You probably already have an opinion on Jason Tindall. It would be difficult not to. Newcastle United’s assistant head coach is more visible, colourful, confrontational and, for many opposition managers, more annoying than anyone else in the Premier League.
Tindall is in-your-face loud. He will argue and complain on the touchline. He is in the fourth official’s ear and gets under your skin. He is impossible to ignore and, apparently, hard to like if you are on the opposition bench.
There is not another assistant manager like him, but there is one thing you need to know about Tindall, something that fuels him, something that has made him Eddie Howe’s most trusted and loyal companion for 17 years: he “does not give a s---”.
