Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I love, LOVE, that he's tight as owt as well. Years of splashing out on shite while abusing our transfer policy (which is fair game tbf) is going to seem like paradise compared to what is going to get served up here. I still think they'll piss League One like but that's more due to the league being shite and them being the biggest name in it by a mile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good point, Stewart won’t even give away bottles of water so the free tickets will come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastleigh were promoted to the National League for the first time in their history in 2014 but have been unable to reach the English Football League - despite Donald's attempts to "buy his way out" of the division. Donald has overseen numerous managerial comings and goings during his time as owner, with current boss Andy Hessenthaler their fifth different full-time manager since Richard Hill's departure in 2015. The club's National League campaign came to an end on Saturday, as the Spitfires finished the season 14th in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17281 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 In the mid to late 90s I worked at the Ford Transit van factory in Southampton with a lad who played for Eastleigh. He said they were a bunch of county standard hackers but there was some new money wank stain wth big ambitions in the background. Can only assume it's this chancer. He got Eastleigh from the very bottom rung of semi pro football into the fully pro division 5 of the English football league. Would like to hear who his backers are before I could comment on whether he can do anything with the tramps..but it's fair to say it would appear they're no longer a rudderless pile of utter fuckin shit. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I've had a quick look on rtg and I cannot see a campaign to fill the Stad de Lose this weekend to show the new owners why they are the most loyal in world football.The red to pink to white coloured seats will take some explaining.

Rayvin 5223 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 One thing I can't quite get my head around concerning Short and this paying off the debt fiasco - if he was ready to do this, then it makes the Fish look right about his reluctance to spend in January. If he can afford to stuff an extra £80m or whatever it was into the club to pay off that debt, then why didn't he spend any money to save them... £80m would easily have been enough to get them contending for promotion this season. Although I suppose you have to consider that if it had all gone wrong again he would have had no money to bail them out later. Hard not to see this as a silver lining for them tbh. Debt free for a club that size is like a second lease of life. Once they sell off their loaned out players for about £15m or so, they can presumably funnel all of that straight into recruitment. That'll see them promoted from L1. I don't think they'll be resurgent beyond that tbh, I suspect that the Championship will hold them for a while, but still, administration and further collapse seems to be off the table.

zico martin 89 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I still don't get why short would do this though. Good news for them obviously but it seems too good to be true doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 It's a great result for them but that's obviously relative to being a League 1 club staring administration in the face. He must've been fucking deperate to get rid of them mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
