Luton boss Rob Edwards can't see himself matching Roy Hodgson's longevity.

Luton meet Hodgson's Crystal Palace today.

Asked if he felt he would be in Hodgson's position in another 35 years time, he said: No chance, no way, I just don't think I love it as much as him!

There's times where I'm thinking, what I am doing in this job? There is!

All I read this week is why hasn't there been a Premier League manager sacked yet? I'm thinking, great.

"You have to have thick skin in this job and I get it, I know there's not as much pressure on me, but no, no.

Crystal Palace, get through that game and then we'll see. Hopefully survive until next week, success is survival I think now.

I just don't anticipate me being in it that long. I'd love to be in the game, but I just think I've got other things to give and just don't know if I'm going to be doing this role forever.

"I love coaching the under nines, the enthusiasm and the love they show for it and the fun that they have, I think it's great.

I'm going to keep my head down and keep working hard to try and stay in it as long as I can. If that's a year, two years, 10, 15 then great, but I just don't see me doing it at 76. Hopefully I'm alive at 76!"
