Season summary

A successful start to the season saw Luton fifth after thirteen games, sparking hopes that Luton could challenge for a return to the top flight. However, defender Sol Davis suffered a stroke on the team bus on the way to play Ipswich Town.{{cite news | access-date = 21 May 2009 | access-date = 21 May 2009}} Six straight losses after the match at Ipswich dragged Luton down to 20th, and by the end of February, Luton, by now a shadow of the side that had won promotion to the Championship only two years before, were hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.{{cite web |access-date=21 May 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090906075044/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/luton-town/2006-2007 |archive-date=6 September 2009

Newell was sacked on 15 March 2007, and two directors, Martin King and Liam Day, resigned from the board as a result.{{cite news |access-date=10 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003081018/http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10372~997378%2C00.html |archive-date=3 October 2011 |access-date=10 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003081049/http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10372~997847%2C00.html |archive-date=3 October 2011 | access-date = 13 May 2009}} |access-date=21 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206031334/http://www.soccerbase.com/managers2.sd?managerid=1907 |archive-date=6 December 2008 |url-status=live

11 April saw chairman Bill Tomlins resign his position following an investigation by the Football Association into irregular payments made by the Football Club's parent company, and confirm that illegal payments had been made to incoming players' agents.{{cite news |access-date=10 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003081128/http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10372~999353%2C00.html |archive-date=3 October 2011 | access-date = 10 October 2008}} David Pinkney was confirmed as new chairman two days later, also acquiring a controlling interest in the club's holding company.{{cite news | access-date = 22 May 2009}} Luton's relegation was confirmed a week later in a 1–0 defeat away to Derby County.{{cite news| title = Nyatanga sends Luton down and lifts Derby into second place | access-date = 22 May 2009 |access-date=10 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003081154/http://www.lutontown.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10372~1010670%2C00.html |archive-date=3 October 2011
