Vichai has done so much - not just for the club - but for the entire city and everyone in it. He and his family have made us world famous, given us some of our best memories. I truly pray for a miracle.

If he has died, its a crazy world

A good and generous man that has donated 3 million to Leicester Hospitals Charity in the last 2 years

Its a cruel world

Hi foxes, 

 

Liverpool supporter from Israel here. Just want you to know that we all support you and send our prayers no matter where in the world we are. This is the magic in football, at the end of the day we are one big family regardless of our religion or nationality. 

Stay strong and you'll never walk alone.

Hi all, another Leeds fan just wanting to add my wishes of support to you all tonight. 

 

Your owners have given you the ultimate dream in football and for that will always be admired by the football community. But having read the full topic tonight, you can quite clearly tell there is much more to them than that; only genuinely kind and good people bring out such concern and worry at a time like this. We all follow football and recognise what they’ve done for you as a club, but it is that obvious fact that they are good people which makes you plead to anything that’ll listen that they are safe and pull through this tragedy. 

 

Of course, my wishes and support go to anyone else on board not directly linked to the club too. The scenes have been horrible to see on TV. My wishes of support go out to all of you as Leicester fans, I can only imagine what is going through your minds and hearts right now and that in itself is heartbreaking enough. 

 

You’ll all be in my prayers tonight. Good bless you all. 

[Chicken Kiev]

Absolutely awful to hear of whats just happened, thoughts go out to all the families of those involved.

A reminder that there are so many more important things in this world than football.

[hejammy]

Like others I'm truly lost for words, for what the owners have done for our club we will forever treasure. 

 

One thing that keeps going around my head, after the game was listening to the radio and stringer mentioned a supporter stand up towards vichai and pretend to tie a noose as an indication for Puel to go and Vichai just just stared at him. Life is a funny old thing. Thoughts are with all the family's and loved ones onboard.

Hi Ipswich Fan here. 

 

My thoughts,prayers and condolences go out to everyone at Leicester City and the familys of those involved.

Villa fan here. Terrible terrible news thinking of all you LCFC fans at this awful time God bless you, hope you can come through this

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

Supporting City has always been like following Harchester United on Dream Team with all the promotions/relegations, trophies and off-field dramas but this is just a surreal situation. 

[Buzzell]

The response from other clubs fans is amazing. Really it means a lot. Thank you.

[Raj]

Football pales into insignificance today.

Thanks to all the fans from all clubs.

We are a football family no matter what our colours etc.

We're all with you, all of us. From Accrington to Yeovil. 

 

You're the club that showed us all that anything is possible. I hope this doesn't go the way we all fear it has, but know that we'll be right behind you.

 

Please, let there be one more miracle.

 

Leeds fan.

This is a tragedy for the family and the club. We owe so much to this man and his family and we want to express our deepest sympathies to them.

 

A black day for Leicester.

Just want to thank every other teams fans that have signed up to show their support. I've ran out of "likes" to give, but your support really shows us football fans aren't a bad bunch. We're all in this together ❤

Quite right my friend, aside from the (assumed at this point) terrible personal tragedies, the football word will stand with your club and fans in the dark days to come

 

 

[Martfromwestham]

The result means nothing after this. My deepest respects go to your football club. Terrible news and we are all with you in solidarity. ❤️

[Silva Fox]

I dread to think what news the coming hours will bring but I do know however devastating this turns out to be, LCFC fans and the wider footballing world will unite in a show of solidarity, support and respectful reflection for all those involved.

Just the most appalling news to hear this evening. You will draw strength from each other in these dark times and should know that the wider family of football fans is sending love, prayers and goodwill to LCFC, it's staff and fans everywhere.  

 

I know all Norwich fans will agree with me. We are thinking of you.
