Hoping the Leicester owners are ok. Helicopter crashed.
 
Doesn't look good at all. Amulance and ambulance car left the scene slowly and without flashing lights. Some French media sources are also claiming Claude Puel was on board, but that's obviously yet to be confirmed. Club statement tomorrow. Along with the Brighton fan passing away during the Wolves match it's been a god awful day.

I have a comfortable enough relationship to be able to when need arises. But this isn’t really the forum to discuss ones beliefs.


The other lad they have in the *** assault is still awaiting extradition.

Unfortunately lack of any updates after almost 24h hours can only mean one thing. Not only everybody on board has died, but police are probably struggling to identify the bodies after crash and subsequent fire.
 
That's sad as the impression we got from Leicester and their fans is that the owners were not your stereotypical don't give a ****. They actually supported the community, donated £2million to local hospital and were thought of highly. I don't know what it is about helicopters but I just always think there is a disaster waiting to happen. That's just me and my opinion though, these things are obviously rare but still shocking when stuff like this happens.

Yeah sadly looking like the case. Just unreal. Wasn't just a great owner, but also a lovely kind, generous guy, and his daughter on board too. Can't even begin to imagine what family and friends are going through.
 
And if all of this wasn't grim enough apparently one the pilots was a Polish Lady.

Quite a success story. Came to UK as an educated dietician, without knowing the language, ended up making pilot license and flying private jets and helicopters for billionaires.

***** sake.

If there’s any truth to what I heard earlier, then she’s a hero. Apparently she diverted and avoided crowds to avoid mass killings when the helicopter lost control.

RIP to all who lost their life.

yeah but how would anyone really know that unless you were literally on that helicopter? Not to downplay the tragic circumstances one bit, but I would assume that would of been handled by the main pilot Eric Swaffer. Especially in an emergency situation like that, however it was done they acted heroically crashing in one place they wouldn't harm civilians or even infrastructure.
 
Yeah there is no point speculating, I'm sure there's gonna be an investigation and those usually take months. But right now it seems that Swaffer was at the wheel and she was a co-pilot or a backup.
 
As much as I hate Madrid, they are in a similar situation to United and have acted pronto.... at least they might salvage something out of this season.

They are apparently trying to talk to Pochettino - which means Woody has to act fast if he wants him at OT.
Could be an interested couple of weeks ahead - unless they stick with the interim manager - which is the shortest odds to be fair.
 
What do you think of the rumours of the Super League?

16 clubs across Europe would join those clubs, but won't be allowed anymore to play in the UEFA competitions.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern München, Chelsea, Arsenal, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool and AC Milan.
Possibly Atlético Madrid. Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Marseille, Internazionale and AS Roma aswell if I should believe the news article.
 
Pretty sure that would be the final nail in the coffin for me if a breakaway ever happened.

Berlin Sunday then a couple days Belgrade- Fun trip to look forward to and a nice break. (Bar the serious potential for aggro Belgrade but you get the picture.)

Having a Euro away every other week- Not so much!

But this has been mooted for years and only serves as a threat to UEFA to increase the major clubs power so I doubt it happens any time soon.
