I'm not sure that many have said wait and see with Tonda? I know many have said wait and see which managers may become available in the next few weeks. I don't think many at all want Tonda full time.
This. But if in the meantime we win a few games that takes the pressure off a panic manager and we may be able to get who we want.
You could look at it in the opposite way. Seeing if Tonda does well and giving him the job until the end of the season could well be a long term plan. Our choice of managers will likely be much better in the summer. So Tonda seeing us through until then would avoid us having to rush and settle for someone we dont really want.
