Tonda Eckert named new Head Coach

I`m hoping the players show their delight and enthusiasm tomorrow!

 

Tonda is a name with multiple origins and meanings depending on the cultural context. In some Slavic languages, Tonda is a diminutive of Anton or Antonina, which are derived from the Roman family name Antonius, meaning "priceless" or "of inestimable worth."

 

I hope that the Charlton and Leicester performances are more typical than the other 3 but I wish him all the best and hope that the squad all play for him.

I have to say that I feel it is still a big risk to have someone basically learning on the job.

 

He has done well, but should have seen how brum and wba go first

 

You CAN polish a turd.

 

You always could, if you put it in the deep freezer first...

 

Sensible decision with both the performances and results. Also means if things don't work out we can re-assess (again) next summer.

 

Both of us or all three?

 

Hmm, you have some strange hobbies...

Better not mistake it for a choc ice!

 

Once again the cheap left field option by SR. Absolutely ridiculous to think that he can achieve promotion. Did they run it past Captain Jack first?

Another season written off in December

 

Good luck to him. Come on you Saints

 

If we lose today then is he already under pressure?

 

Timing is odd and the pressure is immediately on.

I would be disappointed if there was a stand out more experienced manager who we could have gone for.

But
He has my full support. Good luck Tonda.

 

Its very saints to have an interim manager win 4 on the bounce and then hire him as soon as he loses a game.

 

I would hope the fans would stick with him for quite a while regardless of how the next few go tbh.

I can see SR getting stick again quite quickly though if form tails off massively.

 

You never know but it might just be a good appointment for us. Certainly done alright so far.

 

I like him. No mumbling interviews. Clear, precise, considered statements, no buzzwords, nothing said merely for effect. And he doesn`t call players by nicknames that I`ve noticed - he`s not the players pal.

 

I know you've defended pretty much everything SR have done this year but even you must see how it makes far more sense to wait a week in this scenario than announce it now no? We could be in a such a different situation this time next week if results don't go our way.

All this has done has shown that we sacked Still without even a whiff of a plan as to what to do after and purely have just winged it with the hope that this guy kept winning. And the first time he loses, we hire him, well done SR, genius!

 

This post is so wrong for me. How do you know an 'experienced coach could do better than this ? What about Juric ? What about Pellegrino ? What about Redknapp. Tonda has earned the chance .

The statement about the season being written off if something I would have agreed with you a month ago. I think the play offs are now possible

Sorry , Lincoln, I have to disagree.

 

My feelings are a hybrid of you and Lincs.

It is a cheap left field option. However, at this moment in time (and the foreseeable), probably the best option.

He has earned his chance, but just weird to do it before a game and after a defeat.
