Nick65 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 F**king fantastic. Usually a bit of a cynical git, but admit to filling up when I heard. Saints are back! COYR !!
Broke Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Fantastic news. I'm over the moon after hearing it on SSN.
Andy Durman Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Ich Liebe LiebhHerr, vielen vielen dank! Alles gute!
chrisobee Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 JESUS CHRIST!!!! I spend the best part of 92 days on this bloody site F5ing, and i go into work for an hour and it bloody well happens....booooooooooooooooooooo what am i saying??? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So if you had gone into work for an hour 92 days ago you might have spared us all this
MorningtonCrescent Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Hello, Hello Southampton are back Southampton are back I like this song, I may just have to start it at Bournemouth on Saturday!
cadiz saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Thank god for Markus, I'd almost resorted to praying! COYR
snowboomer Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Someones just asked me why I'm so happy! Swiss Saints was my reply. I think they thought they were some sort of cake. One question though. Does this mean there is no stadium mortgage anymore? The club is debt free?
Stirchleysaint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Thank Gawd for that. Now we can get back to moaning about the players...
Mr X Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 So pleased that its all over and the future of sfc has been secured sounds like we have a much more successful business orientated owner than the sham of the pinacle group too! However don't expect us to be buying expensive players Markus has already stated that squad investment will be very gradual and he will be wise with his funds
yarb101 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Markus told BBC Solent: "I believe we have a superb opportunity to rebuild this great club. This'll require resources, planning, hard work and patience. He continued: "We should not expect instant success, but our fans, employees and stakeholders can expect 100% commitment from me and my team. "We will assemble a strong management team at every level of the club. We will act rapidly, but also plan for the long term, because I am here for the long term. "I also look forward to the club re-engaging with the fans and the local community. We cannot succeed without their backing." Only wish that previous idiots had learnt from this simple philiosophy....
CWD Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I just went down to get myself a celebratory toblerone from the shop and they were 2 FOR 1! today is a good day
Reib80 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 One question though. Does this mean there is no stadium mortgage anymore? The club is debt free? Yeah I was wondering this too.
sainttomski Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Tac-tics Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I live in Hayling Island full of skates and I get alot of **** in my Saints shirt but jesus I am putting it on now and off i go!
BodminSaint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Great, Great news now its time for the people of Southampton to get behind the team and push it back to where we all feel it belongs..... COYR
Ampersound Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I'm surrounded at work by an Arsenal fan, Chelski fan, Liverpool fan and about 20 skate fans trying to bring me down! They will fail....what a f'ing great day!
nickfinks Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I just went down to get myself a celebratory toblerone from the shop and they were 2 FOR 1! today is a good day share then piggy
thorpie the sinner Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Lets get it right on the pitch as well! Top news we have a club, we now need to play good football, get the feelgood factor back and get the bums on seats again!
graveworm Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Lets hope this is the start of something positive and we have finally got rid of the deadwood Awesome
Rocker268 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Yeah I was wondering this too. I think all of the debts had to be settled, which I assume included the Stadium, which is especially good if it was reduced!

bristolsaint29 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 As the legendary Mr Partridge would say........back of the net!!!!!!! So ****ing happy I may **** my pants. Work cancelled for rest of day to be replaced with an inane and stupid smile on my face. Have just texted a skate I know to inform him that "We are now considerably richer than yow" Get in there, we are ****ing back Saints rise from the ashes.

Year 2: Build for promotion and playoffs... new manager? Year 3: CCC survival Year 4: CCC play offs Year 5: CCC Promotion to Prem Year 6: Consolidate in Premiership Patience.
SaintJimbo Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 At last, no more F5'ing, back to work i guess, HAPPY DAYS
Secret Site Agent Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Make me have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All plant hire by me now will be Liebherr Now lets get ****ed.
eelpie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 YYYEEEEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So happy, been waiting for this for too many years. Hes going to be sensible with his money and not go crazy which i am more than happy with, good, stable, steady improvement over the next 5 years and onwards. Something that can unify the fan base, we can stop these petty arguments and support the club by renewing your STs' and by buying new ones, even if its just an extra seat to put your pie on! Could this day turn out to be one of the most important in Saints history? ****ING GET IN THERE! I'm going to buy a season, even though I can only get to 75% of matches. Let's all get into St Mary's and celebrate!
RonManager Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Takeover, Isn't it? you know, Marvellous Small boys in the park, Jumpers for goalposts, Rush goalies 2 at the back One's gone home for his tea, Beans on Toast? Possibly Don't quote me on that Wealthy club -enduring image You know, Marvellous

Tractor_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I dont believe it until I see a screen grab of SSN with it running along the bottom. A little bit late but worth it for prosperity COYR Mike
garryuk Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Staff meeting has been scheduled for 3 o'clock to let them know of the news and i imagine any unknown details
Secret Site Agent Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 NOW IS THE TIME ' Dear Pompey, we are considerable richer than yow.' **** OFF, PAUPERS!!!!!!
Webby Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 A little bit late but worth it for prosperity COYR Mike Brilliant! Thanks Mike!

broncoboy Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Hurrah . And so the wicked witch is dead and hopefully we can live happily ever after. COYR
suewhistle Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 As I've mentioned in other threads I'll be driving through Switzerland on my way from Italy for my August visit. I might get myself a Swiss flag as they're just the right shade of red and white... How many shall I get, any orders??? I'm also going to put the Saints sticker back in my car window. What a relief, thank goodness we still have a club..
miserableoldgit Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I bet St Richmond still thinks that Rupert is involved though!!
Made in Southampton Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I have lots of work to do and absolutly no chance of doing it lol
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I bet St Richmond still thinks that Rupert is involved though!! He has Post Traumatic Lowe-Stress Disorder. It's a common affliction here!
