scott_saints Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 You saved my club so therefore I love you. RIP (wtf happens now)
toofarnorth Posted 11 August, 2010 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 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.
johnnyboy Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 The world just got a little darker today thanks Markus RIP

hypochondriac Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Perhaps he knew? And he decided to spend his money on something to give him pleasure just before he died? I hope he had contingency plans in pace.

doughnutman Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Any chance of him being put up on the banner? As the man who saved this club I think it is only fitting that he should be up with other club legends.
Saint Ian Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Totally gutted. Thank you Markus for saving this great club, we will forever be in your debt. It's up to us now to make your dream come true. RIP big fella.
Saint-Reece Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 R.I.P very very sad news to his family, hopefully the plan will still be on to get to the premiership, the lads must get promoted for markus I an't think of anything fitting enough for this great man, maybe a statue to accompany ted would be only slightly fitting
miserableoldgit Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 I will always have a picture in my mind of Markus smiling at Wembley and taking pictures of the crowd. We only knew him for a short while, but we will always be thankful to him. My thoughts go out to his family.R.I.P
rocknrollman no2 Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 I will always be so grateful to Markus for saving our club.Its such a shame he couldnt see his plan through till the end.If anyone deserved to see Saints back in the Prem,he sure did.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Shocked and stunned by this sad news. Heartfelt and sincere condolences to his family. Goodnight sweet man. God bless and may your dreams live on and come true.
smileysaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Thanks big man, will always remember the look on your face at wembley. You were a true fan and so much more.
St BATman Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Shocked gutted and have shed a tear. His joy at Wembley and the cheer he received will always be remembered. May you rest in peace Markus Liebherr; you saved our Saints and that will NEVER be forgotten.

St Marco Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Totally shocked. It put's everything that has happened over the past few weeks into a clear perspective. What this guy has done for this club will live on forever. He will always be remembered as the guy who saved Southampton, the guy who gave us something to remain so pasionate about. The guy cared about the club and for that i will forever be thankful. RIP Markus, you will be missed.
sfc4prem Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Gutted and very shocked at this sad news. My condolences to his family and friends. Absolutely devastating. True Southampton legend. Love you Markus, RIP.
Guan 2.0 Posted 11 August, 2010 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.
miltonroad Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Markus, our saviour, we will be forever grateful. A true Saint, may you rest in peace. Gone but never forgotten.
USaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 RIP Markus. My condolences your family. Thank you for all you did to begin the restoration of our great club. You will be remembered by the fans forever.

Gigersaint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Stunned, RIP Markus and Thank you for all you have done for us, you will always be remembered. Thoughts are with his family.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 My Thoughts go out to his Family & Friends. Tragic news and will be a sincerely heartfelt loss. May we sing his name loud and proud at both MK on saturday and the following week on our return to SMS. I'm going to have a drive down SMS and leave my token of condolence. Markus will always stay with me for what he done for our great club, may he wishes be granted and his name live on with the club. R.I.P Markus Liebherr. MARKUS LIEBHERR'S RED & WHITE ARMY!
warsash saint Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 (edited) RIP Markus Thanks for saving my club. My overriding memory will be of you taking pictures of the players at the JPT trophy like every other fan Edited 11 August, 2010 by warsash saint
Miltonaggro Posted 11 August, 2010 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. This season, our 125th anniversary season, has to be for Marcus Leibherr...
qwertySFC Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 This is such tragic news for his family, thoughts with them during this difficult time. A huge thank you to Markus and his belief in Southampton FC , his effort and faith in saving SFC will never be forgotten
ohwhenthesaints Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Thank you for everything Markus, we owe you so much. Rest in peace.

Ricky Redstripe Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 What can be said that hasn't already? RIP Markus. Condolences to all of his family.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Absolutely gutted. RIP Markus and best wishes to his family at what must be an incredibly difficult time. Thank you so much for saving our football club and setting a course and vision for something better than anything we've experienced before. I only hope that vision continues to be put into effect by Nicola, his staff and all us supporters united in your good name.
1976_Child Posted 11 August, 2010 Posted 11 August, 2010 Deeply saddened by this news. Most heartfelt condolences to the Liebherr family. You were a top man, a true Saint, and we will never forget you for saving our football club. May you rest in peace in heaven, where you undoubtedly belong.
Saint137 Posted 11 August, 2010 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."
