[4] Cummins joined Luton Town in July 2007,[5] as Director of Youth Football and spent eight months there before accepting an offer from Toronto FC.

[10] He left the club after the 2009 MLS Season since his wife and children were not able to get working visas in Canada, and moved back to the UK.

In his first extensive interview since leaving Toronto FC, Cummins was quoted as saying, "In every club I've been at, you need to look up top, and you need to ask advice and get their help at times and, I don't think I got that"[11] He went on to say "Johnston interfered with the lineup selection for game days, favouring a three-man defensive unit instead of Cummins' preferred four-man formation.

"The players won't say what they feel when Mo's around," and he went on to say "assistant coach Nick Dasovic was told he was going to be named Carver's replacement before the official announcement made Cummins the interim boss.

Cummins said MLSE chairman and part owner Larry Tanenbaum made a phone call wishing Dasovic well for becoming the first Canadian coach in Major League Soccer"[citation needed] (although Frank Yallop has coached American MLS sides).
