Luton Town’s owners have been urged to take action in the January transfer window and plough investment into the playing squad to prevent what could become a potential battle against relegation.
The prospect of the Hatters finding themselves in a scenario where the potential threat of relegation to the third-tier of English football can be discussed would’ve been inconceivable before the start of the 2024/25 Championship campaign, which they appeared to have been heading into in the best health of all three newly-relegated sides from the top-flight.
Of course, though, the reality after 13 matches couldn’t be further from that school of thought. While Burnley and Sheffield United, who both finished below the Hatters in the Premier League, are contending for promotion and appear poised to remain in the reckoning all year long, Luton are at the wrong end of the table.
They’ve won just three of their first 13 games back in the Championship and have lost the joint-highest number of matches too, facing defeat on seven occasions.
With just a sole victory over local rivals Watford in their last seven outings, Luton are only above 22nd-placed Plymouth Argyle on goal difference and evidently need to take action when the January transfer window rolls around.
Luton Town owners urged to invest in playing squad January 2025
We asked our Hatters fan pundit, Finley Cannon, whether he believes that the owners will back the team and invest in the squad in the next window.
According to Finley, with the club’s precarious position at present in mind, they don’t have much of a choice.
“I think the injury crisis and defence that we’ve had for what is now a second season running means the owners have to back us in January,” Finley explained to Football League World.
