Not much that we didn't already know, but nice to see that we are getting noticed, even over here. The article in the paper was a full half-page, which is good considering life outside the Premier League is never normally mentioned.

There's an interesting snippet in the article stating that Katarina Liebherr is Markus's heir, which people have been wondering about. Also that Cortese used to be her neighbour.

 

I'm looking forward to reading plenty more in the local press next season!

Great article - thanks! Really great to see the stories told about Southampton in Switzerland, Brazil, France etc. Will do our club a world of good PR-wise for centuries to come...

and the return after seven years in the top division guess, as the whole region of Hampshire had thirsted after this success.

 

 

....well not quite the whole of Hampshire...

Some short articles in German press as well, but they usually hvae a pretty good coverage about English football.

reads like a movie strapline. Great to see us getting some international coverage. I assume we'll be back in Switzerland for pre-season.

That bit made me laugh. Can only assume they're confusing us with the Skates.

Alan Sugar with his new apprentice.....

The happy coincidence for Southampton was that exactly at that time, 2009, when he had gone to the dirtiest, had entered with football lovers Markus Liebherr a wealthy Swiss businessman of German descent stage.

 

To Portsmuff?

It was a correct statement given the blue few are hardly enough to mention!
