Sorry to labour the point but isn't Southampton Football Club the main (only?) beneficiary of the trust fund set up in Markus's name? Perhaps it makes a difference if the trust fund is set up by the person before they die or whether its set up by the trustees of his overall estate after he dies?
As I said at the start of this thread, I 'm not sure where I'm going with this but I can't help feeling this 'dispute' has only arisen because either the Liebherrs or Cortese now want to deviate from Markus's wishes.
