I have gradually changed my opinion; initially, it seemed clear cut, he has to go. Now, the whole thing has become less clear-cut. In hindsight, Gibson and his cronies were clearly out to manipulate the situation to his/their advantage, and with the aid of the friendly northern media, blew everything out of all proportion to the offence. Yes, what Tonda did was wrong, but I am personally more concerned with the bullying of junior staff. Kicking us out of the playoff final was clearly bloody ridiculous. A fine and a points deduction were the obvious penalties, but we are where we are.
The whole thing may be taken out of our hands anyway if the FA decide to ban Tonda and possibly others.
