I'm convinced because it would be weird to ignore the precedent cited by a league the FA effectively sanction.
I hope we release a statement detailing our view the sanctions were entirely disproportionate and that we are keeping the Manager on.
I mean it is an interesting point of view, how can Tonda be banned - what only from the EFL but not other leagues - makes no sense and from an employment tribunal perspective I'd imagine the EFL could be in danger there.

Would be nice to know when the FA might end their investigation and communicate an outcome...
You'd think they would at least communicate the timeline to the club even if not publicly.
This is what I’m thinking is the reason for the silence. Club have been told the FA investigation won’t take long so waiting for that to be announced rather than just releasing a placeholder type announcement
You'd think/hope that's the case but that does require the assumption that the club is competent...
“With a little bit of luck… Tonda makes it through the fight!”
“Ta na ni, ta na ni, ta na ni, ta na Tonda woiii!”
Gibbo hasn't made his decision yet so we just need to be patient
It’s probably more likely they’ve all gone on holiday for a couple of weeks as planned before this all happened
Most of us think it's likely because in the club hearing the independent panel referred to the case of the Canadian Women's team when they decided our punishment. In that case several members of staff, including the head coach, were banned from all football for a year. It would be odd for the FA to ignore what happened then when this other panel have made it an important part of why they gave us the punishment they did. They may also agree with the panel that doing this during one of the most high profile EFL competitions is an aggravating factor and I think they will probably also decide that another aggravating factor is Tonda putting pressure on junior members of staff to do things they didn't want to do and shouldn't have been doing.
Did the FA punish Bielsa at all? I cant recall them doing so but may be wrong.
Tonda has done it for 3 games, Beilsa for an entire season, so his punishment likely wont be as harsh anyway
200k fine paid for by himself
Edit: sorry that was EFL - don’t think any FA sanctions
It would be a surprise if Tonda got punished then given he is being investigated for the same action for which the FA let Bielsa off with.
Not looked but did the FA even investigate Bielsa?
If they didn’t then seems odd they’d even be doing a seperate investigation
