The "Bulut to Turkey" rumour mentioned on the board may or not be true. I suspect Bulut may be using some friends in Turkey to start agent rumours to test how secure his role is here with Tan. Or, Tan and Dalman may be stalling and perhaps it is true. Who knows? Either way, if Luton were to be relegated would Edwards be a good option?
Why He May Not Be in Demand, Or Willing To Leave
Let's face it, there is unlikely to be a queue of Premiership clubs bidding for him as he has relegated them, and doesn't have a proven track record in that division, so he represents a huge risk. Equally, the Championship clubs around us with money at the top of the table already have European coaches with a good track record, or will be going up. So I don't see high-level Championship clubs gunning for him either. The only reason I can think he would stay is that the parachute money would give him a good competitive advantage in the Championship and probable chance of going back up, but that is predicated on them wanting to keep him in the first place.
Why Would He Come Here?
Luton is also a club with a rubbish stadium in a rubbish town - it cannot be an uplifting role. It is a pretty ugly place. Cardiff is a city a lot of people come to love so that could be a pull. People often play the "Welsh" card. True his parents were Welsh so he feels Welsh, but does he have any strong affinity to South Wales? If so, a pull. A good stadium. Downsides here are obvious in that we are poorly organised and led, and the player budget isn't likely to be a pull. But if he can promote youth, he is he man to introduce a high tempo passing game. He is also a man that can do it on a tight wallet so the profile fits. Some decent reasons there.
Is he also financially viable within our coach budget? If Luton are relegated and it is financially viable, then would he be a reasonable target?
