beatlesaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Who owns us for a start? If you read the statement on the OS nothing happens now except we carry on as the plans that have been put in place. I would assume we are owned by Markus's family and they will continue to see out his vision for Southampton FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi_sopez Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Official site article looks like it will be okay, clearly death expected as they wouldnt have been so confident in article. Still shocking RIP and thanks for saving us Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit2 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 The club will continue as per his wish I presume. There will be some sort of trust fund set up? Will be interesting to see if Cortese stays on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Forum is a bit shaky, probably 300 million people online. Wow that is shocking, i am hopeful the club will be ok from the article but obviously worried for the club. Absolutely devastated though, he was always smiling.

Stepgar Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 We owe him so much. I would like to see a permanent memorial dedicate to him as without him who knows where we could have ended up. A stand?? Or maybe even the stadium ?? RIP big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 I expect in his will, he will have left the stuff he owns to various different people, probably people in his family.

krissyboy31 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Don't really know what to say, really. I'm devastated, the guy had become like one of the Saints family and although there were rumours about health problems, I don't think anyone expected he wouldn't be here to see his plans come to fruition. I would presume the ownership of Saints and Mali would revert to the Liebherr family but what plans (if any) they have for us, is anybody's guess.

Matthew Le God Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 .He would have wanted to be there when the Saints get promotion to the Premier League. The well laid plans for the Club that he and the Executive Chairman had mapped out over a year ago will continue to be implemented uninterrupted and nothing will change in that regard....

moon monkey Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 He never looked the healthiest of people, I'm sure all case scenarios were considered when he took ownership. I quite expect his son or daughter to take his fortune. I guess a certain amount has been put aside for investment in southampton over a long period. That will only last so long, the next task for Cortese will be sadly to search for a new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 FFS - The moral compass of some posters here is unbelievable. My thoughts are with his family, the club can wait. Or we can discuss both seeing as we didn't actually know the man personally. Very sad for his family and friends but equally it has implications for SFC. No problem with them being discussed.

Arizona Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Please people. Everyone is gutted about today's news, but can we at least show each other some respect by not attacking each other posters in threads like this. In the oppinion of many people, including myself, now isn't the time to discuss club matters. However it is a legitimate question which will no doubt be playing very strongly on peoples minds once they have gotten over the shock. If you disagree with this thread, do not post on it. On the other hand; please do not attack those who do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus. May I be the first to ask - no demand - that the club immortalises the great man with a statue next to Ted's. OK, he was only with us for one year, but what a year and he has been every bit the influence in keeping the club alive. Beyond that, I think any further speculation is disrespectful right now, but I do feel we'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guan 2.0 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Obviously, Information is limited, and emotions are high. Perhaps just lock this topic for a week? After all, It's doubtful that any on here will have anymore information than Cortese et al. So instead of idle speculation, we can instead show a mark of Respect. IMO, of course.

Deppo Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 I believe that this is NOT the time to be discussing Saints when his family and friends are dealing with this tragedy.

Everyone who has been getting on Cortese's case these last few months (mainly Stu) need to stop and think what it might mean if Cortese was not part of the set up here, now Leibherr is gone.
