toofarnorth Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 where is the club now? who is the new owner? what is the structure /policy now going forward? Check out the article on club site. The march to the premiership is still on. Lets make this really sad news the uniting force it should be and get a full house for the Leyton Orient game to pay our respects.

ypbl Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 I feel so sorry for the guy's family. Genuinely gutted for them. Also sad for those at the club whose appointments came about as a direct result of Markus's ownership of SFC - they must be wondering what the future holds, as do all of us fans. Markus was a Christian and therefore his family will have faith that he has now gone to a better place in heaven. Our responsibility is now to take hold of the legacy Markus has left at SFC and turn his dreams and ambitions into reality. RIP Markus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guan 2.0 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Genuinely sad news. He came from to nowhere and rescued the club from the brink of extinction when the situation was at it's darkest, and seemingly asked for nothing in return. He gave the fans, both in and out of the city, a club they could be proud of, and instilled a new sense of not just hope, which can be dashed by any person whose dreams are outmatched by their means, but a true feeling of belief. He was as much a fan as any here, as Anyone at Wembley on the day of our Cup Triumph will testify, and I can only trust that The team, The management, and the fans can pull together to make his, and our, vision for the club a reality. Rest In Peace, Markus Liebherr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 Speechless really, what can one say; one of the very last gentleman philanthropists, a good man who enjoyed saving a great club. I hope that his far too brief tenure at SFC gave him some genuine pleasure and that he felt the very real gratitude and affection of his fellow Saints fans. Sincere condolences to his family.

Saint137 Posted 11 August, 2010 Share Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus, take your place alongside Ted upstairs. What he built, you saved, and we are eternally in your debt for that. This speech came to mind and seems appropriate: "Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
