Saint 76er Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 He looks a trustworthy guy doesn't he? Reminds me of Richard Attenborough. Yes, that's it, he's santa claus Yes he does look trustworthy, in a kindly grandfather sort of a way. My take on his doppelganger... Richard Bucket, Hyacinthe's long suffering husband! Welcome Markus, you sound just the man for us and hope you will be on the pitch prior to Millwall game to meet your new loyal fans. Might have to change pre game music to the "William Tell Overture" for players entrance now! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red and White Army Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Is that 'billion' on the short or long scale? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion Thousand million, so the "short" scale. Billion as a million million is not used in modern day finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew40 Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 His worth is 3 billion euros, which is worth 2.5 billion pounds. Thats just his personal worth. Tom Hicks (aka Liverpool) is worth 1.4 billion dollars. Which means Markus is roughly 3 times richer than Mr Hicks. I am loving this . . . (Hope I got the billions right on the short scale that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I remember Paul Rideout! Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Know I'm going to get shot down for this but don't like the Hicks comparison, we don't want to borrowing risk that Hick's introduced...then again having said that it's like he can be planning on making millions out of saints:D Bring on the trumpets and cow bells!!!

Just a financial worth comparison, nothing more. Would never want a Tom Hicks type investing in Saints, which is what I believe some of the others would have been, as they were all investment vehicles, or speaking for persons/vehicles of wealth.

Corporate Ho Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 I'm ashamed of you lot. No-one's giving a thought to poor little Micky Fiasco, sat in his room at his mum's sobbing his little heart out. Saints fans aren't what they used to be. By the way, I take it your views on clubs being owned by foreign sugar daddies and buying their way to promotion are softening somewhat from what you've said to me in the past?

itchen Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 (edited) Echo report says Markus Liebherr was attracted to Southampton by a number of qualities which include the Club's rich sporting heritage, loyal fan base, first class stadium and training facilities and the potential for the Saints to regain their rightful place at the higher echelons of English football. At last, someone has finally seen our potential yeeee haaaa Did he not mention the catering? Edited 8 July, 2009 by itchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
