Kingsland Red Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Fantastic news at last, we've finally got a chance of an upturn. Thank you Herr Liebherr. Now please replace that Doncaster train photo with a decent cuckoo clock. COYR
JustMike Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 The club is a complete shambles. Brought to the brink of extinction because your board don't know how to run a football club. Then get bailed out by some billionaire and suddenly you think you are great again. Absolute disgrace to football. yet more proof that you fishy lot have very short memories!
bpsaint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Have been trying to avoid all the takeover gossip and not get too excited until it was all over and the deal was complete,and now that it has thank **** for that!! Such a relief to know we will still be in exsistence next season and can genuinely start believing we will be in the Prem again one day!

Nexstar Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Lucky *****s. You dont even deserve to be a football team. LOL Sour Grapes?
EFM Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Just popped to the doctor for an hour and this thread happened! If this is the biggest wind-up in the history of wind-ups I will not be amused! :-) WE'LL SUPPORT YOU EVERMORE COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lutz Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 This is great news,after all that has gone on from the last few months when i thought we were dead and buried. coyr
dubai_phil Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Wow, amazing what happens when I go out to do some work for a change. Absolutely totally relieved that we are safe as a club Now I await the details and hope that they match my belief that we have finally come out form under those huge clouds. A simple sustainable future where we prgress each season will suit me absolutely fine, and from the press release I think that is what we have. Wish I had time to read all 7 pages but am rushing to get some booze down my neck and dinner so I can watch the gig tonight with a REAL buzz. And yes Erik, think one may have a few sherberts tonight and I think Waxy's is nailed on cert. Perhaps we should find a Swiss song to sing at Karaoke on Friday as well, hell I'm gonna wear a shirt with a logo on for the resat of this week Fookin A And Thank GOD we have a real buyer with a real plan, and that it didn't fall on some of us too stupid to know better fans to have to save the club. Not a job we ever wanted and again THANKYOU to the Man upstairs that we never had to do it. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES (oh anyone know who the Board will be?)
Badger Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Willkommen Markus. Good opening comments from you to which can now justifiably add: "Ich bin ein Saint." The good times are coming again.
alpine_saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Just been in a conference call for the last 2 hours, so missed this. Embarassed to say I burst into tears.........
spain saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Great news!!! Think I just let out a little bit of wee!

Then get bailed out by some billionaire and suddenly you think you are great again. Absolute disgrace to football. Ah, I needed a laugh this afternoon and you've graciously provided it. I'm guessing the irony of a Pompey fan uttering those words having been unable to pay the pie supplier and asking the players to wash their own kit because of the financial situation there and then being bailed out by Mandaric is completely lost on you...

And they were brought to their Knees by an ex mayor of Southampton
wightman35 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 AUSGEZEICHNET! Just the news we have all been waiting for.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 OS: "Markus Liebherr was attracted to the opportunity of acquiring Southampton Football Club by a number of factors including the substantial and loyal fan base..." We all follow Southamptonnnn!

miserableoldgit Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 MLT on shy news now! How do you know it`s him then?
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Says he is happy with Intent but does not seem to know him He is confident we are sorted
OldNick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Just been in a conference call for the last 2 hours, so missed this. Embarassed to say I burst into tears.........was that because you found out it was reverse charges
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Says he is coming back to SSN No contact made between him and Markus, says he wishes him the best and thanks. Prob going back to SSN, does not know Markus, says he is commited to Sky now, so obviously Pinnacle were well out. He said he will help Markus however and whenever but is commited to sky this year
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Said he would turn down chance of chairman if offered as he is back at sky

Hey Steve... takeover mate. told you so
wightman35 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 This thread will soon exceed the takeover gossip threads in pages- and it is so exciting! Even when lots of us rise to the taunts of idiots from you know where............
OldNick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Who sent the email to SSN regarding the 'F5 crew'? probably Tac Tics he has put up some drivel on another thread
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Who sent the email to SSN regarding the 'F5 crew'? Heard it
Wade Garrett Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Markus, I might have a word to you about your families cranes. Cheers Wade
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 BTW, slammed is a reading fan, even worse !!! 2 seasons in prem, how long ago were they in league 1 ??
Give it to Ron Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 If Carlsberg posted threads......this would probably be one! Gosh I am crossed between relief, excitement and emotionally drained over the last few heartbreaking weeks. Onwards and upwards now with Wotte being able to get on with the job - if he can and will get my support but with nervous unease at his ability but now is not the time for us to question this decision as there was verly little choice. Reasonable price ST will see thousands flock back meaning he can get a good war chest ;-)
Toadhall Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Just been in a conference call for the last 2 hours, so missed this. Embarassed to say I burst into tears......... Alps - There is a softer side to you, I'm impressed!
moonraker Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Lost for words WHOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Stanley Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 It feels like a massive weight has been lifted. For a few weeks there the chance of not actually having a team to support suddenly seemed horribly possible. Good work Mr Leibherr!
SW11_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 yet more proof that you fishy lot have very short memories! And they are green with envy!! Let's hope their dodgy arab pulls out now... then we can all laugh at them getting walloped week in week out this season.
Minsk Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Thank you Markus. I will toast you with some of my finest vodka this evening.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 (edited) No more slammed. And i have never laughed so much Edited 8 July, 2009 by Smirking_Saint
SW11_Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Who sent the email to SSN regarding the 'F5 crew'? Yeah noticed that - must be someone on here. Mine was the one before - that mentioned Liebherr meaning "dear man" (I think, anyway!).
miserableoldgit Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 lifted.It feels like a massive weight has been lifted. For a few weeks there the chance of not actually having a team to support suddenly seemed horribly possible. Good work Mr Leibherr! By a crane by any chance?
Right sider Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 What a time to pop out for an hour and a half, missed it by 10 minutes!
