Cardiffs record signing emiliano salah was meant to be on board

Doesnt look good

Damn, this is shocking. Can only hope it turns out fine but I can’t see it somehow.

 

[robfosters]

Been confirmed on board now. Oh dear, a plane going down at night in January in the waters around the channel islands is very unlikely to have a happy ending.

This is absolutely awful.

Only signed on saturday

You know it's not going to be your year when this happens.

Surprised it doesn't happen more often though with the amount of flights professional sports people take on a daily basis around the world.

That highlights that flying is generally safe, it's just them when there are accidents they are usually catasthrophic.

Poor lad. Hoping everyone's found safe but we all know the odds on that.

 

[McBain]

Just read this, grim

 

[robfosters]

Still no sign and it’s almost dark.

Is it too brutal to say that in all probability, he’s at the bottom of the sea

 

[wedrum]

nope does not look good.

i know its a horrid thought at this time, but what happens in a situation like this?

is the club insured against the loss of an asset?

£18million spent you would think that they put contingencies in place

Horrible news. Hopefully by some miracle he and all on board are safe.

I was discussing this with my boss. I’d assume insurance would be in place to mitigate the losses. I suppose the question is also what was the actual fee and then how much is add ons. And then how that would be treated.

You can bet there's lawyers involved already, transfer contracts are complicated at the best of times

 

[Kelt]

Parts of wreckage found, so all hope gone.

RIP to Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson.

Edit:

Updated information on the pilot...a part time pilot and gas engineer...

 

[nemtizz]

Utterly tragic.

I was reading his tweets the other day after he joined Cardiff. Seemed a really down to earth guy.

 

[Shamikebab]

Horrible, RIP

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Hoping they've somehow managed to survive but doesn't look good
