Kinnear has said he will be bringing in his own management team.

"I'm the manager, full stop. I'm in charge of anything to do with football," he said.

"Lil has not left the club. His role at the moment is helping me out, as everybody else is at the club.

"The bottom line is that Luton are in trouble and they've come to me to get them out of trouble and, as from Monday, I will be tested to the full and I'm 100% confident I can do it."

Funds available

Kinnear has been promised funds to dip straight into the transfer market to save Luton - currently seven points adrift of safety - from relegation.

"Money will be made available for me to build the club," confirmed Kinnear.

"Funds are available and so I've got to go and talk to players and convince them that this is the club for them and that the club has a future.

"I'm hoping to get a big response from the players as there's a lot of talented players here."
