According to the Eastleigh manager, Reda was offered a pay as you play contract by championship and league one clubs, Eastleigh were the only club offering a 1yr contract so thats why he signed

Well that suggests he ain't got much faith in himself to stay fit!

And it sounds like he is using them to get fit, which he won't.

I clicked on this thread fully expecting it to say he's been injured

Weird, weren't people on Twitter insisting the club were mad for not offering a pay as you play deal as he'd surely accept?

Exactly, as did others.

Can't be true, eastleigh must have offered a higher weekly wage than us, Don said so.

He hasn't got a 1 year deal has he?

 

[Captain Dart]

Would you believe David Pipe plays for Eastleigh too.

[SkyblueBazza]

At the end of the day...like it or not Red is now just another in a long line of fairly short term ex-CCFC players. Did a good job & now he's moved on.

...onwards & upwards PUSB

Can't believe he is only 32, I thought he was nearly 40

1yr deal with option of a further year

Did I?
Or did I just say they will be paying him high wages for a club like Eastleigh and that MV said TM would like to sign him but Reda has to lower his expectations in terms of wages and contract length

Yes

TM wanted to sign him but said his wage expectations was too much.
So they are paying him more than we were prepared to.
At that level then relatively they are throwing it at him.

A few of us said it was more likely the type or length of contract not necessarily thr weekly wage. You were having none of it and tried to big up the wage aspect. Yes, Eastleigh will be paying him well for non league standards.

Come on don, just take this one on the chin

When fit, he will be the best defender that league has seen in a long time, just hope they've paid him the correct wage that goes with him having 6 months off every year.

 

[hopesprings]

I think that's 6 months per season and then he has a holiday

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

he will make their team early October, be injured in December.

 

[dongonzalos]

TM said wage demands AND contract length.
So wage demands were a factor.
Eastleigh to be anywhere near what we were offering him to pay him at their level
Relativity will be throwing money at him.

My reply to you at the time wage demands and contract length was the issue according to TM.
So yes I agreed contract length is a factor also so were wages.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Eastleigh gaffers been sacked already.

Stewart Donald (Chariman): Chris, go and sign some players so that we can win the league.
Chris Todd (Manager): Done. We have just signed Reda Johnson. We'll rip this league apart.

A few days later...

"We might have thrown Chris in at the deep end too quickly," Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald told BBC Radio Solent.

I reckon Pressley will be their next boss

 

[oldfiver]

Mowbray never offered him a contract - where did he say they had offered any money?

He was offered a pay to play but Reda wanted a full contract and pay to match

 

[higgs]

Are you taking the piss?

Clearly........or should that be cloudy?

Can't see it.

I think that their chairman is aiming for a league quality manager.

Errm, aren't you just replying to yourself there, Don?

Yes that way I ended the debate

He'll sign 11 players for them, then leave the next day.

Reda made his first appearance for Eastleigh this afternoon, playing a full 90 minutes and scoring a bullet header from a set piece. Overall he isn't as physical as he was when he played for us but the fact he played a full 90 and helped keep a clean sheet looks encouraging

It's a long season and something his body doesn't normally achieve. But good look to the guy.

How can you say "Did a good job and moved on"? He was on the table more than the pitch!
