Richard Hill Departs Eastleigh
Richard Hill has left Eastleigh with immediate effect after being in charge of the Spitfires after just 10 months in charge.
Hill who has vast coaching experience after a playing career cut short by a knee injury has decided to leave the club after an altercation with a local fan in a nearby pub.
The fan aged 26 was unhappy due to the lack of communication between him and the fans after another season ended with defeat in the play-offs.
Hill who is known for his lack of communication skills engaged in a heated argument with the fan after what friends describe as him
'having a few too many'. The argument then escalated into a brawl and the fan had to be taken to hospital with serious injuries.
A statement was then released by the club earlier today to announce the news.
"It is with our regret that Richard Hill has left the club by mutual consent. We would like to thank Richard for all of his work while he was at the club and we wish him the best in the future".
Many fans are happy that Hill has left the club and many have taken to forums to greet the decision.
Another statement was released after announcing that the search for a new manager was one and that they hope to have a new manager announced before the start of pre seasons in three weeks time.
The Non-League paper has declared that Gresley manager Garry Norton could be favourite to take the job at the Silverlake but Eastleigh need a new manager sooner rather than later.
