They are at home against Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, no way that should be played.Tragic. He's done so much for Leicester as a football club and by all accounts he's helped the wider Leicester area in a variety of different projects.
Will be interesting to see when Leicester are next required to play. If the worst is confirmed you'd imagine the players wouldn't be in the right mind frame to play for a while.
Just an awful situation all round. Thoughts are with everyone affected.
we've already asked to postpone itThey are at home against Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, no way that should be played.
Understandable under the circumstances.we've already asked to postpone it
Can't see any reason at all why that wouldn't be granted.we've already asked to postpone it
Surely in this case though they knew the 5 people that got on the helicopter. If there are 5 bodies isn’t that enough evidence?They are not saying anything at the moment because they can’t recognise the corpses
There will be need dna tests etc to identify the victims correctly
What is really frustrating is some idiot has made up a rumour of Claude Puel being on the helicopter. How low can you be to make something up like that?It seems to be there are 2 sets of rumours flying round. On some Leicester forums they are saying owner, Puel and both their wives were passengers.
I hope this latest rumour is correct and he is Ok. Losing both would be a horrible blow to a club.
As others have stated they won't release a statement until all close relatives have been informed and with the time difference to Thailand that will be difficult to achieve quickly.
Just signed up on foxestalk forum just to post a message of support for what must be a horrible and depressing time for their city and club.
Not to be grim, but since there’s been an explosion it may be difficult to identitify the remains and obviously family members need to be informed first before anything is made public.BBC reporting that the owner was on board of the helicopter. One that puzzles me is that, how that takes so long to confirm who were on it and end the speculations of all the reports that went on all night?
I did see some names from the Cafe posting there. Also from many other teams’ fans. The members really do appreciate this huge outpouring of support.Nice one bud, I signed up last night too for the same reason, also posted that they all should ignore red issue and not give them the attention.
Family members may be requested to come and confirm it is indeed them also.Not to be grim, but since there’s been an explosion it may be difficult to identitify the remains and obviously family members need to be informed first before anything is made public.

Yes not sure on the source for that rumour. I saw it on a twitter feed from leicester fan.Surely in this case though they knew the 5 people that got on the helicopter. If there are 5 bodies isn’t that enough evidence?

Highly doubt that, not much to identify them on, they use DNAFamily members may be requested to come and confirm it is indeed them also.
Was that not just the stand in BBC news presenter saying the wrong word that sparked that off?What is really frustrating is some idiot has made up a rumour of Claude Puel being on the helicopter. How low can you be to make something up like that?
Yes with fire victims they will use anything they can rather than visual ID. They would definitely try and avoid putting family through that.Highly doubt that, not much to identify them on, they use DNA
The father of an old boyfriend died in a firy car crash when the gas can he had in his boot exploded. He heard about it on the radio news first. Poor guy was in shock.Yes with fire victims they will use anything they can rather than visual ID. They would definitely try and avoid putting family through that.
People need to understand that telling someone a loved one has died under such circumstances is a very tricky thing.
Can you imagine if you told the wrong person? The impact of such news can send the person into shock and even cause heart attacks or collapses.
If a relative sees "××××× death confirmed" and they have not been informed the consequences could be horrendous.
The fact that the owners name is now being confirmed implies that all of his immediate family have been made aware.
Whilst it is frustrating waiting for info the authorities will be wanting to ensure they do not make any mistakes.
Thundercunts. Like you said, them using an air accident in this manner is disgusting.It’s disgusting that Manchester United fans, of all people, would use of an air traffic accident to comment on our own owners. Absolutely disgusting. Top reds
Families not informed yet most likely.Is there a specific reason why they haven't released the information about the people on board? Seems strange to me.
I imagine identification of bodies in these circumstances can take a long time with all the tests the cornoner would have to do.Is there a specific reason why they haven't released the information about the people on board? Seems strange to me.
See my earlier post, pretty likely in this scenarioIs there a specific reason why they haven't released the information about the people on board? Seems strange to me.
Or just ignore it. The internet needs to stop giving air to idiots because it's what they want.Red Issue can feck off. Caf official twitter should call out Red Issue publicly on this. Shame them for being insensitive, especially when it is an air crash
Media milking the cow. They could have easily released all the info by now, even if unofficial, but that's not good for business. Better to have all the worried people clicking and clicking links in hope for any info.Is there a specific reason why they haven't released the information about the people on board?

Stupidest fecking thing i've read in a long time.Media milking the cow. They could have easily released all the info by now, even if unofficial, but that's not good for business. Better to have all the worried people clicking and clicking links in hope for any info.
What on earth? I'm shocked that someone actually thinks like this.Media milking the cow. They could have easily released all the info by now, even if unofficial, but that's not good for business. Better to have all the worried people clicking and clicking links in hope for any info.
This is almost certainly not the case.Media milking the cow. They could have easily released all the info by now, even if unofficial, but that's not good for business. Better to have all the worried people clicking and clicking links in hope for any info.
