Eddie Mitchell is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I've watched and worked with Eddie and Jason and it doesn't take much to see that their heart and belief are in the job. Their focus is there for all to see and that is reflected by the position we are in. I know football managers are reliant on their players as well but, to get the best out of people, you have got to be seen to be dedicated yourself and both Eddie and Jason are very dedicated guys. In my opinion, in time, I imagine they may outgrow the club. As a team and as individuals, they are both focused and dedicated and I just feel that somebody will come in for them and take them further than perhaps Bournemouth can. I wouldn't stop anybody progressing, that's for sure, but I wouldn't want to lose them either, that's another definite. If that time were ever to come, we would have to weigh up where we were but I can see it happening in the future. I would love Eddie and Jason to remain here in the long term. They are both local and we couldn't wish for anybody better. It's easy for people in charge to sit back and let others do the work but I don't see that in either Eddie or Jason. They are always among the first ones to work and the last ones to leave and are great assets to the club".
