Could JT and Purches take AFCB's story forward?

With the departure of Eddie Howe still is a raw reminder of how swiftly things can change n football, I wondered if Jason Tindall could become more than a caretaker manager of Bournemouth, perhaps with the support of Stephen Purches as his assistant manager? Jason has been at Eddie's side all the way through since 2008 and it is interesting that he has stayed on when Edie decided to call it a day.
Has Tindall got a different message to get the players performing better?
Jason knows the club inside out and there are a lot of former players at the club serving on the staff such as Stephen Purches and Steve Fletcher that know inside out how Eddie Howe worked with the team. They know the situation with the first team and being on the inside they know a lot of the difficulties that Eddie will have been working to improve over the last few years. If Bournemouth's directors want continuity, this is surely where they have to go.

The fact that the team is now in the Championship takes the spotlight off the manager a little more than if the club had been in the Premier League. But, results will matter and the board will have to work out if Jason Tindall is capable of getting results. They also nee dto consider if there are better options out there who are interested in the job. Jason is the 4/7 on favourite for the position now and it is clear that the club has had an awful lot of turmoil in the past week, so it may be sensible to stop the hurt by appointing Tindall sooner rather than later.

Most of the other contenders from outside the club are at long odds wth Chris Houghton leading the rest of the pack at 6-1. Bournemouth don't look like a big enough club for Pochettino and there aren't many star names, John Terry apart, who are in the top five or six names.

My only worry is that if Tindall is the new manager, will he be his own man? Would we be simply be getting more of the same with Eddie Howe's philosophy? That could be a good thing if we consider the success that Eddie brought the club, but the last season has seen Jason Tindall go through the same run of results as Eddie and he will have done all he could to try and change that sequence while at Eddie's side without any success.

 So, I hope the board think very carefully about the next appointment. Bournemouth fans need a feel good factor. It is a shame that Tommy Elphick isn't looking at manager yet as I think Bournemouth need a character with that kind of leadership and positivity to shake things up after the Eddie Howe era.

 In other news, Artur Boruc rejoins Legie Warsaw.

    Both Jason and Purches hold a UEFA pro license, so let's not under-rate their credentials.

    I would also add Steve Robinson to the list, he too has a UEFA license and just a question of how long Motherwell stay in Europa campaign.

    The case is so much stronger for letting one of our own have a chance. Question is not ,who out there is qualified to get us in PL, but who will get our Bournemouth team playing at our best, our way, so that as supporters we can enjoy it to.

    How about Simon Francis or Charlie Daniels joining management team in a player coach role, like Rooney at Derby ?
