If they want to sell, fine, Nicola has said he'd be prepared for that and would be able to find new people to invest. Cortese leaving would be far more damaging than the Liebherrs.

I am so terribly sorry that I didnt have a crystal ball and read your definition of spending more or less. FFS, you wrote "spending less heavily". Goodness knows how I mis-interpreted that.

Perhaps you should have explained, then I wouldn't have to apply a full Fiscal thought process to your remark.
On your NC comments, you have a fair point. I actually asked him what would happen if someone came along with a wad of cash to buy the club. We must remember that he is a driven careeer man with a lot of ability in the business and financial world who may be tempted or sought after by someone else. I would be confident however that he would leave us financially sound.
Can't remember where I read it now, but Markus gave instructions to his executors about Saints and how much we meant to him. Executors usually try and carry out such wishes. I don't think that we mean anything like as much to his heirs as we did to Markus, but do you remember the adoring look of his daughter at him when we won the JPT and she saw how happy he was. We think of Markus whenever something good happens to us and I suspect so do his family. Nothing is for ever, but the Leihberrs aren't on their uppers so think we are safe for a while yet.
In a cynical world the happy man is indeed a wise man.
The cynical man worries about all the bad things that might happen.
His only joy is saying "I told you so" when one of them does.
The wise man knows that many things may happen and accepts it.
Wisescummer? Unhappyscummer?

Can you fellas stop arguing please? Or go find a different thread to argue on? Ta.
Who is arguing? Everybody is discussing topics raised by the thread.
Quite frankly you should be glad we are having such an involved discussion on your thread. Every post gives you points.
I think ThatThereSaintsFan is after a return to his original thread idea, but I have to say that this difference in opinion is much more interesting. I didn't realise we had people left with such fundamental doubts about the present Owners and Chairman. I guess being a dyed-in-the-wool, old style Saints fan takes some shaking off.
Let's remember this conversation, and see if our judgements ring true. By the way, in 46 years of watching Saints, I've long since stopped being overly optimistic on the Club, so my point of view takes some belief. This isn't the same Saints we've known and loved all our lives.
