FORMER Bournemouth bosses Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall have this evening been spotted at the Brighton v Newcastle United game.
Tindall, a former Weymouth player-manager, was pictured alongside Howe and Newcastle chief Amanda Staveley, who has led a Saudi-backed consortium's takeover of the club.
Tindall is expected to join the Magpies as assistant with old colleague Howe taking the vacant manager's job at St. James's Park.
It comes after Newcastle missed out on their first-choice target Unai Emery, who preferred to remain at Villarreal.
Howe is thought to be on the brink of being announced as successor to Steve Bruce, who left Newcastle in October.

He is currently priced by some bookmakers as short as 1/20 to fulfil the post, with other companies closing markets on the next Magpies manager.
