Squad close to completion, but goal-scoring Eastleigh favourite Forbes moves on
A month after the 2009/10 season drew to a conclusion, where the Spitfires finished 12 points adrift of the playoff places to claim a mid-table finish; Eastleigh's preparations for the new campaign is well under way.
Director of Football Dave Malone released the following statement on the club's messageboard.
"We are now close to completing our squad for next season.
"As two players we have agreed terms with are not free agents until June 1st - we can not confirm their signings until after that date. We can assure you that they are both established players, at BSS level (and above!).
"In contrast, we have not retained Ian Oliver and Andy Forbes - we would thank both players for their contribution to the Club, and wish them well for the future.

"We are still negotiating with a small number of players - but hope to conclude our squad in the very near future.
"One point that supporters should bear in mind is that the Board has approved a budget that is substantial, but not beyond our projected means. It is obvious that many, many Clubs are placing their entire future in jeapordy by spending more than they generate. It is not the intention of the Board of Eastleigh Football Club to do likewise.
"Therefore, we trust that you will understand that the Manager has to operate within strict financial guidelines and thus not always able to sign all of the players he might wish to. We are of the opinion that the long term future of the Club is more important than short term progression.
"More player news when applicable."
