He did, but our debts weren't that huge. It was the parent company which foundered - Southampton Leisure Holdings. There is something I am unclear on to this day. Did Markus Liebherr buy just Southampton FC and it's associated companies, or did he buy the lot.? Here's the list of the separate companies that SLH wholly owned: Southampton Football Club Ltd St. Mary's Stadium Ltd St. Mary's SPV Ltd Southampton Insurance Services Ltd Southampton Mortgage & Financial Centre Ltd Saints Supporters Club Ltd Southampton Swaylife Ltd Secure Retirement Ltd Dell Estates Ltd St Michael's Street Homes (No. 1) Ltd Stadium 2000 Ltd Felix Broadcasting Ltd South City FM Ltd Forest FM Ltd
I'm sure a fair number in that part of the world are now Manchester City fans, youngsters who are impressed with what they see there, rather than the rubbish that has been served up by Leeds for the past 7 or 8 seasons.

You keep saying that. Leeds are definitely a sleeping giant, no matter that a few fans may have drifted away.
