Just seen on his Twitter he is definitely leaving Eastleigh. Looks like Solihull Moors is a likely destination going by the comments which I’m finding hard to believe, how can they offer him better than what we could if that is the case?!

If that is true I would be very surprised.

So following the contracts offered the first player to depart is Paul McCallum. Had a great season so this was to be expected.
Equally though that is his best season yet in football following a number of moves so hopefully he doesn’t live to regret that decision.
Wish him the best of luck

Yeah I don’t believe it either, just moors fans stirring the pot it seems. I do wonder if the tweet about a manager not offering you as much as you expected was about someone like orient rather than Eastleigh.
We will need a minimum of 2 new strikers I was fairly disappointed with Williamson’s finish, agree with most on here that I was surprised they offered him a new deal but maybe is the case we’re not going to get anyone better!

If Williamson is our main striker next year, we are going to struggle. There is no way on earth he will score the 20+ goals we need. I would love to be proven wrong, but I just can't see it.

Who says Ben Williamson is staying? He might be offered a contract but find he can get more elsewhere. Why think/suggest he'll be our main striker? Strevs has yet to sign a new contract. Just because we have a list of players who will be offered new contracts, doesn't mean any of them will stay. Everything is very much up in the air atm. A long way to go before any sort of squad comes into fruition.

Signs for Solihull Moors. Very disappointing surely we could offer or matched them. Shows how poor are finances are now there is no unlimited chest.

I would have thought he would have interested league clubs. Although Solihull had a much smaller average attendance and probably have similar resources, they have ambitious owners, we don't.

Yeah to leave us to go to a smaller club is worrying. When did they suddenly get rich anyway, I know they had a good season but still! And have you been to their ground, it’s like a local rec!

As many will be thinking I agree that its a suprise he has signed for Solihull.
Don't know what their finances are like. Lets hope we can unearth another decent goalscorer from somewhere!

Smaller ground, guessing they’ve only just turned from part time to full time, the past two seasons they’ve been battling relegation and we’re probably odds on favourite to go down during that phase. Then out of nowhere they have a miraculous season which is fair play I suppose. But like I say if they have got rich backers I wasn’t aware of it and didn’t think they’d be able to offer a lot more money than what we could. Also average attendance in the league 1,274 for someone challenging for the title that’s small. I think if Eastleigh were up in the top 3 the whole season we’d get 2k
