Season summary

After a poor start to the 2007–08 season, the club entered administration on 22 November 2007; Pinkney stated he would fund the club's overheads, while ten points were deducted. Meanwhile, the FA probe on transfer irregularities dragged on, described by Pinkney as "a storm in a teacup".[1][2] Blackwell was sacked by the administrator on 15 January 2008, to be replaced by former player Mick Harford.[3][4][5] The club subsequently entered the custody of the Luton Town Football Club 2020 consortium.[6] Luton were relegated to League Two on 12 April, following a 2–1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion;[7] Luton finished the season in bottom place.[8][9]
