Who owns us for a start?

 

If you read the statement on the OS nothing happens now except we carry on as the plans that have been put in place.

I would assume we are owned by Markus's family and they will continue to see out his vision for Southampton FC.

The club will continue as per his wish I presume. There will be some sort of trust fund set up? Will be interesting to see if Cortese stays on?

Forum is a bit shaky, probably 300 million people online.

 

Wow that is shocking, i am hopeful the club will be ok from the article but obviously worried for the club.

 

Absolutely devastated though, he was always smiling. RIP Markus

We owe him so much. I would like to see a permanent memorial dedicate to him as without him who knows where we could have ended up. A stand?? Or maybe even the stadium ?? RIP big man.

Don't really know what to say, really. I'm devastated, the guy had become like one of the Saints family and although there were rumours about health problems, I don't think anyone expected he wouldn't be here to see his plans come to fruition. I would presume the ownership of Saints and Mali would revert to the Liebherr family but what plans (if any) they have for us, is anybody's guess.

.

He would have wanted to be there when the Saints get promotion to the Premier League. The well laid plans for the Club that he and the Executive Chairman had mapped out over a year ago will continue to be implemented uninterrupted and nothing will change in that regard.

He never looked the healthiest of people, I'm sure all case scenarios were considered when he took ownership. I quite expect his son or daughter to take his fortune. I guess a certain amount has been put aside for investment in southampton over a long period. That will only last so long, the next task for Cortese will be sadly to search for a new owner.

FFS - The moral compass of some posters here is unbelievable.

 

My thoughts are with his family, the club can wait.

 

Or we can discuss both seeing as we didn't actually know the man personally. Very sad for his family and friends but equally it has implications for SFC. No problem with them being discussed.

Please people.

 

Everyone is gutted about today's news, but can we at least show each other some respect by not attacking each other posters in threads like this. In the oppinion of many people, including myself, now isn't the time to discuss club matters. However it is a legitimate question which will no doubt be playing very strongly on peoples minds once they have gotten over the shock.

 

If you disagree with this thread, do not post on it. On the other hand; please do not attack those who do.

 

Thanks

What happens now, is EVERYONE on the forum should be issued with a Markus avatar for one week, which cannot be changed, as a mark of respect.

Followed after the memorial service by renaming a stand at the stadium

He's dead, I'm sad about that but my club is more important.

 

Sorry if that doesn't sit well with some posters but that's the way it is.

RIP Markus. May I be the first to ask - no demand - that the club immortalises the great man with a statue next to Ted's. OK, he was only with us for one year, but what a year and he has been every bit the influence in keeping the club alive. Beyond that, I think any further speculation is disrespectful right now, but I do feel we'll be OK.

Obviously, Information is limited, and emotions are high. Perhaps just lock this topic for a week? After all, It's doubtful that any on here will have anymore information than Cortese et al. So instead of idle speculation, we can instead show a mark of Respect. IMO, of course.

You are correct - it doesn't sit well.

Your ignorance and lack of taste and decency is quite alarming.

Hopefully one of his children perhaps? Or a relative?

 

He had no children. Can anyone confirm if he was married? It's not out of the realms of possibilities that we could soon be up for sale again.

Wow what a shock.

 

I'd just like to say thanks, you saved our club.

 

I just hope that someone in the family will keep on going with the club as it was doing so well under his ownership.

It has implications on the club, and this is a saints forum. Everyone loved the bloke and everyone on ere loves Saints. Some of us are worried that, having lost one of these things we love today, that the other is not now in danger.

 

No signs of disrespect

tend to agree...the news is unreal...hard to believe

 

well I guess we NOW KNOW why we have heard NOTHING from the club recently and why they are trying to gain every revenue stream they can....

 

I am utterly stunned...!!!!!

Pure speculative nonsense, you have no proof of anything, have a bit of respect for the person who saved our club.

I believe that this is NOT the time to be discussing Saints when his family and friends are dealing with this tragedy.

 

I alos believe that now ML is gone Cortese is now our only link between the club and the billions that rescued us from disappearing altogether.

 

Everyone who has been getting on Cortese's case these last few months (mainly Stu) need to stop and think what it might mean if Cortese was not part of the set up here, now Leibherr is gone.

Not really the time to discuss that sort of stuff mate.

now is not the time to discuss this. it is clear that this scenario is either not a shock or he had planned well in case of this. Southampton Football Club will live on regardless so let's not discuss this right now

Makes NC's recent strategies even more bizzare to be frank, because that will loose revenue in the long term. But thats another matter.

Do you know it wasn't 'sudden' then TDD?
