I have not seen anything having clicked on some of the links, but I thought it was a very positive meeting and the decisions related to player movement and plans for next season explained. Have other people been able to see the recording of the meeting?

Kenny emailed me on Monday to say that the minutes would be on the club’s website in a couple of days. Haven’t seen anything yet.

At the fans forum I thought that Richard Hill explained the situation regarding player movement well.
However the situation between him and Strevens is an intriguing one. Strevens was signed as a player by Hill and played an important part in getting the team promoted and into the playoffs the following season, When Hill became manager of Whitehawk he also signed Strevens as a player. When in 2017 Hill returned to Eastleigh as Director of Football it was his remit to form a new management team the club forward. Hill was initially in the dugout working alongside Andy Hessenthaler and assisted by Ben Strevens, but when Hill and Hessenthaler left the club Strevens assumed the role of manager.
Whereas in 2017 Hill's appointment of Director of Football was made very clear, this time around I did not see it announced publicly anywhere (I someone can find anywhere where this was publicly announced I would be interested to hear from them) and I do not know who was behind the appointment.
I would say that directors are often appointed as part of a new management team or to help the manager to focus principally on on the field activities. If a manager and a Director of football have different views on player recruitment it can make the working relationship very difficult.
