Tindall hoping Cherries complete promotion mission
JASON Tindall admitted he would love to see Cherries achieve what everybody thought was unachievable by earning promotion to the Championship. 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. Their final game in charge almost ended in fairytale fashion when Steve Fletcher headed Cherries into a 54th-minute lead at Colchester United tonight. Two late goals from Steven Gillespie denied Cherries, but Tindall is hoping they can recover and continue their bid for third tier honours. 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. 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. Nothing would please me and Eddie more than to see these lads get success because that is what they deserve. 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. 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. 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. It was an opportunity that we felt was a progression in our managerial careers and that was the decision. It was no other reason.
