Helicopter crash involving Leicester City owners

God what awful news. Terrible stuff

Bloody awful day for football. Tragic for Leicester. Prayers for everyone impacted by this.

Incidents like this remind how crushing and tragic both the Torino team and Munich aircrashes would have been when news broke, the impact is cushioned for us because (except for much older fans) we only read about the facts post facto.

You are right. Although very young living through the Munich tragedy will never leave me.

My thoughts to all connected with LCFC : (

What a terrible accident, my heart goes out to all the families who have lost friends & loved ones, a very sad day for football, but we carry on just like we all did after the tragic events at Hillsborough, Valley Parade, Munich & Celtic all those years ago, RIP.

Celtic?

Seems a long time now with no announcement on casualties. Absolute tragedy. Thoughts and prayers with the LCFC family

I know the son wasn't at the game but if he was in Thailand maybe he is heading over to break the news hence the delay in any announcement?
Whilst he is no doubt grieving if as expected his father has died the Thai people are very honourable and may be he sees it as his duty to be the one to inform the people of Leicester and the wider world what has happened

So very sad - seemed a nice man from what I have read.

Donated £2 million to a local hospital.

Thoughts to all at Leicester city. A great club.

Terrible news, just woke up and seen the news on tv

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I just hope whomever was in there died on impact. All the money in the world counts for fuck all when your number's up.

RIP to all and deepest sympathies to anyone touched by this tragedy.

LCFC fan in peace.

Some of your fans as well as from other clubs came to our forum to show their sympathy and say some very kind words. It means a lot and I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We sincerely mean it Joe.

Have we heard whether the Manager is safe and not on board as was previously thought ?

Really worrying, that. You’d expect that, given the rumours, it would have been said that he was ok by now.

It certainly is Pigeonho.

 

[rickmcfc]

Still no news. I think we can all agree that this can only point to one conclusion that all on board sadly lost their lives. It’s now a case of waiting to see who was on the helicopter.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

A French paper is reporting that Puel wasn't on board.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Celtic?

I assume he means Rangers and Ibrox, they were playing Celtic that day.... I think? It may even have been the wall collapsed on to the Celtic supporters?

 

[rickmcfc]

A French paper is reporting that Puel wasn't on board.

Let’s hope that is the case. Losing an owner in an accident is one thing, but a manager/player is a whole new kettle of fish.

The paper is saying both Puel and his wife are safe and well.

Reports coming from France that Puel is alive and well and wasn't on board. Apparently he may have been doing interviews at the time of the crash.
