Does not look good at all. So tragic. This guy took them from a midtable Championship team, to Champions of England in just 5 years. They should build a statue for him.
Same thinking
I’ve reading some really moving posts. He was truly loved for all the things he had done for the community and club. Terribly sad.
It really is disgusting. I’ve bought their rag on occasion, never again. Dreadfully bad behaviour from so called fans.
Amazing they just seem to ignore all the flak they're getting. They posted another highly insensitive tweet just two hours ago.
He made Leicester City's fans dreams come true and they will never forget him. So sad for the families of those lost and for Leicester City fans.
Yeah I'm pretty sure he wiped off all their debt as well.
Wait, BBC saying he was on it?
In defense of Red Issue... if it's just the one tweet I've seen, then I was expecting *much worse* based on this reaction.
In attack of Red Issue... Yeah, lack of empathy and general understanding from their part and they are being rightly slated for it.

BBC never confirmed anything about Puel.
Why would he do that? It’s not about him, it’s about the victims and their families. It’s not his fault, fans get lead by fake news from reporters.
It's more than one tweet. They posted another two hours ago.
Yeah you're right, my bad , i misread it was the owner not Puel.
There’s no defending them. They are a conglomaterate of cnuts. It will serve them right when they have to deal with personal tragedy.
It’s absolutely awful. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse - i.e. into a packed car park. Doesn’t bear thinking about.
They sound like some proper stand up guys. Makes this news go over even worse
Helicopter crashes are some of the worst, unfortunately. So many variables that negatively impact on chances of survival. Terribly sad time for everyone, thoughts are with the families of those on board.
Indeed. My friend's dad is a director on the board and I've heard great things about the owner. Flowers bought for board member's wives when visiting the stadium and other really kind gestures creating a close knit family not just amongst the fans and supporters, but right through the hierachy. He's a true example of an owner of a football club but creating a footballing family and community.
Only heard this this morning. Sad news, from what I've read about him, he sounded a real force for good in Leicester.
Was over at the Foxes Talk forum too, every comment makes you understand how loved the owners are at the club and in the city of Leicester as a whole. Heartbreaking.
To @Jimmy Skitz and other Leicester supporters here, I'm so sorry.

Puel reported to have spoken to French media in last hour.

Which tweet did you see?
I dunno how you can sit there and try to defend something that shows nothing but utter cuntishness
You could tell he was a gent by his usual demeanor. Hopefully his son can continue the good work at Leicester.
Some rumours doing the rounds that police were flying drones around after the match. Let’s hope that this isn’t connected to the crash.
I’ve just signed up to Foxestalk to offer my condolences. What an absolute tragedy

Absolutely indefensible and they have plenty of form for it. They’re nothing short of disgraceful.
This is very sad
They sounded like the perfect owners - if our club get new owners i hope they're just like Mr Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Hope no fatalities?
I think we all hope but the visual evidence and hours of silence indicate the opposite I'm afraid.
Looking at the footage and the aerial view from this morning, it would be an absolute miracle if anyone survived. We can but hope but it feels like we’re waiting for the inevitable to be confirmed now.
Thanks. Haven't seen the video. Just hearing about this accident for the first time.
RIP to all the victims.
Red issue is a bunch of vile, despicable cnuts.

Really puts everything into perspective, doesn't it?
There's nothing I could say that hasn't already been said, it's just so tragic.
I just hope all those on board didn't suffer, and I hope the loved ones they left behind are able to cope with this.
It sounds like the Leicester owner really helped impact the local community, I'm sure he'll get a fitting tribute when all is said and done.
Nothing else really to say, i'm just speechless

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

It’s almost 100% Certain that everyone on board that helicopter died.
