torsaint Posted 13 January, 2015 Posted 13 January, 2015 Think we owe it to Katarina to say how much the present success of the club is down to her. I loved the way she gently removed the dictator, accepted the departure of the manager and top players but kept her best cards up her sleeve namely Ralph and Ronald. She really is our Joan of Ark so let's make sure she is in no doubt about our loyalty and respect. Do I hear a song coming on?

(if your intention was to compare her to an historical figure, burned at the stake). Or was Noah's wife called Joan? (and you think she is good at saving animals in bad weather conditions?)
SarniaSaint Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Yeah ..........got an infraction for saying something about her..........but so far the ship is on a steady course........anyone notice the board don't have a thread anymore!!!
torsaint Posted 14 January, 2015 Author Posted 14 January, 2015 Sorry. Jeanne d'Arc. What was I thinking of.
Redslo Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 (edited) While I am happy to be appreciative of Katharina Liebherr, I am not sure comparing her to a random historical woman of no particular relevance is the way to go. But if that is the plan I suggest Florence Nightingale or Susan B. Anthony. Edited 15 January, 2015 by Redslo
Singapore Saint Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Sorry. Jeanne d'Arc. What was I thinking of. Je suis Jeanne d'Arc.
Saint in Paradise Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Don't forget Kate Sheppard the New Zealand lady who started the ball rolling re getting the Vote for women. Mind you I am not sure that was the best idea in the world.
richard Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 I think she prefers to stay out of the publicity. Not really surprising given how spiteful a vocal minority of people are whenever she is in a newspaper or on a website.
manina-pub Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Katarina has apparently said: "je suis ne pas Nicola" ....

She really is our Joan of Ark so let's make sure she is in no doubt about our loyalty and respect. Do I hear a song coming on? Very well said. Particularly so as she's in an industry dominated by men. It takes a pretty strong person to make the kind of dramatic change she made, and when the club was going through a period of success. And her determination to change us from having a nasty edge, to a warm and now welcoming club, also goes against the grain in this industry. I think she's absolutely phenomenal and a complete inspiration. Thank you Katarina. Edited 14 January, 2015 by Coxford_lou
Turkish Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 I wish she'd stop asset stripping and sell the club.
CB Fry Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 I wish she'd stop asset stripping and sell the club. I have absolutely no idea what the phrase means, but this is definitely a fire sale.

NewYorkSaint Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Kudos, OP, for opening this thread. It is indeed incredibly lucky to have Katrina as owner. It's pretty much a perfect situation. She's let huge resources stay in the club... invested in a long-term strategy... kept her ego out of it... and stayed calm. A beautiful way to carry her father's legacy.

The9 Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Cheers Katharina - I hope the stuff I keep hearing from various places about us always being a selling club is garbage, and we can keep the core of the squad this time and build on it, without having to rebuild all the time. Sustainable growth is great, but I hope we can step up the investment in line with the additional prize money if we make CL group stages. Actually, there's a dilemma around that - coming 4th (which would be nice) would give us a qualifier and no guarantee of CL dosh, but we'd need to consider how we'd cope if we DID make the CL groups and leaving it until after the qualifiers to get players in would be pushing it a bit. Still, cross that bridge when we come to it...
Turkish Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 Anyone who thinks otherwise is utterly deluded. MELTDOWN!! Dont you worry sunshine, i'll post what i know i haven't got time at the moment but i'll post it, you see if i dont, it'll make your eyes water it will. Did you know the board didn't even return Adam Lallanas calls when he was on England duty??

Did you know the board didn't even return Adam Lallanas calls when he was on England duty?? The biggest outrage known in the history of football. I'd quite like to know how that would have panned out to be fair. AL: "What's going on guys? I hear everyone wants to leave" LR: "Aye, it seems that way Ads. As captain, you are going to help us convince them stay, right?" AL: "Me?! Nah, I want to play Champions League." LR: "So why are you concerned?" AL: "I want to leave, but I still want my paychecks" AL: "Guys" AL: "WHY WON"T YOU RESPOND TO ME?!?!"
buctootim Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 I told a cracking gag about Joan of Arc at a party in Fontainebleu full of French people. Charlie Hedbo got a better reception. How was I supposed to know she was burnt by the English?

I also heard Calum Chambers was furious he wasn't called when he was in Marbella to be told the new kit was being released, it's why he went. I'll say more when i've got time.

VectisSaint Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 You'd think that someone opening an "appreciation thread" would at least be able to spell the name of the subject correctly.

melmacian_saint Posted 14 January, 2015 Posted 14 January, 2015 I think we're quite lucky. Just down the road, they got children of money launderers, gun-traffickers, dodgy investment fund representatives and fake sheiks. Other clubs had American know-alls, stingy Britons, big-spending reluctant Arabs and Russian mob-dodging oligarchs on an ego trip. In the time where anything went, we were given an industrialist family, with a culture of moderation, that seems to care about making SFC a complete project. That my friends, in these times of short-term franticness and football spending foolishness, is a blessing.
