You're forgetting one of Markus Liebherr's own statements, which was... while I own this football club, it will never be in debt or have to raise money from a bank for its future requirements. That's not word perfect, but essentially, that's what he said. I would suggest the dream is bigger than you imagine. It's certainly bigger than I've imagined, and I've tried very hard to imagine big..! BTW, the family have bought into Markus's dream, and backed NC to the same extent, so no change in the plan.
I'm just being realistic. To be honest I could see once the club hit the 5 year mark the family selling up. Maybe Cortese will then front a consortium to take it. I just can't see the family investing more. At least not investing the 50m+ extra to facilitate the extension/relocation plans as well as financing player transfers etc. After all that's what stadiums in the UK with all the hotels and add ons cost these days
or maybe I just still have 'The Dell' type of optimism where you have the 'St Mary's' type of optimism. Either way with NC in charge it will all be fine and dandy
Yes, I know what you mean. I think Cortese is certainly here for years, and has actually said somewhere that if ever there was a change of ownership, he knew of people who would queue to purchase and continue to take Saints along the path to success. Strap yourself in [the bus, remember..?], ImpsSaint. These are going to be the best Saints supporting years of our lives.
they will need to be good then because whle others bemoaned the ups and downs of the MLT era I loved every nerve tingling minute of it. lol And NC said that in the long interview on beeb when he was asked if the family were looking to sell. he said No they aren't and even if they were he could get new investment straight away.
