trousers Posted 7 July, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Troy Posted 7 July, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 7 July, 2011 Share 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.

opthomps Posted 8 July, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 8 July, 2011 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 8 July, 2011 Share 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.
