Why is this being sneered at?
An example of a sugar daddy bringing huge benefits to the football club. Imagine what could happen at a proper club like ours, instead of a tin pot outfit like Eastleigh.

One promotion only, from NL South. It isn't sneering, it's drawing attention to the fact that huge "investment" doesn't necessarily buy success. I think that if we had £10 million over 6 years, we'd show better results - but the most important bit relates to Easleigh's potential cash problem next season. How are they going to afford the wages of the "overpaid" (his words) players taken on board. Without similar "investment" next season, their £2.5 million loss from this season will either cause them to fold, or dump the players for cheap alternatives - with consequences.
