trousers Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 A poignant anniversary tomorrow (8th July) - the 2nd anniversary of Markus Liebherr plucking Southampton Football Club from the jaws of liquidation - and the first anniversary since his untimely passing last year. A date in the club's history that we'll never forget. RIP Markus and thank you again.
Saint Troy Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 great post in the light of the recent transfer/no transfer speculation/*****ing/nonsense. Where we are is purely to do with this man and holy **** are we lucky! thank you Markus
pap Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Agreed. When I think back to that long dreadful summer, the f**king jokers at Pinnacle and the endless takeover thread, seems almost unreal to see us where we are now. We have Marcus to thank for that.
disconnect Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 True legend. Hopefully we'll announce the other opposition for the memorial cup tomorrow then!
sammysaint Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Legend ONLY ONE ML... BTW disconnect i believe its billbao and wigan...
corsacar saint Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 The club is forever in your debt Markus.Thank you again and it is so very sad that you are not around to see your dreams for the club come to fruition.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Great thread Trousers - we should never forget our saviour and fellow Saint Markus L.
opthomps Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Did he really die exactly a year after buying us? Fair play for the tribute. He changed our path for the better, and for that he won't be forgotten.
dronskisaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Missed this yesterday but eternal gratitude and thanks -long may his legacy flourish and grow!
Colinjb Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Thanks to him the future is bright. The future will be red and White. Thankyou Saint Markus, always.
Doctoroncall Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Did he really die exactly a year after buying us? Fair play for the tribute. He changed our path for the better, and for that he won't be forgotten. He died, 10th August... GRHS
Miltonaggro Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 We owe the man an awful lot. When you think that it's only two years it puts the 'five year plan' into perspective somewhat. WIFM...
Saint Garrett Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Thankyou Markus Can't wait to see this flag! Forever in your debt.
Barry the Badger Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 God that summer was awful. Constantly checking the echo site, sky sports news in the background, there was even a night where Sky Sports were saying if it doesn't go through tonight we are fecked, horrible horrible. Thank heavens Markus turned up.

Thank heavens Markus turned up. There was even the talk of what to do should we fold. Who would support a reformed club etc... Bad, bad times. Thank heavens things turned out as they did.
holepuncture Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Happy 2nd Anniversary Herr Markus Liebherr - Thanks for everything and I hope you like the flag! COYS WIFM
VectisSaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 Can never forget what the man (and Nicola) did, was best birthday present for me ever. I was thinking yesterday they should have held off the Cork announcement until today, but then again maybe something else is on the cards for today.
lambertsrightleg Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 can't believe it was 2 years ago!! it went through the day before my 21st birthday. on the day of my 21st my dad woke me up by throwing the echo at me and on the back it had the news that kelvin was staying.....best birthday ever.
Lymsaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 The message about the purchase of the club from my son is still on my mobile, what a great day for Saints, thank you Markus and Nicola. Onwards and upwards
LeBoyer Posted 8 July, 2011 Posted 8 July, 2011 In commemoration, I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you all once again. It seems fitting... Leboyer
