A quote from the Radio Times:

Quote[/b] ]Luton Kicks Off

Shortly after buying Luton Town Football Club for a rumoured £4, property developer John Gurney infuriated supporters by sacking the club's popular manager. He subsequently came up with "Manager Idol", a scheme in which the fans could vote for the manager they wanted. Sounds a good idea, if a bit wacky. But before the phone lines close, we see Gurney discussing contracts with Mike Newell, Hartlepool United's former manager, which suggests the whole thing may be a ploy.

Not only that, but staff aren't getting paid and Gurney seems more interested in his plans to develop the club's prime site next to Luton Airport. Filmed earlier this year, it's an extraordinary and engrossing story of boardroom shenanigans.

Should make interesting viewing! Starts 9.50 on BBC2.
