Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

That BBB quote has come back to bite us.

Under NJ we were led by and attracted men with a work ethic, humility and no excuses. Gradually those heroes have been replaced by weak willed, egos.

Seeing other players go and do well elsewhere shows there is something deeply rotten in the culture of the club now. Aside from chaotic recruitment (players and managers), management styles and selections, there is a worrying defensiveness and ego that has spread amongst the board, staff and players alike.

Yes, expectations are too high from fans sometimes, but fans have every right to be angry and upset with recent years. It’s a shit show. Fans will always be unreasonable and challenging - great leaders rise above it.

There has been an under current of defensiveness for some time. Whether that is programme notes, interviews (when they rarely occur), player reactions to fans, stupid interviews by loan players bleating how hard life is. It absolutely stinks and is being allowed to manifest.

Until the people at the top actually start communicating some accountability, strategy and humility, we’re simply not going to succeed and move forward. It’s been a tough few years for everyone. We need leadership more than ever. Massive reset needed by the board - if you keep doing the same things and trusting the same people, you’ll keep getting the same results!
