A Reason to be cheerful

Image
Even in such a modern fast-moving world, there are not many industries to rival football for the speed with which circumstances can change. Nevertheless, during the course of the last four years, a lot has happened to Jai Reason. The 23 year-old, the chief creative spark in Eastleigh’s ever improving team under the charge of Richard Hill, arrived at the Silverlake in the summer of 2012. In keeping with what had been a turbulent recent period in Jai’s football life, Ian Baird, the manager who had brought him to the club, was removed from his post with the new season only weeks old. Having taken the decision to step down from playing Conference Premier football with Braintree Town, it could have made for an unsettling period for one of the Spitfires’ marquee signings. ‘It happens in football. You get different managers at different clubs and, at that particular point in time, the club wasn’t going in the direction that the chairman wanted it to go and it’s entirely up t

One year in the job for Hill

Image
Daily Echo article by Wendy Gee IT was a year ago yesterday that Richard Hill was appointed manager of Eastleigh. And what better way to celebrate 12 months in charge than leading his side to Maidenhead United tomorrow in pole position in the Skrill Conference South. It hasn’t always been plain sailing for the former Northampton Town and Oxford United player, who cut his managerial teeth as right-hand man to the likes of John Gregory, Brian Little and Andy Hessenthaler in the professional game. Still hung over from a poor start to last season, the Spitfires looked more like relegation fodder than promotion material when they plunged second-to-bottom on January 5 this year. But Hill’s decision to draft in quality defensive reinforcements transformed their season and, having unluckily lost on penalties in May’s play-off semi-final at Dover, Eastleigh are well placed to go all the way this time. “Have I enjoyed my year at Eastleigh? I’ve loved it,” said Hill.
