"There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter."
"Which luckily I am."
- Mike Blandinio on his appointment as Manager of Blue Square Premiership side Luton Town FC - July 2012.
Competition History under Blandinio's stewardship
2012/13 - Blue Square Bet Premier - 9th
2013/14 - Blue Square Bet Premier - 1st
2014/15 - Npower League 2 - 5th (P)
The Background:
The Luton board took quite the gamble when they made an offer of employment to former Professional Footballer Mike Blandinio, a known gambler, womaniser, and part time horticulturist.
In his first year in charge performances fell far below expectation; The fans wanted his head, and only a sealed envelope containing compromising photographs of the Chairman's favourite past-time gave Blandinio the second chance he so desperately needed.
Two years down the line with back to back promotions The Hatters are about to begin life in Npower League 1, the journey hasn't been easy, but with hard work, dedication and the occasional back hander, who knows where it may lead.
I invite you to join me, as we venture further down the rabbit hole.
