Helicopter crash

[ACF]

Absolutely gutted, this man has played the biggest part in giving me some of the best days in my life and I’m sure these feelings are absolutely replicated with fans  of both Leicester and of others.

 

Keep the faith.

Woke up thinking it was all a nightmare. Prayers go out to everyone’s families at this time. Can’t belive it 

[Shev]

Wycombe fan here. Deepest condolences to everyone at the club. The whole football world united in amazement at your miracle title - now may we all unite in support for your loss.

Been following this since it happened, still hoping for good news, but it looks bleak :(

You're not wrong there

[fox766]

I have been following this all night whilst also at work. Just praying for some good news. Absolute massive thank you to all the other club fans for your quite beautiful words of support. It means alot to us all.

[deanolegend1989]

Absolutely devastated, I literally feel numb. I cant sleep.

The most terrible news in our history.

I cant help feeling that if he wasn't board the plane, someone would of rung him after hearing the news and he would respond and then it would be straight in the news hes been heard safe.

No news if bad news and if hes in the plane which seems very likely then how an earth is he going to be alive? Its absolutely shocking!

[nnfox]

This is just terrible.  I'm in a state of shock.  Thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved.

[FoxonMaui]

Just devastated by this, just awful news. 

[rn9013]

A source close to the family have confirmed to the BBC that the chairman was on board. 

 

I can’t sleep. I’ve never met our owners but the manner in which they’ve conducted themselves and the way they enabled dreams to come true means I hold them closer to my heart than I realised. I’m absolutely devastated. 

 

Thoughts and prayers with the families of all those onboard. 

[Wymsey]

Can see someone like Susan Whelan giving out a press conference providing information about this.

May well, and understandably, be broadcasted on Sky News etc at 09:00 etc with a massive media scrum at the club all day.

[promised land]

Radio 4 news just said it understands the owner was in the helicopter.

 

Devastating news if it’s true, met and shook his hand in the concourse at the London stadium last season when he stood amongst us and saw him in Madrid when he walked into the plaza.

 

Fantastic person and family, thoughts going out to all onboard the helicopter.

 

He didn’t have to walk into 5000 City fans that day but he did to see for himself, likewise when he stood in the stand at the London Stadium. 

 

Hoping beyond hope hope a miracle or two will appear.

Getting sober looks from people while wearing a Leicester shirt today.

Most notable from a bloke wearing a Liverpool jacket. Pretty sure I'm still dreaming, nightmare, and my club isn't on its legs.

[bake]

I'm a Liverpool fan. You guys achieved the sporting achievement of my lifetime in 2016. I can't imagine how much everyone involved in that must mean to you. From a human perspective, it's messed up. From a football fans perspective, it's heartbreaking. Much love.

[Rusko187]

This is affecting me way more than I thought, had some sleep but woke up in tears and feeling sick. 

 

Its such a terrible thing to happen and for it to be so close to home and effect an extended family... I can't quite believe what's happened!

[HammerMS]

West Ham fan with a white flag....

 

Thoughts are with everyone associated with the club. Was one of the few owners not driven by greed and seemed to genuinely love the club, supporters of the club and the area the club is in.

 

Not one to comment usually but the comment on Vichai leaving a bottle of Whisky in the memorial gardens every game got me.....especially as we had to battle our owners for years to reluctantly stump up a few quid to clean ours up due to neglect after the move......

 

Genuinely gutted for you all.

 

Peace x

[greenflash2]

Thoughts are with you Foxes, the fairytale club.

 

Plymouth Argyle fan

[Brownhills Wolf]

Such shocking and saddening news... I am a Wolves fan hear in peace... 

 

Thoughts are with you all, and deepest condolences to all involved... Your amazing achievement in 2016 has meant many clubs believe with clever ownership and great management they too can achieve and rock the establishment just the you guys did... 

 

Deepest respect and genuine concern from the West Side of the Midlands 

[Foxesneverquit86]

Struggling to deal with this, keep refreshing the page, bbc radio on all night hoping for the slightest glimmer of hope. Had little sleep. Feels like it's happened to a close family member well the owners are our family. Hoping and praying that all on board somehow got out someway. Sorry about the post need to get this out and had no one else to to turn to 

[MrLuke]

Woke up this morning and it took a second before I realised last night wasn’t a bad dream. Only crumbs of comfort have been from the wider football community who’ve taken the time to come on here with their condolences which means the world, thank you all.

 

Also, it shows the amazing spirit of FT. I know hardly any of you but have followed the (ocassonally mad) chat on here for years, it’s become a part of my daily routine. The togetherness on here only strengthens my love for this crazy club.

 

Thanks all.

[raba]

Harrowing news to wake up to this morning, so sad. My thoughts are with you all. 

[OldEastEnder]

Stoke City supporter here sending everyone at LCFC and their families and supporters heartfelt condolences on this unimaginable tragedy. The entire footballing and sporting world is with you.

[LUFC92]

Leeds fan in deepest sympathy. Awful news, thoughts with you all at this dreadful time.

Humanity>football.
