He comes accross as slightly autistic to me and absolutely obsessed/ single minded about football. Which isn't a bad thing as a manager tbf. Would be fascinating to see what he's like away from the game. I bet it consumes his life and I'm surprised he has time for anything else.

Like kids 😉? But yes definitely autistic which (like you say) isn’t a bad thing.

He is 33. It is ridiculous how good he is.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Top three for win percentage in the UK in the last twelve months, so I’ve been told

[Lighthouse]

He's now been manager for one year, Still was sacked following a 0-2 home defeat by PNE on November the first. Since then we've lost one league game at St Mary's, against Hull in January. Happy anniversary Tonda!

That was our shifty run of games where people were doubting Tonda.

I was watching Benjamin Blooms video about the best two Championship teams this year, Boro and Saints. He worked out that since Tonda was appointed, Saints have something like 2.3 points per game. Extrapolated out over a whole season and Saints would have the highest ever points total in the Championship. 

Hopefully Tonda keeps it going, gets us promoted and becomes a Saints legend.

If you want a laugh on the first anniversary of Tonda's appointment , look back st the first few pages of this thread. Hilarious. I was as annoyed with the appointment as everyone else and cannot believe how it has all evolved. Let's hope his second year is as good as Tonda's first year.

Yes, I had to have a quick check to re-assure myself I'd not said just how poo appointing him was as I certainly thought that.

Of course things have taken an even more bizzare turn than any of us could've thought. But the guy can coach and can manage players.

Now I want to see the forced grimace on a EFL rep as he awards Tonda a manager of the month trophy or indeed champ' manager of the year just to see the Middlesborough forums explode.

And for Tonda to accept on behalf of the analysis team 😂

Its too early for I told you so's......but boy am I glad the owner isn't as emotive and reactionary as the majority of our fanbase.

They really need to tie him down with a new contract. The longer it goes on the more worrying it becomes.

You would think that after the board backed him through this whole saga, he wouldn't jump ships at the first opportunity that comes. Especially as there is a decent chance Palace/Saints could be swapping positions come next season.

I don't mean Palace specifically but clubs are going to at least enquire if we haven't tied him down.

FAB has been assured he's only a temporary cover.

He also took us to FA Cup SF, including wins against 2 PL teams (and not just any PL team, the Champions).
