Paul Doswell

PAUL Doswell, driving force behind Eastleigh's dramatic rise up the non-League pyramid, has resigned as equity director and assistant manager of the Blue Square South club admitting: "It's time other people stepped up to the plate."

Missing out on the end-of-season play-offs has undoubtedly knocked him sideways, but Doswell attributes his decision to quit the Silverlake Stadium after six memorable years to "a number of things that have all added up over a period of time."

One of those is most certainly the loss of the manager's post which he was forced to surrender midway through the 2006/7 season due to ill health.

Subsequently three ex-Saints - Jason Dodd, David Hughes and, currently, Ian Baird - took over the running of the team but, after a spell as director of football, Doswell came back into the managerial fold last summer as assistant boss.

He has thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Baird since the former Saints' striker's arrival from Havant & Waterlooville last October, but it is other aspects of the club that appear to have worn him down.
