  1. People here are confusing the Liebherr company with the Mali Group. The Liebherr company is run by Markus' brother and sister, he sold his shares roughly 20 years ago.
  2. It will only be someone to sit on the bench whilst Gobern is suspended and Schneiderlin is injured. So don't set your expectations too high, clubs simply won't loan out good players to sit on the Saints' bench whilst Hammond and Chaplow play.
  3. It works on my Mac, but I installed my game using Steam. Try doing that (uninstall and then reinstall using http://store.steampowered.com/ to register the game)
  4. The five year plan was to get Saints into the Premier League. There will be other plans on top of that. Cortese has talked about expanding the stadium and aiming to get in the Champions League, that is probably the plan from 2014 - 2019.
  5. Yep, I should have included that. I bet Lallana is now one of the top earners along with Fonte and Lambert, getting "close" I'd guess to the £10k p/w mark. Plus the agent fee and signing on fee to persuade him to stay at Saints rather than go on a free in the summer in a lucrative deal for him. No doubt the ambition of the club and future plans were also a factor in keeping Adam, he would want to be at a club going places with ambition and resources, he could quite easily have gone to the Premier League or Championship in the summer if he wanted - but didn't.
  6. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2279036,00.html Yep, it is "Mercedes of Southampton" with pitch side advertising and mini buses for the academy etc, not the main multinational Mercedes company with a kit sponsorship.
  7. Liebherr was at no point "running the club", he owned it but Cortese was running it for him. As it is still owned by the Liebherr estate, I very much doubt they would give him permission to accrue multi million pound debts by taking out loans for the company to buy a state of the art training ground for a League One club. Especially when the family prides itself in not accruing debt.
  8. People seem to think Guly cost us nothing. However he would have cost a sizable loan fee intitially in August and then a sizable (but undisclosed) transfer fee in January, along with agent fee, signing on fee etc etc. Richardson cost £450k in the summer which is a large amount for a League One team, Dickson cost £225k and Butterfield as was out of contract, a large signing on fee and agent fee. The price for Forte was also undisclosed, he was a regular in a Championship side however. In any case the squad was already pretty much sorted to be capable of a promotion campaign after 31st January 2010 after Puncheon, Seaborne, Fonte, Otsemobor and Barnard were brought. That was a mere 12 months ago! Relatively little was needed to be spent in the summer of 2010 or January 2011.
  9. That goes against the Liebherr business philosophy of the last 63 years of not accruing debt.
  10. The money for the the training ground cannot have come from money earnt by the club from two seasons in League One. It will be costing many millions of pounds.
  11. Yes, he does.... Seattle Sounders FC
  12. So what exactly? These lists can never be accurate by their very nature. Are you trying to say they aren't billionaires? They can be quite easily shown to be in numerous other places.
  13. He isn't even Saints' top goalscorer, let alone the league's top scorer. There are 14 League One players with more League goals than him, CMS has twice as many. Of course it hasn't helped that Barnard hasn't played 90 minutes that regularly, so for goals per minutes on the pitch ratio he is probably quite high.
  14. Will Neil Warnock stand by these comments he made in this video from 2009? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/7947535.stm
  15. -10 = 170-200 -9 - 150-180 -8 - 130-160 -7 - 110-140 -6 - 90-120 -5 - 70-100 -4 - 50-80 -3 - 30-60 -2 - 10-40 -1 - 0-20 It is also weighted so it is more likely the player will be at the bottom of the bracket, than the top.
  16. It was -8 and is now -9, so is a random number still but from a higher bracket. It won't always be 174, just like it wasn't always 148.
  17. A number of other strikers have had better seasons than Lambert. Of course this being the internet, it isn't possible to know if you are being serious or not so I bit anyway (just in case).
  18. Still worth adding the patch to your old long term saves for the bug fixes, even if you don't want to start again with the new database.
  19. Davis isn't the best keeper in this league. Fonte and Lallana should be in it. Pilkington/Pugh/Chamberlain tussling it out for the other winger position.
  20. I was unaware there was a Twitter issue with the Mac. What was the problem?
  21. Windows XP: 1. Open “My Computer” 2. Navigate to : “Documents and Settings\\Application Data\ 3. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder. 4. Go to the “Football Manager 2011” Folder. 5. Delete the 'cache' Folder found inside here. Windows Vista and Windows 7: 1. Click “Start” 2. Click your username on the start Menu 3. Click on “AppData” and then “Roaming” 4. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder 5. Go to the “Football Manager 2011” Folder. 6. Delete the 'cache' Folder found inside her
  22. It looks exactly like him, because it is him! (albeit with a scarf and baseball cap)
  23. Schneiderlin, Lallana and Chamberlain.
  24. Two and a half year deal in January 2010... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1940765,00.html
