Luton boss Rob Edwards insists they're under no pressure to sell this summer.

The Hatters' relegation is set to be confirmed today against Fulham.

Edwards said, "There's no doubt about it, it's the strongest the club has ever been. I can't sit here and promise you that no-one's going to go, but what I can say is we're under no pressure to do that, that's genuine and that's honest. It's got to be right for the football club and if it's a real opportunity for someone to progress then there's conversations to be had, but we are ambitious here and we don't just want to sit still and go backwards.

We want to be back there (Premier League) and the best chance of doing that is by keeping the majority of the group that we've got, so again I can't sit here and say that everybody is going to be here as I haven't got a crystal ball, I don't know, but our aim is to try and keep as many as we can and be in a really strong position.

"It's inevitable there's always going to be a little bit of change, but if we'd have stayed up, that would have been the same. We're in a good position, we're in control of a lot of things, a lot of lads are still under contract, so we do have some control in that and some say in that, but we'll always have to work out what is the best thing for the football club and there is a human side to everything as well.

"We'll be in a really good position, I know that going into next season. Again we'll stress, we do want to keep the majority of the group together and I'm pretty sure we will do that. We don't know what's going to happen, we've got a long couple of months ahead now, a period of time where not much is going to happen I'd have thought and then pre-season begins and things start ramping up a bit, so time will tell.

"We're in a really healthy position to keep doing everything, grow the training ground, the stadium is obviously progressing all the time and a squad of players that I think is constantly improving. My challenge is for us, the recruitment team, board and everyone is to try and have a better squad at the start of next season to what we have, which is difficult but what we've got to try to push to achieve."
