Jatz Fryer Tuck NUFC Tiger any idea on Eastleigh FC in the Conference? Their owner is leading up a consortium to buy us and if anyone knows about that level of English football then it would be one of you three.
Eastleigh have been in the National League for a few seasons now (I prefer Conferance too), and well... after a couple of good seasons, they've just 'been
Bridle Insurance's Stewart Donald has noted that he thought he could spend a lot of money to make progress, but he was wrong once he got to the infamous National League bottleneck. He does seem to be a bit bored with Eastleigh... it should be noted that when he took over the club, he injected 3m into Eastleigh when they were in the tier below and they did expand their stadium.
It's a bit difficult to say how much you guys would actually spend, because most of his players initially were on loans, but in more recent times, they were free transfers. Eastleigh is also a semi-pro club, which does seem to suggest he's probably not that loaded (or maybe he wanted to be pro, but couldn't be bothered afterwards.)
If he does have enough money, I would expect that he would try to get you promoted first time, but the feeling I get is that they are probably a gap-filler until something better comes along.
I hope for your sake that you rebound well, and see what happens.
