotherham United at the New York Stadium.

 

After second-placed Sheffield United's win over Cardiff City in the early kick-off, Luton needed three points to keep alive their faint hopes of grabbing the other automatic promotion spot behind Burnley

Reading have been relegated to League One after Huddersfield beat Sheffield United to get the point they needed to secure their Championship survival.

 

The Royals needed the promoted Blades to beat their Yorkshire rivals to take their hopes of staying up to the final day - when they face Huddersfield.

 

Managerless Reading are now four points from safety with one game remaining.

 

Next season will be the former Premier League side's first in the third tier of English football for 21 years.
