You said she is investing hundreds of millions pounds every year. I question whether the Liebherrs as a whole have a net spend of more than a hundred million in there whole time in charge. I'm not saying they should I'm just asking if they are that much out of pocket.
I've said before. The way he ran the club when he was here I think was amazing. We were a shambles and needed sorting. He did it and I think he had to be the one hate figure to the staff to get the results he did.
Not saying it is. Just saying it's not surprising for the owners to invest a bit of cash into the business once in a while.
Nope, I know plenty of people that worked under him that would disagree with you. There is being harsh to help stable a sinking ship, then there is trying to micro manage every single thing. He pissed off a hell of a lot of people and they are grateful he has gone.

This is from when Markus was about to take over the club. I think this part is very interesting when looking at how Saints is run and where they are trying to get it to:
'The Liebherr family business was set up by the late Hans Liebherr in 1949 and now employees 32,000 people worldwide. But despite its colossal size and growth, it is one of few companies that has grown without ever taking on any debt.'

I'm sure they are. He wanted people to work hard for what at the time was a failing about to go out of business football club. If that had happened everyone loses their job. For me he saved not only our football club but also a lot of people's jobs. After doing that he pushed us to the next level which is always going to ruffle a few feathers. I'm sure he wasn't a nice man to work for but he always had the interest of the football club at heart and was always pushing it forwards.
Anyway enough of cortese he is history and it's purely the future that's important now. Self sufficient or not.
Yep, that's agree to disagree. We will see if Kats way is the best way.
That's nothing like what Morgan said though is it. Fonte states the club slogan '#wemarchon' and then added 'together' when some fans panicked.
Morgan stated “6 years of an amazing journey [HASHTAG]#saintsfc[/HASHTAG] DESTROYED in 1 hour.” Massive massive difference imho.
I think that was what turned fans into headless chickens, but as said Fonte clarified it.
The problem is that Fonte has always been so vocal about the team and management and how everything will be okay, yet now he has only said a few things on social media and nothing at all through club media. So guessing he was not in a good place with the club would seem logical, really.
Can do the rest of his talking on the pitch now. Hope Les waits to reward him with an extension though. Let Mendes eat pasta for a few nights.
If Jose hadn't had his head swayed a little then he would have been almost unique in the realms of football. Even Le Tiss was going to sign for Spurs, and only his 1st wife stopped him. The fact that Jose didn't say anything during the transfer window lets me think that he took a mature view and let things play out, instead of doing the Morgan rant. More power to Jose for that.
I am really having a problem understanding why people would think Fonte needed to make a statement in regards to the alledged United interest. We will probably never factually know whether there was some genuine interest. Presumably Saints hadn't discussed anything with him. So effectively no statement to make. Bearing in mind he had virtually only just signed a extension to his contract so no one would have expected him to consider a move.
I'd assume the interest was genuine IMHO Beddy. Spaced Saints is right, he is normally quite vocal about the project and his silence post Euro win was ominous. Fair play to him, he didn't spit his dummy out as he's a pretty decent guy by modern football standards. Glad he's still with us. Hope he doesn't now have shocker!
