The new owners of English League Two members Luton Town aren't too happy with the latest point reduction handed down by the Football League:
The club will now start the new Coca-Cola League Two season on -30 points, having already been deducted 10 points last month by the FA for breaching rules over payments to players' agents. But Stephen Browne, a director of the club's new owners LTFC2020, believes the Hatters are again being punished for the previous mismanagement of the club. In a statement released via the club's official website he said: 'It's quite clear that we have made a mistake. We placed our faith in the footballing authorities. We have tried to do everything openly and honestly. 'Obviously the very clear message from both the FA and Football League is that doing such a thing is a total waste of time. 'Once again, the club suffers from the mismanagement of the past. Once again the faithful supporters are left high and dry. Once again a policy of honesty is not at all recognised by the football authorities who claim they want to clean up the game. 'Once again the Football League fail as who was it that cleared the previous owners as 'fit and proper' owners in the first place?'
Unless these points reductions are reduced or overturned we will likely see the Hatters (who were playing in the League Championship just two seasons ago) out of the Football League and in what is now called the Blue Square Premier---the old National Conference in the 2009-10 season
