Smirking_Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 No more likely to be accurate than anything seen on here IMHO....but..... i missed the solent report due to swimming. Did it really say what is reported on ugly inside
SFC Forever Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Beatle that is roughly the state of mind that I am in at present. Unusually convinced the bad times are on the way out.
SaintRobbie Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 This is the image for tomorrow... for so many reasons!
gonzo Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 third party hitches = lynam begging fry to hold on because he's hurriedly preparing a statement? I think Fry would laugh that joker out of town now.
Bourno Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 The Echo, best paper in the South. I live in Fish land and get their local rag every day (The News). Apart from the skate football coverage it is actually a very good paper for local news. I work in Fareham sometimes and get hold of the echo and it is really rubbish in comparison. I only continue to buy it for news on the Saints.
kpturner Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 i missed the solent report due to swimming. Did it really say what is reported on ugly inside Just said something like this I expect: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8136389.stm

wightman35 Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Let us hope that the deal is finally done without the new owners borrowing the money with the club assets as collateral (eg MU or Lpool?). It will be/would be good to have owners who nurture rather than drain the Club,IMO.
Mr Saints Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 5 Live Sports news update - Marcus Liebherr is the man and the deal will be completed in the next 24 hours.
scotty Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 It seems to me that 99% of both Dutch and Swiss people speak excellent English. it would be a lonely life if they couldnt.
Selexus Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 According to Wikipedia the Liebherrs are German and moved their businesses to Switzerland for tax reasons. "Quick Tommy, before zee Germans get here" Classic:D

BadgerBadger Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I'm really close to doing sex wee in my pants but I'll hold off the vinegar strokes until tomorrow when it's official..........
iansums Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I'm really close to doing sex wee in my pants but I'll hold off the vinegar strokes until tomorrow when it's official.......... nice :confused:
chrisobee Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 He's from Finland. Yes, I was thinking just that but close enough maybe!
Plonko Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I'm in Lowestoft...beers if it goes through?!! Me too. Carlton Red House for me.
alpine_saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Sammi Hypia has been released by Liverpool AND he is SWISS.. Ours for sure now! Everybody say cheese! He's from Finland you mad bastard.
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 He's from Finland you mad bastard. Lol So, charlie, does that make Henrik Larsson on your radar ?
RoundHill-Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Sammi Hypia has been released by Liverpool AND he is SWISS.. Ours for sure now! Everybody say cheese! he is from Finland dumb ass
Master Bates Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I'm not sure if i'm right or not, but I think he's from Austria, damn, I mean Finland.
yarb101 Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Hot rumour coming out of Lincoln Rupert and Michael are applying next week to have their surnames changed by deed poll to Liebherr in order to regain their previous poularity??
Bongo badger Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Possible ground development with hotel maybe, these guys have got hotels, come to think of it, they have everything, except a football club. Their accounts are mind blowing, with between 7 and 15% growth in 08, which was down on the year before. with a billions worth Are they going to paint the hoists in the docks red and white now !

It is not the Liebherr Group that is buying us. It is Marcus Liebherr from his own private wealth. The Liebherr Group and Marcus's own companies are not involved.
Burger Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 It is not the Liebherr Group that is buying us. It is Marcus Liebherr from his own private wealth. The Liebherr Group and Marcus's own companies are not involved. Yeah. I wonder what his motivation is.......if its a purchase out of his own money (rather than one of the companies) then just may be he likes footy and wants a club of his own to indulge in. Now wouldn't that be nice.
niceandfriendly Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 It is not the Liebherr Group that is buying us. It is Marcus Liebherr from his own private wealth. The Liebherr Group and Marcus's own companies are not involved. I'm not doubting that you are correct, but where has it actually been shown that this fella is involved and not the company itself? Is there any proof anywhere?
dubai_phil Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 It is not the Liebherr Group that is buying us. It is Marcus Liebherr from his own private wealth. The Liebherr Group and Marcus's own companies are not involved. However, there are an awful lot of possibilities for an investor with nerve, a sense of timing and funds to exploit. Jacksons Farm is one of them but there are a whole host of other opportunities. Waterfront, mini Casino, hotel plans (remember that one) The Liebherr family don't strike me as daft, they will have seen an opportunity not just a potential black hole. A lot for us to yet learn about them, their team of Directors and their motivations and plans. It's great so far and I do think it will get a lot better, but we all know what happened last time round when a couple of muppets screwed up the last take-over (HOW hard IS it to close the door on someone in a takeover FFS) So let's wait for SOME real facts before deciding we know what they intend to do for the next 1, 3 or 5 years

Fergie Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 this does sound extremly exciting...i just hope this guy can get his siblings involved and then the skys our limit!!! Be signing Ronaldo, Kaka and Ribery before we know it...well on football manager maybe at least!!!! Just want this to be done now with no more 'small issues to be resolved'...
dubai_phil Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 He may well be just be interested in being involved with successful club I know what you mean, but when read on it's own you mean like the last 5.5 years worth of success:D so better to say He may well be just be interested in being involved with a club with a successful future ahead of it!
ottery st mary Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 this does sound extremly exciting...i just hope this guy can get his siblings involved and then the skys our limit!!! Be signing Ronaldo, Kaka and Ribery before we know it...well on football manager maybe at least!!!! Just want this to be done now with no more 'small issues to be resolved'... Not forgetting...Messi....I am sure he wants to come to the Mighty Saints.:smt007
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 He may well be just be interested in being involved with successful club True however he may wish to secure this success with some developments to aid with off-season revenue and revenue increases as a whole
SuperSAINT Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Markus it is! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8136389.stm
ART Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Fantastic, I see it already. Redevelopment of Britannia Road and St Marys with Stadium moving out to Jackson's Farm or Staplewood. Nothing is impossible for the Liebherr family.
saint_stevo Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 i will just be happy to have a club next season the rest, if forthcoming will be a bonus
Lazlo78 Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Markus it is! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8136389.stm Nice. In 2006 the Liebherr family was estimated to be worth 4-5 billion Euro (at least I guess it is €): http://www.bilanz.ch/edition/artikel.asp?Session= Let's hope he still has access to the family fortune
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Wonder if we will ever hear from TL ever again
suewhistle Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Can we ask the guys at Hagiography Press (Duncan, Dave J, Dave B, Gary etc..) to send the guy a selection of their books so he'll realise just what a great back story this club has? Then he might realise what a responsibility he's taken on... Hop Schweiz!
saint_stevo Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Wonder if we will ever hear from TL ever again Not sure i will get a Christmas card....

Bongo badger Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 I think Southampton Fottball Club will be a great marketing asset regardless of his intentions, The money these kinds of people can generate from outside contacts is painful for us humbles to even contimplate. Lets hope he/they use some of there expert knowledge in business to build a footballing empire down here on the south coast while generating finance for the local communitiee.
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 July, 2009 Posted 7 July, 2009 Not sure i will get a Christmas card.... probably get a wing mirror through the post. besides i'm sure you and GM are top of the list

Then he might realise what a responsibility he's taken on... Hop Schweiz! Actually, that is a wonderful idea. Hopefully someone at the club will get this idea and save the Hagiologists from having extra expenses by giving away free books. But yes, those books can turn anyone into a true believer page by page :-)
