I read that he has been the 'owner' of Eastleigh for six years. Their rise up the pyramid started before then, but I'm guessing that it's the same person and he was bankrolling them before actually taking control of the club. They have stalled in the last couple of seasons and I suppose has eventually tired of it all.
To be fair they have spent a load on the ground while he has been there. Mrs Brainbocs and I went there once for a Wessex League game around 1992 when her parents lived nearby and there was a bikeshed-type cover behind goal and that was it.
