Sweet expects Brabin to stay at Kenilworth Road

Both parties have had some time out and taken stock following Hatters’ penalty shoot-out play-off final defeat to AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

But Sweet is confident that Brabin will be at the helm next term despite Luton’s heartbreaking loss at Eastlands.

He said: “Everybody was deeply emotional after that.

“We will brush ourselves down.

“When I went into the office on Monday it was the start of something new not the end of something old.

“The whole club believes that now. We are focusing on 2011-12.

“One thing I’ve learned is you can’t discuss serious terms in contracts and commitments to each other when you are in an emotional state.”

The Town supremo believes the fact that neither side has made any kneejerk reaction speaks volumes about the positive relationship that exists between both them.

Sweet added: “It’s imperative we’ve given each other a couple of days to wind down and think a bit more logically.

“That’s not to say there’s any second thoughts from our point of view.

“I want Gary Brabin to be our manager and Gary Brabin wants to stay at Luton.

“He is not a greedy fellow. We may well be willing to offer more than he would expect.

“When we offer something to Gary we know he has made that commitment and he knows he has made that commitment.

“Knowing we’ve left it a couple of days means we feel comfortable with each other.

“It’s a great relationship.”
