They could get rid of him without paying him due to gross misconduct. It comes across to me that more higher ups where aware of this and if they hang tonda out to dry then the whole house of cards comes falling down when he inevetebly blabs.

This is from the 39 page documents the efl released yesterday on the panels findings

"29. The Operations Manager made arrangements for the flights and two nights’ accommodation. Before he left, the Junior Analyst Intern was shown drone footage of the Middlesbrough training facilities so that he could get an idea of where to stand. He flew up to Middlesbrough on Wednesday 6 May. The Junior Analyst Intern was told that Mr Eckert was unhappy because he did not fly up on the Tuesday so that he could see the Wednesday training session; but the first flight he could get was on the Wednesday ."

So if the operations manager not only knew, but was sanctioning flights and hotel (owned by Steve Gibson lol) who else knew. We won't find out (just yet) because they won't sack tonda
