KingdomCome Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Incredible. Saints were and are extremely lucky to have been saved by Markus. Not a chance we would be anywhere near where we are now without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Massive thank you to Markus, Katharina and Nicola for the fantastic recovery and now progress of our club these last 5 years. Some of the matches, moments and players such as Rickie Lambert that we've been fortunate enough to see and experience will live with us for a long time. Now we have a fantastic opportunity to build on that legacy with Katharina following in Markus's footsteps and she deserves our full support in doing so. The club is so much stronger than the last time we were in the Premier League and a couple of Lovren-type prima donnas isn't going to change that. Next season may be one of transition but we'll be fine long-term, I'm confident of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Despite being taken from us far too young; you have left a great legacy that will be remembered and honoured by all Saints fans the world over. We are all in your debt, and your memory will live long at St Mary's. There ought to be a permanent memorial and Southampton City Council should name a road near St Mary's after you.

austsaint Posted 8 July, 2016 Share Posted 8 July, 2016 What a marvellous human being. Bailed SFC out at a time when things looked bleak. Not a hint of ego or triumphalism in the short time his life had to run.

Slugger Posted 8 July, 2016 Share Posted 8 July, 2016 That day we were taken over was such a good feeling, as good as you can have off the pitch as a football fan I think. The Liebherr family have ultimately done as well out of it as Saints have, a shrewd financial decision to buy, from a shrewd man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
