Leicester City Helicopter Crash (Match PP)

[John Boy Saint]

It wasn't exactly hard-core super slander.

Nope just a journalists mind at work - and the silly sod said what he thought out loud (well loud enough) in the wrong place.

Made worse by the fact that he works for a very respected organisation.

[whelk]

Yep, what a classless tw*t, his apology only seemed half hearted at best too. Sorry that he was caught out rather than the fact he said it.

 

Well he probably isn’t sorry. I wouldn’t get too sanctimonious about not having the correct reverence. Maybe he can put a few ‘RIPs’ and ‘thoughts and prayers’ and every one can be satisfied the right amount of ‘class’ has been shown.

Was she actually his mistress?

[Shroppie]

Does it matter?

Well there's a bit of difference between Dan roan stating a fact in a private conversation and making up stuff.

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

Very distressing footage of the helicopter losing control has emerged on social media. Seems like a staff member filmed it, and somehow (either through their doing or otherwise) it's made its way to the tabloids and YouTube. You don't see the actual crash, but you can hear it.

 

 

Such a horrible moment for all five people, their families, and everyone connected.

 

I read on the Leicester forum that apparently the Southampton squad drove up to the KP Stadium to pay their respects - very classy move by the club.

I wonder if that puff of smoke from/behind the main rotor blades is the norm?

 

Probably is and just an exhaust from start up...

[whelk]

Quite chilling seeing that

[Lord Duckhunter]

I’ll tell you what, Claudio Ranieri has some class. Can’t be too many sacked managers that would turn up and publicly pay their respects.

Yup. Class from Claudio.

 

Our game rescheduled to November 27th.

Thought that would be the date, but where have you seen it?

 

Edit: seen it on the Echo website.

Wow! What an absolute legend Claudio is! One of the most genuine people I've ever known of in football. Not just this, everything he does just oozes class.

According to aviation experts, quite normal apparently.

Currently unemployed too which means he’ll be on Les’s secret file of managers he’s tracked for years

Get him on the bus.

Nigel Pearson did as well. I suspect Sven has too, but not pictured.

Much as I respect Claudio, I think this says more about Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha than about Ranieri

What a strange thing to say.

[Vancouver Saint]

Tragic. Sincere condolences to all at Leicester from all of us I'm sure.

 

Just read this terrific article about the son and now new Chairman 'Top'.

These owners have a true emotional affinity with the club and the community. We had that with Markus and to a lesser extent with KL; the difference, however, with Gao is stark and revealing.

[benjii]

If Gao died we wouldn't need more than a post-it note of condolence, never mind a book.

 

I know that sounds harsh but, honestly, would anyone feel personally affected the way they did when Markus died?

Sadly, that's very true.

 

It was so clear that Markus loved the club and wanted success for the fans and the club, not his own personal gain. The same was obviously true of Vichai Srivaddhanaprahba.

 

I don't feel any connection whatsoever with Gao.

Exactly right sadly.

 

Really with an owner the fans want someone who connects with the club, an owner who gives the impression he gives a **** about our club.

 

I'd struggle to pick our owner out of a police line up.

Goven his alleged past there must be a joke about his alleged criminal past in that line somewhere?

Daft question. So now we are comparing deaths?

[Shroppie]

It's not daft at all. It's recognising how remote and detached our owner is compared with one who actually cared for the club and the fans.

 

Can you imagine Gao ever giving a £2m donation to Southampton hospitals?

Ok would you miss more if they died? Matt Le Tissier or Tadar?

 

It is stating it questioning the bleeding obvious.

 

This thread makes me weep with so much faux outpouring if I’m honest.

Ok, I give up. Which one is Gao?

[trousers]

Damn, missed off the photo. Doh. And can't edit now I'm not a member... Well that worked well. Back to the beer it is then...

 

[trousers]

P.s. apologies for the sonewhat poor taste post.

 

3 and out...

This is probably a bad time to drone on about the police.

[Delmary]

Yes. Only a rumour.

[OttawaSaint]

Sportsnet doing a tribute. They read out a tribute written by Kasper Schmeichal. Incredible how involved the chairman was, how he put belief into the players, was friends with the players, showed them his ambition and lifted them up.

 

Then you have Gao, I’d bet he doesn’t even know the way to our dressing room.

[scotty]

Yes. Only a rumour.

 

So they say, but looking at that footage you have to wonder. The experts seem very clear that it was a sudden failure of the tail rotor.
