Bielsa got a warning after doing it all season, why would Tonda get anything more for doing it for 3 games?

I'm the opposite. This isn't going away regardless of managerial/staff changes.
I think we embrace it and build a siege mentality. The rest of the league can hate us but we don't care. Tonda is the best man to get us up so f*ck the outside noise and have another go at promotion
I have a burning question about this off season.
WTF is @Libby actually going to do with all this spare time he has without the travelling
Handjobs for sailors down the docks? Earn himself a few quid
I've answered this multiple times - I think it'd be extremely odd for the FA to ignore the precedent cited by the EFL.

Different organisations adhere to different rules. The efl could treat this differently to Leeds because of their updated laws, the FA will have to treat it as the same offence.
I’m with you on this in that I think the FA will ban him but I’m also hoping it may be another one of your “there’s less than 5% chance we get kicked out” moments, and we’re both proved wrong
But the context is different now. Back then there was a reasonable element of saying "I didn't think it was a problem" whereas now there isn't.
Also since then the world organisation has given out bans for this exact action, a precedent heavily leaned on by the EFL and therefore something I can't see the FA ignoring.
I think for an organisation to suddenly start changing punishments for the same offence would require an update to their own laws or principles.
In the same way the legal system works, crimes can be upgraded in severity, and therefore punishment, such as class of drugs. But it can only happen if laws actually change, rather than because "we decided to take this more seriously".
Some of you guys seem to be well into self flagelation. Stand up and face of the EFL and FA and **** public opinion and other clubs loud mouth fans.
Well not really, in the legal system there's a range of punishments for each offence which will depend on multiple factors including severity and mitigating/aggravating factors.
He'll be charged under general misconduct which also has a range of punishments and there's of course different levels of that. Biesla could use a mitigating factor of it being believable that he wouldn't know it was a problem as there wasn't a specific rule against it.
Tonda can't use that, and if there's proof he was pressuring junior staff I'm sure that would be considered an aggravating factor.
We'll find out soon enough anyway (hopefully sooner rather than later) and I hope I'm wrong, but I'd be shocked if the FA ignored a precedent that a competition they effectively sanction leaned heavily on.
Wasn’t it the Olympic coach that got banned for spying? There’s squeaky clean no tolerance approach to rule breaking in the olympics, it has to uphold the highest standards. English football sure as **** doesn’t.
Every other team now, in particular the likes of Boro and Wrexham, are going to be so fired up going up against a Tonda-led Saints. A lot of games will be that extra bit tougher because of this.
Boro yes, but that would be the case whether we sacked him or not. No one else will care, especially as some of them will have done similar at times.
Yeah he is still connected.
Doesn’t post much.
In this the Garner who it was announced is leaving?
