    I don't think they've been playing particularly well from what I've seen and read, but they have still managed to win the last 2, and drew with Boro before that.

    Interim till Jan for me. Don’t change something that’s going good, if we go on an unbeaten run until the New Year then he deserves it 100% & should be given the funds to get us a proper striker to go full steam for automatic promotion too

    Personal preference is that he continues as an interim for a bit longer and gets truly assessed.

    But I feel pretty confident that he will be given it if we beat Leicester.

    Hope we dont go for a 2 and a half season deal at this stage though. Maybe offer 18 months with a year extension if promoted?

    Yes, I think that we can have our cake and eat it right now, carry on as we are and if we continue to win then great or if the form drops then go to plan B.
    No need to commit to anything yet.

    Yes, we need to know if TondA also has a TondB.

    If how much he’s paid varies his motivation then he shouldn’t get the job

    (It won’t :bandit: )

    Length of contract doesn't really matter as I bet he's currently being paid peanuts. I bet a three year contract for Eckert will be cheaper than the six month contract we gave Juric.
