      Just come out and say we're sorry, we've totally fucked up the playing side of the club for the last two and a bit years but we've learnt some harsh lessons and will be much better next year. Enjoy your summer.

          So staying up last season and getting into the play offs this season would have been success?

            Yeah, not a lot of substance there

            Nothing about what will change and the nature of that.

            Developing the process? Foundations reinforced? What does that mean? Intent on improving? Improving what exactly? How will things improve? Crossing our fingers and hoping for the best? It's meaningless

            What and where is the plan? Yes, PC is great (despite huge concerns about the debt and how long it's taking) but what is the plan on the football side? Where/what are we hoping to be in 10 years?

            People wonder why the club get stick when they DO say something - and I get that sometimes the club can't win - but when it's just a lot of nothing and deflection, the criticism is deserved

              Yep.

              Just word salad with zero accountability once again.

              I totally get why they've focused on the positives(amongst the guff) but a little bit of humility by thise on the gravy train would go a long way.

              Anyway, no surprises really. Let's just hope they let Jack take the lead for the transfers and we can all look forward to our big Derby at MK filled with optimism.

                  If we're doing well, it'll be about 5k in away end. If we're doing shit, it'll be about 2.5k.

                  I very much doubt their multi millionaire owners will give 2 shits about a handful of luton refusing to buy tickets.

                    Plus, Wimbledon don't seem to have any qualms about selling shit loads of tickets at MK. So, why should we feel guilt?

                    I probably wont bother but if people want to go, I won't go all judge-y

                      It's nothing to do with guilt. Anyone can do whatever they want. I don't even acknowledge they are a legitimate football club, let alone consider ever setting foot inside their stadium. That's my personal opinion and each person is entitled to their own. The poll I did on Saturday suggests about two thirds agree with me and about one third disagree. Have you got any suggestions for the topless half time bints for next season please mate?


                      outlaws is not the barometer of sanity. You're either Luton full tilt or you are nothing. We have spunked way too much money on shite. The end.

                        A poll on outlaws isn't something I'd take seriously. Especially given the amount of wankers that post on here thinking they're holier than thou.

                        A few years ago, I wouldn't have stepped near MK. That all changed when Wimbledon turned up in their thousands.

                        Besides, now we've wasted all the money and MK have very rich owners prepared to spend, there's a good chance they'll only be with us for 1 season before moving up again so might aswell tick another ground off whilst there's the chance.

                          Each to their own bbb mate. The only way I could acknowledge them is if they voluntarily joined tier 9 and worked their way up the divisions which is what they should have done from the start.

                          Oh, it is about guilt. The holier than thou will try and tell those who do go that they're terrible people

                          I think a poll on outlaws isn't especially scientific PFTP, mate, so I'll take that result with a pinch of salt. A poll which only surveys over 40's, which is this board's audience, can't be taken seriously. As I say, I won't bother but if my eldest wants to go with his mates, I won't try and stop him

                          If you got topless girls at half time would you try and knock one out there and then, mate? If so, I hope you don't sit/stand near me

                        I think the answer is every club in the league hope to win the Premier one day .

                        The plan is to try and get good affordable players that can play together, the same as every club.

                          Fuck, that is a laughable response

                          Do you remember that we had a vision/plan back in 2008? What was in that plan? Something realistic that we could all get behind, relate to and measure against

                          Most organisations have these things called 'strategies'/ Including sports organisations. Otherwise you find yourself directionless, lumbering and clueless on whether you're on the right track or not

                          Your 2nd line - yeah, good one. So, how come recruitment has been, largely, such a shambles over the last 5 windows?

                          What do you take from that statement? Apart from blind faith

                            I was being a bit facetious, but let's be honest everyone has one aim and that's to do their best.

                            Recruitment was hit and miss but most fans from every club would say the same.

                            JW hopefully will have his ideas and he did well with Palmer and Lawrence.

                            Can you remember the detail from 2008? ,I can't, but I'm sure it will be something a long the lines of .
                            We hope to reach x next season and then X within 2 seasons after.
                            It's all just aspirational words that every club have.

                              Yes, I was one of the first people to see it and thought it was great. Bravo Gary and Stephen. And it wasn't just the 'what'. There was stuff on the 'how' too which is as important

                              I'd rather have aspirational, inspiring words to get behind than stuff about 'improving the process' and 'reinforcing foundations'. Absolutely meaningless

                                I said on here since the start of the season that we need to have a "Vision 2030" a la MBS in Saudi. Those words could be equally meaningless, but at least it is an objective and a strategy.

                                I fear that we'll just keep continuing to tread water aside from the stadium (which sounds disingenous from me as clearly that is huge progress in itself).

                                I was saying to someone on Saturday night after the game that the directors need to put their hands in their pocket once again. There has been no new equity into LTFC 2020 Ltd since 2016 and those shares are currently worth way more than then.

                                Considering we are in L1 and have a huge drop in revenue next season, I don't think we have much of a choice to do that.

                                Also, screw the financial rules that are coming in. Use our financial muscle if we have it. Try and circumvent every rule that's there. The bigger clubs just continue to disregard it.

                                  They are of course providing meaningless statements as it's been another season of failure according to Gary's own measurement.
                                  Anything less than play off's was deemed a failure but as expected, zero accountability for that failure from the top and complete silence from the board.

                                  We should seriously aim to win the FA cup every season until we have actually done it.

                                    I agree! Longer term. Currently it is not realistic

                                    But we probably need some kind of plan/vision to get us to a place where winning the FA Cup (or League Cup if that still exists in the 2030s) that is a realistic aim

                                    The club have done it before. I'm only talking about us repeating 2020's own practice, which seemed to work a treat

                                    We've had such an awful 2 season, we've been set back years so we need to reset, re-focus and re-organise

                                      Domestically it's just the FA cup and the Premier League we have left to win, and the FA cup is the most romantic and likelier of the two.

                                      I don't count the charity shield or the League Trophy.

                                        Even if you do count them, we've already won the league trophy twice and could only win the charity shield (I still think of it by that name as well) by winning one of the other two first (unless someone else won the double).

                                  It most certainly wasn't me, for clarity. Despite what some cranks and creeps have previously and continue to imply*. Reads to me very much like GS with the comms team

                                  *could be infer: over to jimmyp for that one!

                                    They probably infer it from what's gone on and go on to imply it by what they say.

                                    A bit of a word salad really. May as well have saved the ink.

                                    I did expect however that the narrative would be that the Vertu Trophy win would be used to shield what has ultimately been a failed season.

                                        Gemini or Co-pilot probably.

                                        Reading that certainly added to my breakfast....all waffle.
