Mark Jewell moves from chief executive to chairman under Eastleigh's new ownership structureEastleigh have received approval for a change of ownership after former chairman Stewart Donald completed his takeover of Sunderland. Donald had to agree to sell National League club Eastleigh as part of his £40m acquisition of the Black Cats. Chief executive Mark Jewell and directors Kenny Amor, Tom Coffey and Joanne Sprigg have purchased a controlling interest of the Spitfires. Eastleigh finished 14th in the National League in 2017-18 under manager Andy Hessenthaler, who moved up from assistant to Hill after the latter changed roles. At board level, Jewell becomes the club's new chairman, with Amor replacing him as CEO.
