Perhaps a new shirt with the red and white stripes on the front and a Swiss flag incorpoated on the back.
On SSN they are saying LeTis might have some sort of role in the club.The news gets better and better.
Exciting times eh.

Feel free to take this song and celebrate the Saints SUNNY NEW DAY:

I hope talks go well with Matt le Tissier and that both parties are happy with working together in some capacity. I don't know how good a thinker/planner Matt is, but obviously the Saints fans hold him in high regard.
Thanks again Markus, Nicola and the team (and Mr. Wotte) for your patience and faith.
From a saints fan in Australia.
oh btw, would someone be able to offer some sort of internet video of Saints games for people elsewhere in the world? Even if it were a delayed .avi which could be downloaded via torrent within 24 hours of each game. We have no way of watching Saints in Australia etc.
SW: wish-hope. Whoever creates the security words at the Echo has a good sense of humour :)

Every football club in the country has fans like us...the seaon ticket holder, the "never miss a game" type, and the passionate casual. Let's face it we all follow one team and will until the day we day...better that than the day the club dies!
So whether you were a luvvie or an anyone else but, let's all celebrate - we've got a club to follow.
I'm not one for friendlies usually but I think all fans should show their thanks by going to the Ajax game...
Herr Liebherr vielen dank!

thank you so much to those who actually didn't open their mouths but let their money do the talking. I hope for you and us thta a golden age is dawning.
le Tiss will always be loved and respected he never lost face with me. He tried to do the right thing those around him let him down. He maybe Le God but he is human.
never knock a guy for trying to do the right thinng even when it doesn't work.
he felt enough about the club to try.
Still no1 hero
i believe.
Now is the time to be united. We have had to stand and watch this go on and now we can play a part and not just talk about it.
Maybe we can put Big Mac's picture back in the boardroom where it belongs now.
finally have a board that isn't fractured and no longer any shareholders to work against each other. which damaged our ability to perform and the way we were viewed world wide.
now we the fans must have one voice and one face. Welcome to our owners and now lets roll the sleeves up cos there is work to be done.
love it

They have shown great resilience and patience in the purchase process and we must now do the same as whilst the long term future looks good the return to some real form on the pitch may not be instant.
What we as fans need to do now is pack the stadium and show them the passion they so obviously saw on this website.
Also a big thank you to the Echo which got a lot of stick through the last few months but no doubt played a part especially in exposing Pinnacle for what they were.

The man is a serious businessman. The more I read about the man the more I warm to him. He has conducted the takeover of our great club in the most professional manner.
After all the recent debarcle(last 5years)I think we finally have a man that will bring us success. But we will have to be patient. There will be a few wobbles on the pitch in this league and its upto us to get behind the team.
Marcus being a shrewd man, I wouldn't be supprised if MLT has a role in the future of our great club in some capacity.

I don't want our club to be built on sand like that lot down the road where everything they touch is dubious and shady.
We have a reputation as Hampshire's most decent, honest and respected club and we must maintain that.
No dodgy Arab for us, no gun running gangster front man, no brown envelopes, no coppers at the door at six in the morning.
We are Southampton the Pride of Hampshire and always will be. Markus is a man of integrity and that fits in perfectly with our clubs history and reputation.
Leave the dodgy, the suspect, the fly by night, the wideboys, and the down right dishonet to our money laundering, gun running neighbours.

There are plenty of Saints in Australia and NZ. We did have a supporters club about 8 years back based in Melbourne. A few of us in Sydney used to meet up on a regular basis. If you want to start a supporters club, I'd be in.
Thank you for seeing the potential in SFC and securing KD's signature. He deserved it and your a legend. Up the Swiss & Germans.

1) Stay in the Championship, but struggle on under Lowe with and uncertain future
2) Get relegated to League 1, and go into adminstration get a 10 point deduction, but then be bought by a billionaire making us debt free with a secure future.
I would take option 2 every time!

Thank you Markus Liebherr. The man is a serious businessman. The more I read about the man the more I warm to him. He has conducted the takeover of our great club in the most professional manner. After all the recent debarcle(last 5years)I think we finally have a man that will bring us success. But we will have to be patient. There will be a few wobbles on the pitch in this league and its upto us to get behind the team. Marcus being a shrewd man, I wouldn't be supprised if MLT has a role in the future of our great club in some capacity. COYR

On a more serious note I think that this is really great for the club and ultimately for the city, Herr Liebherr obviously has some great affection for the area (maybe charitable contributions are tax deductable here in Heidi land!!) Far better a sensible and serious person like him buy the club than a .....vich or shaky Sheik.
Good that Davies has decided to stay as well...just made it!

You have to be joking.
From what I have heard Markus was not sure which of PFC or SFC to buy but once he got hold of all the facts, looked at the books, reviewed the history of both clubs, and spoke to the fans his mind was made up. The Swiss always go for quality you know.
As far as showing our appreciation I have told the misses not to buy chaddar any more from now on its emental for me.

It would seem that a miracle has occurred which has restored the faith in the majority- some never lost it but it certainly waivered for a few. Those who still doubt should simply stay away.
A second miracle in KD's new contract is almost unbelievable and I am astonished at the display of loyalty that has been shown in this day and age of greed and dishonesty in the game.
I am going to do what I can to get to the Ajax game; only question is, will I get a ticket. I sense a full house!!

I lived in South Wales for years and Swansea/Cardiff hate have a similar thing going on, I visit Ipswich matches and they hate Norwich. This is all part of the fun of football that you don't get with cricket, rugby, tennis etc.
I saw PSV play at Portman road and the PSV fans united the crowd with a chant of "stand up if you hate the Germans".

I've been a Saints fan since 69' and was a steward under the west stand for many years and the security word
(Upon-Hurt) could go no where near describing the way I/we would have felt had our club disappeared! it hurts enough knowing that we're in Div 3!! somewhere we don't belong....
So thanks again Markus and your team, and Le God the upmost respect to you for your continued loyalty and endeavours in (yet again) trying to keep the club afloat - thanks Matt.
