The club is once again in the financial mire. Going largely full-time wasn't wise and now the main backer has pulled out. The club is up for sale (presumably before administration looms) and the consortium that was bidding claims that it has been 'gazundered' by the new team manager, Spencer Day, appointed after a four-year spell at Chertsey Town. Day claims he has no interest in buying the club but he has plenty of money to spare and put a lot of it into Chertsey, who were promoted to the SL this year.
Spencer Day is actually Spencer Trethewy, the teenage 'tycoon' who famously failed in his bid to save Aldershot from extinction and then served time at Her Majesty's pleasure for breaching the Companies Act by running up bills when his company was suspended from trading (to make his bid for the club he borrowed a lot of money that he couldn't pay back). He changed his name by deed poll and took his mother's maiden name.
Despite his earlier setbacks, Day is now worth £12,000,000...
