| Tonda sacked in the next few days? on 13:32 - May 21 with 2960 views | shotters | If he's banned, along with anyone else, I would imagine we'll be firing them for gross misconduct and not have to pay any severance Need to save as much money as possible, I would image that KC's bill for yesterday will be eye wateringly expensive |  |

I would imagine it would be an actual sacking for gross misconduct as opposed to the usual use of the word sacking in terms of managers when it actually just means relieved of duties but continuing to be paid. |  |

| Tonda sacked in the next few days? on 15:10 - May 21 with 2652 views | dirk_doone | "Not a big issue" Bielsa won the Championship with Leeds the following season, and was named Championship Manager of the Year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo https://www.skysports.com/foot Even with the new 72-hour rule, the moralising and double standards are ridiculous. |  |

Spot on. Bielsa had worse record on spying but stayed in his job and got Leeds promoted the next season. On Talksport today Jordan and their guest lawyer were both saying the punishment was ludicrous in respect of the Leeds decision in 2019. They were talking a £10m fine as appropriate. Keep Tonda and everything together as much as possible. Any Championship manager that can beat Arsenal and scare the pants off Man City (without cheating) is worth fighting to keep. |  |

The reason he gets called that is because most people suspect that he's a Pompey fan. He masks it well, but at times like this he lets the mask slip, |  |

Leeds did it when a rule didn't exist which is the big difference. Eckhart must be an utter moron to have allowed this to go on. Are you really saying we shouldn't sack him? We've no choice, he's going to get a lengthy world wide ban from the game from the FA so if we kept him we would have most of next season with another manager anyway. |  |

I agree to a point with TE BUT The decision will be taken out of our hands, the FA want blood and to show how tough they are against any sort of wrong doing. Saints are the perfect club to do this to. The court of public opinion has ruled that we're cheats of the worst kind in the history of football and must be punished accordingly. He'll get a lengthy ban, probably at least a year and will probably go back to Germany and get another job when that's ended [Post edited 21 May 15:40]

If he does get a ban find a way of using him as a consultant and then bring him back when the bans expired. We'll probably have another unless coach anyway with our record. There is a way round everything. |  |

Pat has just made the first point I was going to make Also worth bearing in mind the players view in all of this I would imagine the first team squad are pretty pissed off right now, are those who are still here going to want to work with him anymore? As we saw with Will Still, if the players don't like or rate you, you aint gonna last long |  |

Can the FA ban him world wide? He's not even a British national unless there is a unilateral agreement between all associations through FIFA |  |

Which there is. All bans from national governing bodies are applicable everywhere. |  |

I'd guess the players are pissed off with him, but they recognise that he beat and matched Arsenal and City (without cheating). For the first time in years they played under a coach that got nearly every decision right and they fought for him. He can bring them success again or we throw the dice with another journeyman. |  |

you guess the players are peed off? I think it's safe to say they ARE mighty peed off. I doubt hardly any of them would want to play under Tonda again (unless they knew about it) and that's why his position is untenable. |  | |  |
