The Eastleigh board are a bunch of a-holes.

In my first season, within 2 days of me starting, they created an affiliation with Southampton (with us as feeder, obviously), which I cancelled a year later (as soon as I was allowed).

Now, as my 3rd season starts, they've gone and done it again, this time with Aldershot.

I'm trying to play the LLM way (I know I can't be a feeder, as an English club) but my board is conspiring against me!

Is there anything I can do, short of shooting them all?!

Not apart from keep cancelling the arrangements and not profitting from them where possible, as far as I'm aware anyway. I haven't myself come across it though yet.

Well, I shan't profit from it.

I'll be refusing any players they try to send out on loan, and the friendly that is due under the agreement hasn't surfaced (same as happened with the Southampton deal).

Bloody board!

With Blyth I've been a feeder to: Northwich, Some Irish Premier Division team, Barnet and now currently Milwall. Just ride the year out and cancel it as soon as you can and as Chris said, try not to profit from it (although obviously you can't refuse the annual payment if thats part of the deal.)

Nothing you can do Kev, other than what you are doing. It's not fault if your board decide to spring a feeder/parent on you that breaks FA's rules (and therefore llama ethics). It's a fault of the game itself.
