14 January 2011 23:06
JASON Tindall admitted he would love to see Cherries achieve what everybody thought was unachievable by earning promotion to the Championship.[LNB] The assistant manager will this weekend complete a move to Burnley with boss Eddie Howe, ending a week of speculation over the managerial duo's future.[LNB] Their final game in charge almost ended in fairytale fashion when Steve Fletcher headed Cherries into a 54th-minute lead at Colchester United tonight.[LNB] Two late goals from Steven Gillespie denied Cherries, but Tindall is hoping they can recover and continue their bid for third tier honours.[LNB] He told the Echo: The lads have been magnificent and they have been such a good bunch. Everybody connected with the football club has been great.[LNB] If the boys can carry on performing the way they have been performing, then hopefully they can achieve what everybody thought was unachievable and get promoted to the Championship.[LNB] Nothing would please me and Eddie more than to see these lads get success because that is what they deserve.[LNB] Tindall, who described his and Howe's 100th and final match in charge as a very emotional evening, revealed it had been an extremely difficult decision to leave the club.[LNB] He added: We've been soul searching and thinking, and this has probably been the toughest decision we have had to make in our footballing careers.[LNB] It has been sad. It's difficult to leave but football is a strange game and it throws things at you when you least expect it.[LNB] It was an opportunity that we felt was a progression in our managerial careers and that was the decision. It was no other reason.[LNB]
