To get me to leave that really needed something special and the people at Luton were fully aware of that.As soon as I spoke to Peter and John and heard their vision and listened to what they want to achieve, I knew this was a step that I wanted to take.This is a club with wonderful tradition, it has a Premier League structure in every regard, baring the league this year of course.He added: I believe I am an appointment for the long-term here, I want to win games and I want to instil a culture and a philosophy that people are going to really get behind and be proud of.
