According to this: https://companycheck.co.uk/director/913720423/MR-STEWART-JAMES-DONALD/summary The net worth of all the Companies he holds is about £8m. Spunked £4m of his own money on Eastleigh. They’d be better off if Shelvey had bought them, in fact there’s a chance Rodwell has more than this bloke.

Here’s a quote from their new owner: “The other day I hit the roof because we were giving out free bottles of water which cost us 10p and the players were only drinking half of it. It’s wastage and I’ve now saved the club £500.”

The best part is they’re all buzzing, they need to open their eyes as in 6 years of ownership the bloke got Eastleigh promoted once and they’ve sat bottom half of the Conference premier since. Short has paid off the debt as a charity and handed them off to the first bloke who would take them iyam, our players probably have more money than this bloke. It’s also possible that Short may have stipulated that he received the future parachute payments in return for his paying off the debt and sellling the club for a quid.

It’s a weird one, they’re all buzzing but I think they’ll soon realize that having your owner pay off all the debt and give them away for,likely, next to nowt to the owner of Eastleigh FC isn’t going to be some exciting next chapter. In one fell swoop they’ve immediately become a proper lower league club. They’re also completely stuck with Rodwell and other high earners now.

They’ve almost immediately took to abusing Short, who has just reached into his pocket and paid the debt when he could have just let them go into administration Classy.

The owner of Eastleigh has took them over.

What a fucking burning pile of shite that club is. Phil Brown next.

Aye it surprised me as well, a potential reason is it took a lot of graft to get us safe as since most the squad lacks in quality they had to graft like fuck and we’ve seen a bit of a hangover effect since we got to safety. It’s still shite to see that sort of drop off and shite to watch but I’m happy with what the squad achieved and just really hope Benitez is allowed to build on his stellar work. When you see how much Gayle, Perez, and Joselu struggle at this level it makes it all the more impressive that Rafa has managed to make it work and drag us over the line. I love seeing other fan bases point and say when it goes wrong we blame Ashley but when it’s going right we praise Rafa, as it’s not contradictory at all, Benitez has done this severely hampered by Ashley if we’d have went into the season with any sort of quality up top we’d have been well clear all season.

Leicester fan in peace about 24 hours after Rafa is linked with that job, right to the Rafa thread on a NUFC forum, and by the 3rd post is bringing up the link

Inter 2-1 up and down to 10 men against Juve, if this stays the same Napoli’s match against Fiorentina tomorrow is going to be a belter. Fucking hell, Juve get two in about 3 minutes to make it 2-3. Puts Juve 4 points clear, I’d like to see Napoli do it but it’s looking slim after that turn around.

I don’t really mind Gayle tbh, just don’t think he’s a good first choice. Agree with Gloom that the tactics have to suit him really, today we needed a target man type as we had him playing with his back to goal and loads of crosses going in, he wasn’t going to do much with that.

Disappointing to watch as the team clearly couldn’t be arsed. Definitely hope we manage to get Kennedy, but aye can’t say I’m too fussed on Slimani.

He is a complete waste of space. Really hope we manage to offload him in the summer.

Aye there’s no real fire or urgency from our lot. That Dawson is a horrible fucking player.

How the fuck has he given a goal kick for that?

This ref is shite like. Yedlin is having a poor game.

WBA’s tactics seem to just be kicking lumps out of us. Fuck off to the Championship where you belong, brummy tramps.

The tactics seem more suited to Slimani the way Gayle is playing with his back to goal and we are putting in so many crosses.

The commentator went “he just caught him on the follow through” not sure what tackle he was watching but to me Livermore just lunged in, got absolutely nowhere near the ball and went right into Ritchie.

Dummett is half asleep today. Fucking horrible challenge by Livermore that

Sloppy finish that from Kennedy, cracking ball through by Ayoze though.

There’s a feel of our lot having the flip flops on a bit here like. Slow to the ball, not a great tempo. Would like to see them finish the season strong even though we are safe.

James McClean is a player I fucking hate. Not because he is in anyway capable as a player, in fact he’s fucking shite, he just looks like a right fucking charver. It helps that he played for the mackems as well. Seeing him have a whinge there ending with him swinging his arm and going “fuck off!” At the ref made him look like a tosser as well, even though loads of players do it

Yedlin continuing his trend of dressing more and more like captain jack sparrow.

Aye, Catterick was mint. I got it on dvd off a relative for xmas yonks ago
