Thinking out loud here as I’m not a legal expert when it comes to contracts and obviously we don’t know what is written in Tonda’s. But people are worried about giving him the job until the season ends and then evaluate, in case it is a new manager bounce and he might not handle a few loses etc etc.
But surely, he can have the gig to the end of the season and if then we decide we need someone else, or, he does well and we want to keep him, but people are worried he’ll be poached, wouldn’t he still be under contract with us anyway? That should stop him being poached and he can return to the U21’s or become the new managers No.2 to learn the trade more, with an eye to first team management again in the future?
