Guided Missile Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 (edited) I just wonder if the tipping point for the Swiss bid was the prospect of a Jewish owner of our football club. Things seemed to rapidly accelerate as soon as Fialka was revealed and his background became known. The money was also reported to be sourced from the North London Jewish community. We also know that Markus Liebherr is deeply religious and a committed Christian and one of the attractions of the club was/is the origin of the club being from the St Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association. I hope that people reading this don't get the impression that this is any way an anti-Semitic accusation against our new owner, because it is not. I just happen to think that the Christian roots of our great club, its history, our nickname and the location of the stadium so close to Southampton's mother church, may have been a large factor and that Markus Liebherr may have wanted to preserve this. I can see a return to our "family club image" with Markus Liebherr in charge and I hope he looks at the ground from an engineer's background and all he sees is the ease with which he could expand the capacity! I am sure that the fans will give him and his family a great welcome next Saturday and that he will one day understand what a fantastic club and set of fans he has been lucky enough to become involved with...

Badger Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 Bit of a hornets nest you might have stirred up there GM. Bound to upset someone in these times. Actually,I doubt it made one iota of difference to ML that the pinnacle money was said to be coming from the London jewish community.He either wanted to buy the club or didn't.

Badger Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 The most absurd post you have ever posted GM, and some of your past ones take some beating! In fairness to GM the notion of SFC's church roots and background being an attraction was mooted in The Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
