Thank you. You saved Southampton Football Club. For many of us that was like saving the life of a family member. Words fail. Terrible loss.

rip marcus hope we rename the stadium after you.a great man who grew to love the saints family

Yesterday’s news was tragic on a personal level, my condolences to all those who new Markus in person.

My grief over Markus’ death is not the same as if he had been a close friend mine. However it has struck with me a sense of sadness, that is seperate from worries over what the consequences may be for the future of Saints.

I was proud that Markus was the Chairman of SFC, as I am sure that most every fan of our club was. I was proud because our Chairman appeared to be a dedicated, private, hard-working, intelligent, good person.

Markus...You helped us to believe again and to turn our dreams into reality....lets all play our part and help our club become everything it deserves to be...Markus will always be remembered with fondness in Southampton and in our hearts.

Our thoughts go out to Markus' family at this very sad time. He saved our club which is the heart of the city and for that we will always be grateful.
A quiet and unassuming gentleman who joined in as a fan, Markus was the perfect club owner and will be forever missed. Let's now fulfil his dream.

Markus, my overriding memory of you will be your huge, genuine smile whilst taking your own snaps during the presentation of the JPT at Wembley, sadly the only trophy you will see your Club lift. You will, however, see your Saints lift more trophies in the coming years but from above. Whenever we have a great match, lift a trophy, get promotion or sign a new player I will think of you because without you none of this will have been possible.
R.I.P. Markus, patron Saint of The Saints - Thank you for all you did for this great club.

RIP Markus...You believed in us when we needed you most! You will always be remembered for that!

Thankyou for giving us back our club, our hope and our pride. RIP
