Ajax mark the changing times at St Mary's
12:22am Friday 27th July 2012 in Saints News
By Simon Carter, Sports Editor
Markus Liebherr
DUTCH giants Ajax will take the field against a totally different Saints tomorrow to the one they encountered just over three years ago.
Not just a different quality of team, but with a completely new outlook.
Totally new ambitions as well.
It was back on July 18, 2009 that Ajax won 4-1 at St Mary’s to lift the Ted Bates Trophy (and whatever happened to that piece of silverware?).
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored twice after Joseph Mills had given the hosts a surprise early lead.
But eyes were on two men who weren’t even playing.
In the stands was Markus Liebherr , watching the club he had only recently saved from oblivion.
His delight at being part of the occasion was obvious, and he was warmly received by the supporters.
Also taking his St Mary’s bow was Alan Pardew , who had been appointed in place of the sacked Mark Wotte just days earlier.
Pardew, like his new boss, waved to the crowd before kick off.
Needless to say, the result was a total irrelevance.
It was, instead, a chance for the fans to say ‘thanks’ to previously unknown Swiss billionaire Liebherr.
Also, the chance to say ‘hello’ to the manager who would be tasked with trying to bring some good times back to a club which had slipped a long way in a short time. Lest we forget, Saints were preparing to embark on their first season of third division football since 1959/60 when Ajax last visited.
Tomorrow, the reigning Dutch champions form part of Saints’ preseason friendly fixture list ahead of the club’s Premier League return. Three years ago, Saints caretaker boss Stewart Henderson was forced to field the likes of youngsters Olly Lancashire, Jake Thomson, Matt Paterson, Simon Gillett and Callum McNish.
He didn’t have too many options.
Some of Saints’ main names, such as Andrew Surman and David McGoldrick, had been sold off in the summer to help keep the club afloat.
That was how bad it was, just over three years ago, as administrator Mark Fry worked to find a saviour.
Those youngsters had, at times, seemed painfully out of their depth as Saints were relegated from the Championship .
Rupert Lowe ’s mistaken belief that youth could provide the key to a brighter future was cruelly shattered.
It is interesting to look at where those players are now.
Lancashire, McNish and Paterson are in the fourth tier, with Aldershot, Exeter and Southend respectively.
Lancashire was released in the summer by Walsall, McNish hardly played for Exeter last season when they were relegated, and Paterson was farmed out on loan to non-league club Forest Green Rovers in January.
Thomson is now at another nonleague club, Newport County, while Gillett is on trial at Portsmouth after being released by Doncaster.
In addition, Lee Molyneux – who also played against Ajax – has been without a professional club for the last year after Plymouth let him go, while veterans Chris Perry and Graeme Murty have since retired.
Only Kelvin Davis , Adam Lallana and Morgan Schneiderlin remain from the side that lost 4-1 to Ajax.
Back on July 18, 2009 not many Saints fans would have known too much about Rickie Lambert or Dean Hammond.
They were not to know that Pardew had earmarked players from Bristol Rovers and Colchester as men who could help restore the good times to St Mary’s.
They were certainly not to know that in under three years the club would be preparing to play the elite again. This time, Ajax will face a Saints side containing a striker who cost a club record fee of about £7m. Three years ago Saints were almost liquidated after going into administration after they breached their Barclays Bank overdraft limit.
The club had so little money for a while that former chairman Leon Crouch had to dip into his pocket to help pay the wages, to help keep the club going.
Since then, the turnaround has been amazing.
So much so that the side to face Ajax tomorrow could include Rodriguez, Nathaniel Clyne, Billy Sharp, Jos Hooiveld, Jose Fonte , Danny Fox and Lambert – seven £1m-plus signings since Liebherr’s takeover.
Throw in Davis and Schneiderlin – two seven-figure signings already at the club pre-Liebherr – and tomorrow could see the most expensive side in Saints’ history fielded.
All a far cry from the era of Thomson, Lancashire, Paterson and Gillett.
Of course, the two men at the centre of the attention three years ago will not be at St Mary’s tomorrow.
Liebherr, sadly, will never see his dream of Saints back in the Premier League, and his death almost two years ago is still keenly felt by many supporters.
Pardew, meanwhile, will be trying to beat Saints next season with Newcastle.
When the two clubs meet, he will hopefully get a good reception.
Alan Pardew sowed the seeds of Saints’ revival, and that should never be forgotten.

remember the game well, in fact Bart was in goal and played well, but our defence was poor. Suarez was quality, however, we had a team saved by ML and he was a happy, excited man and we could support our team and I thought we'd get back to premier (not so soon & with AP). I'm there tomorrow and really excited about how we perform against an Ajax side who put 4 past Celtic.

I shall be there supporting the team that was saved by a man who has since departed our world. Just wish we could have the pleasure of seeing that big beaming smile. My eternal thanks MARKUS , i hope the boy's put on a good show for you against Ajax.

never believed when he took over that the progress to the premier would be so fast(but i am not complaining) - i am sure many fans will think of markus every game home and away , wishing he was there in person to see his dream come true.
a fantastic season ahead - bring it on .
ps august 10th is fast approaching but trevor birch still has another few £75k to collect before then

The transformation both ends of the M27 is amazing. Funny how our different fortunes ebb and flow opposite to each other. But not as funny as watching that lot.

I can't say I was much interested at all
but now I've been told that it's all fantastic and iconic I've changed my mind.
In fact I think it's a shame that we don't have events involving fantastic icons such as jumping over and throwing fantastic icons and running after fantastic icons propelled on an electric track. We could also have boat shaped fantastic icons to row and sail and events involving hopping, skipping and jumping over triple fantastic icons - not to mention relays involving handing over a fantastic small icon to the next runner. I think the committee should also have marketed a fantastically iconic life-sized blow-up Australian female beach volleyball player.
I'm so excited about the whole fantastically iconic event now that the BBC have told me it really is fantastically iconic.
Good old BBC. But for them telling me how massively sad and moving everything was at Princess Diana's funeral I wouldn't have had that massively big and fantastically iconic moment crying my eyes out.
Of course my mind may have just been manipulated today by the fantastically iconic BBC coverage, but if it has, it's certainly manipulation on a fantastically iconic scale and that's fantastically iconic in itself.
Off for a fantastically iconic 'Opening Day coffee and digestive biscuit!

We were so close to what Poopey are feeling now. So I dont wish that on my worst enemny..let alone our greatest rival. And besides theres no guarantee that after a few years keeping up with the Mancinis, Wengers, Fergies we dont over extend ourselves again. (Not that Nicola in charge we should, but you never know. Its easy to get carried away.)
Anyway I'm not worrying about that or Poopey right now, I just cant stop siling ..Saints are back in the Big League (where we belong)

On a separate more contentious thread, my straw poll suggests that most fans seem to be divided into "pro" the new kit (which is nearly ALL RED) because they always buy a new one or are always ready to embrace change (for changes sake?) without question -a modern and irrational development or "agin"- it's just not Saints, it ain't really red and white and it doesn't relate to anything in the past thus far. The latter is a majority view too, as I'm sure most fellow fans (STH or otherwise) will agree from their own straw polls.

Prem soccer news will take second place today to the BBC's Olympic coverage where everything this morning is being described every few minutes as 'fantastic' and 'iconic' - including the 'fantastic' archery already under way at the 'iconic' Lords ground.
I can't say I was much interested at all
but now I've been told that it's all fantastic and iconic I've changed my mind.
In fact I think it's a shame that we don't have events involving fantastic icons such as jumping over and throwing fantastic icons and running after fantastic icons propelled on an electric track. We could also have boat shaped fantastic icons to row and sail and events involving hopping, skipping and jumping over triple fantastic icons - not to mention relays involving handing over a fantastic small icon to the next runner. I think the committee should also have marketed a fantastically iconic life-sized blow-up Australian female beach volleyball player.
I'm so excited about the whole fantastically iconic event now that the BBC have told me it really is fantastically iconic.
Good old BBC. But for them telling me how massively sad and moving everything was at Princess Diana's funeral I wouldn't have had that massively big and fantastically iconic moment crying my eyes out.
Of course my mind may have just been manipulated today by the fantastically iconic BBC coverage, but if it has, it's certainly manipulation on a fantastically iconic scale and that's fantastically iconic in itself.
Off for a fantastically iconic 'Opening Day coffee and digestive biscuit!
I do still think that big red swirly thing by the Olympic stadium looks bobbins, though. What even is it?

Can it get better than this? Premier league,vying for top footballing talent,Im going for a top ten finish,deluded? probably.But happily deluded.
Think how to make short term gains and keep adding to it. I recommend you keep picking near favourites to win week to week and build a kitty.
Then you divide the winning kitty in half.
Half for the safe betting tips and then the half for the speckie accumulators.
If all is good, then you have the funds for the big poker games.

I wouldnt say the team is that different at all.
For example I, as a STH (padded seat section), can communicate with you as an STH (Ordinary), but not below that level. Whereas you can communicate with Non STH (frequent attendance including several away games) people. It's about one up or one down.
Despite his lowly status even Strassie gets it. I hope one day our paths will cross when I shall break with tradition and nod in his direction.
Marched at Tolpuddle the other day. Passed some trade unionists with a banner from Pompey. Can't remember which union, but I managed to get in a loud 'Up the Saints' as we passed within feet of each other

Not the qualification for a premier league player.
Probably get sold again next year when he helps Forest win promotion.
thanks Dan.

Youth players and a bit of experience in Kelvin, blueprint for the future set down a long time ago!
So all new signings now have to be better than what is already here or in our youth production line.. and if they can bring good experience with them, even better.
the club hasn't changed but all teams do within a week let alone 3 years.

Suarez was quality, however, we had a team saved by ML and he was a happy, excited man and we could support our team and I thought we'd get back to premier (not so soon & with AP). I'm there tomorrow and really excited about how we perform against an Ajax side who put 4 past Celtic.
