'People don't like it' - Jason Tindall's Champions League message and strong reply to Twitter storm

Newcastle United coach Jason Tindall admits that the Magpies' rise to the Champions League will cause "jealousy" in the football world from rival clubs and fans.

Tindall has been the target of Twitter trolls in recent weeks but has thanked Geordie fans for showing him some love as United rose to the Champions League spots. Yet Tindall, who ended up featuring on Twitter accounts such as Borussia Dortmund and Athletic Bilbao as part of a social media surge to prominence, says he will simply shrug off talk that he tried to hog the limelight from Eddie Howe.

Tindall was the first to pay tribute to Howe and made it clear that the hard work at United starts with the Toon boss. The assistant manager actually was in charge for the first game of the Howe era in the 3-3 draw against Brentford when the ex-Bournemouth chief went down with Covid and watched from his hotel room.
