Saint-Armstrong Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/01/16/ca-katharina-liebherrs-ascent-to-the-southampton-helm/ After a turbulent 48 hours at Southampton Football Club, I was told by my editor that I was needed to provide a piece on everything that's happened lately (not much, eh ), and take the story back to the start, when Markus took over in 2009. I've summarised, best as I can... 1 - The Liebherr Era - (2009-present) 2 - Cortese's impact on the club 3 - The club's progression 4 - Katharina Liebherr's arrival 5 - The potential future of the club I hope you find the read enjoyable and informative. It is a long one, but I put a fair bit of time into this one. Hope I've summarised it and not left anything glaringly obvious out. Think I've given a fair appraisal and am quite pleased with the piece, personally. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 I think you have treated a tricky subject very well and anyone reading your work will end up having a pretty accurate picture. Well done, you have outperformed many national journos in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 All national journos have simply forgot about the £33m equity thing. As did I to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 Good read, have to say though that the opening line made me chuckle.

a1ex2001 Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 A much more balanced appraisal than much of what the main stream press have written, your editor needs to do his job though and apply the fine polish to bring your writing fully up to publishing standards.
