    Helicopter of Leicester City owner crashed near the stadium, owner was supposedly on board and died along with all other passengers.
    Brutal.

    Rumors that England manager Southgate was also on the helicopter, would be insane.

    Terrible. Still no details, that's not a good sign. The team owner is dead for sure, he would've let everybody know if he hadn't been on board.

    Should be an announcement soon.

    Horrible news, i read a small part of Claude Puel interview with radio France and it was heartbreaking.

    It was his helicopter and pretty much every source stated he was on board, his company also told a Guardian reporter the same thing.
    Channels like BT Sport had a cam on the helicopter before take-off and surely others had as well, so it is pretty telling that there has been absolutely zero info/ proof via photos or videos of him entering the helicopter leaked to the public, as it indicates that news outlets are prohibited from leaking who has died. Would make sense given that his death affects stocks and the company etc, so everything will have to be made public in the right legal manner.

    5-1 loss in El Clasico should settle Lopeteguis destiny. The whole Spanish football lost that deal.

    I couldn't agree more.
    It's time to put on a suit and stand outside of the bernabeu.
    I think I'll do a good job.

    Heartbreaking, it's unbelievably sad to hear that 5 pepole lost their life in this accident.

    Remaineds me a bit of the Villa Castelli helicopter crush and it's just chilling to think that today should have been Camille Muffat 29 birthday.

    Lopetegui officially sacked, 2nd team coach Solari Interim-Coach. New long-term solution will be presented within two weeks, probably Conte.

    Actually not sure that they will sign Conte. If so, why was Lopetegui not sacked before todays training and why do they have to install an interim-coach? Guess they are not 100% sure about him. Everybody's favorite player Sergio Ramos spoke out against him.

    I agree, Conte looks like a backup plan.
    They might have someone else and they want to try and convince him or they wanna take the time to try and prepare the team to Conte(especially if Ramos is aginst him).

    Either that or Chelsea making negotiations difficult. Newest rumor is Roberto Martinez, current coach of the Belgian national team.
