Luton Town manager Mike Newell will meet with the club's board of directors when his controversial weekend comments will be discussed.
The Hatters boss slammed lineswoman Amy Rayner after Saturday's 3-2 defeat against QPR and criticised his chairman Bill Tomlins.
A statement on the Championship club's official website read: "The board of directors of Luton Town Football Club have met today (Monday) to consider the comments made by the manager, Mike Newell, in the post-match press conference at last Saturday's game versus Queens Park Rangers.
"The club disassociates itself totally with the sexist comments made by him, which have no place in this club and are completely unacceptable.
"Representatives of the board will be meeting with the manager as a matter of urgency to ask him to explain his comments and other criticisms.
"Until this meeting has taken place the club will make no further comment."
