In addition to the manager announcement should we also expect an announcement at the same time on the new owner/chairman and board members and, if so, will this affect who becomes manager.

Probably not, and no.

Same four people still in place as far as ownership goes, chairman and finance director resigned the jobs only.

"Club legend!? Steady, I wouldn't go that far! Yes, performances have improved but they had to. A couple of weeks ago we were being dumped out of the FA cup with one of the most lifeless Eastleigh performances seen in recent years. I didn't think Strevens could manage a boy scout team that day. if he is appointed I personally think it smacks of a cheap, unimaginative decision and I still don't think he's quite ready for it. But if he gets it, good luck to him, I'll give him a fair chance."
Strevs was an integral part of the side that won the NLS and finished 4th in the NL play offs. By far the best all round central midfield player that the club has ever had at his peak. Is then deemed surplus to requirements by RM and really poorly treated considering what he'd done for this club, then comes back because he wants to help the club, in whichever capacity needed for the club to be successful. Last 3 games have been brilliant performances, not sure we can ask much more than that, a change at this time would be counter productive.
Performances didn't have to improve? We could have quite easily lost the last 3 games and would have been favourites to do just that following losses to Aldershot and the dismal FA Cup display. Fact is we got 5 pts, and really that should have been 7. We're 10th in the league, performances are as good as they ever have been in recent times. No brainer for me, give Strevs the job, he's here because he loves the club and he increasingly has the credentials to do as well as anyone. Where did more experience get us before? Do not see the need for change at this stage

As they are retweeting positive Strevens replies suggests that must be the answer for sure.

Pleased to see the photos of Strevs signing. Well deserved appointment but he clearly will need some help - anyone notice a former DOF hanging around on Saturday?

In the press release it says his assistant will be announced later in the week. So probably not a or a former DOF.

Congratulations to Strevs and good luck in the new job!
Obviously he's started to get us playing well again but I agree he'll definitely need some experienced help.
P.S. We also saw a former DOF in the stands on Saturday.

Correct decision, looking forward to Strevs continuing his good work and the team going from strength to strength

Spot on I stand corrected. I believe there were certain machinations around this decision. Best of luck to Ben
