Do we know if Wes or Claude are due to say anything at all?

 

This isnt a off the cuff dig or anything just not sure what happens from now really

 

I don’t know but I think they are both men who would put personal feelings aside at such a terrible time. 

 

They maybe don’t feel like they need to publicly show their feelings if they are hurting badly. Maybe even more so if they had ill feeling at one point (I’m not saying that’s true).

Spent the last few days trying to write something on here and then breaking down or just giving up. There aren’t enough words to do justice to the man that made us who we are today. The best days of our lives are owed in large part to his vision, generosity and ambition. I genuinely never even dreamed we could achieve what he lead us to. To make it even more painful he also had to be the most charitable and caring owner a club and city could ever hope for. I just pray that he knew just how much he meant to us all.

It might not be a popular opinion around here, but Ian Stringer has been tremendous throughout all this.

Out there in the cold and it seems to me he's barely slept.

Personally felt he was insensitive to Taggart earlier today. Pushed him for a response when clearly he was hurt

Evening all,

 

As a Wolverhampton Wanderers fan, I just wish to pop by and give all my love and condolences to Vichai, all 4 others who were lost on Saturday and to each and every one of you. As a lover of the beautiful game, the last 2 days have been totally dreadful, in trying to let such info sink in. Even working as a Steward at Celtic V Hearts in Edinburgh yesterday felt in my mind, the most irrelevant shift I'd ever done.

 

I sit here typing this - wearing my club's Aqua Blue 2015/16 Away Shirt, of which every time I'll now wear it will make me think of your wonderful club.

 

Never I will forget May 2nd 2016 - listening to the ultimate dream be realised on Radio 5 Live and tears of joy bursting down, having seen the greatest fairy-tale in the history World Club Football. Logic was somewhat defied, but in a way that changed the scope of the Premier League and grant all fans a story that will be told long, long after we depart.

 

By way of tribute, when appearing on BBC Breakfast tommorow morning through Sheffield Hallam University where I study Politics (I'm on in relation to the Budget), my Dark Blue tie shall be worn - solely to signify that my heart goes out to the club and the City, after something utterly un-comprehend-able.

 

And I expect and for Wolves v Spurs on Saturday something to be done pre-game alongside a Armistice 100 commemoration. No doubt something will be stated once Wanderers announce Saturday's events - whatever of which will be an emotional sight.

 

In one final thought, the way in which King Power and Vichai guided the Foxes to such success, is making me dream as big as you all, that at some point soon and through the kind masterful decisions your board took, ourselves will once again reach the pinnacle and fighting against LCFC for it.

 

Leicester City's title makes us all dream that much stronger, that anything is deemed possible and Vichai shall be forever be credited, as the man who made it happen.

 

Much love.

 

Kashmire

I know that even though none of us knew you well Vichai but my god do we all love you not just because of what you have done for our club but how you made each and every single one of us feel like family, and we will do our best to look after your family.

 

I keep wanting this to be a horrible nightmare and that I'm going to wake up any second now and everything is gonna be okay.

 

This just isn't sinking in and it's strange that I'm feeling like this for someone I only met once or twice very very briefly. 

 

I've been down to the King Power twice now mainly just to try to make sense of it all and somehow process all of it and I will be going back tomorrow to sign the book of condolence. 

 

We love you Vichai may you rest in peace.

It's genuinely not the case of someone being spoken of well just from the fact they're dead, Kun Vichai could've come in with all the swagger and cockiness in the world after buying the Club, getting promoted, winning the League but he was humble, relatable, loving, thoughful, compassionate and much more for the entire ride.

 

The Footballing world's reaction has been overwhelimingly respectful and touching, you really don't fully appreciate what you have until its gone.

 

Not beyond the realms of possibility he gets another Royal recognition, from the British monarchy this time. His impact on the City and the reflex to his loss on a national level is tangible
