ASSISTANT manager Jason Tindall insists the successful clearing of financial fair play hurdles will have no bearing on Cherries’ transfer policy.

The Football League today confirmed the club had fully complied with the strict regulations for last season following detailed auditing of financial submissions.

A statement from the league said Blackburn, Leeds and Nottingham Forest had failed to meet the criteria and would be subject to a transfer embargo between New Year’s Day and the remainder of the current campaign.

And while the league also said it was “currently in discussions with a number of other clubs over their FFP submissions”, Cherries have been told they are not among them.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Echo, Tindall said: “There was a lot of talk about financial fair play and we were always confident we would comply.

“It is probably a surprise to a lot of people who seem to think we spend, spend, spend, but the true facts are there for everybody to see.

“Financial fair play is probably a good thing that they brought into football but it won’t affect us.

“It would never change the way we do things because we are not the type of club or management to go out and spend, spend, spend. That is not the way we work and that is not what has brought us the success we have had in recent years.

“We develop players and work hard on the training ground and will continue to do that. We would never go and spend will-nilly or buy players for an amount of money if we felt they were going to be of no value to the football club. That is how we have always done it and that is how we will continue to do it.

Tindall and boss Eddie Howe have been responsible for making some astute signings since they returned to the club from Burnley in October 2012.

However, six members of the Cherries starting line-up from Saturday’s victory over Cardiff were already at the club when Howe and Tindall came back – including the entire back four.

Tindall added: “We are not the type of management that just wants a load of bodies and would always go with quality rather than quantity.

“Firstly, players must have the quality to fit in with the way we like to play and, secondly, they have to have the right attitude and attributes.

“If they have and we feel they are value for money then we would try to buy them. We wouldn’t overpay for anyone and that won’t change.”
