I seem to remember that it was from the infamous WhatsApp banter. Who knows? Maybe whoever it was just wanted an Eastleigh top for his nephew?
There is some sloppy journalism around. I read recently that Salt didn't want to "go to Ipswich".
I've also seen a report that Eastleigh might be in trouble with the EFL for giving video footage of Ipswich training to Southampton.
It's all clickbait.
