JUST SO HEART BREAKING “ EMILIANO SALA “

Gutted for the 2 families, I honestly feels like losing a member of my family stomach been churning all morning

Very very sad news. My thoughts are with the families of both men. Really tragic. i am sure that all Cardiff and Nantes fan, as well as the wider football community are praying for a miracle, but fearing the worst.

Allan didn't mean any harm with his post, lay off him guys, lets all pray for Sala and the pilot at this awful time.

Problem is he showed no respect, then puts up a smiling imogee at end of post and he has not even appologised but puts up another post with a thumbs up!
Sorry but that is completely disrespectful behaviour and shouldn't be defended.

What to city do now? We are desperate for a striker now this! Club must be in turmoil with this news hope premier league gives us special dispensation to get replacement after deadline only 9 days away now!

Unbelievable. One of the most disrespectful posts I’ve ever read. It’s just football it comes a distant 2nd to this. Maybe instead of worrying about Cardiff striker issues you should prioritise a long hard look at your life values.

Shocking.

Agree with you mate. Bizarre post from Allan.

FFS..why are people arguing .

show some respect..

He posted respect earlier in another thread, just drop it now, it's pointless.

PRAY FOR SALA

Things like this, we all put rivalries apart as this is a really shocking piece of news
Let's hope the people on board are still found safe and alive

A sad day for our great sport

Thank you mate, some nice words there.

Football means nothing right now

A search model was created on SARIS, based on the likely ditching position, and all search and rescue assets were tasked to the area.

The search was terminated at 02:00, with all search and rescue assets being stood down, due to strengthening winds, worsening sea conditions and reducing visibility.


At this time no trace of the missing aircraft had been found.

The aircraft departed Nantes at 1915 for Cardiff. The aircraft was flying at 5000 feet. The aircraft on passing Guernsey requested descent. Jersey ATC lost contact whilst it was flying at 2300 feet.

Air Search 1 and a French rescue helicopter based in Cherbourg, resumed the search of the area at 08:00.

Your spot on. He’s even then tried to deflect by saying a friend dropped dead the other day. He also thinks still that tomorrow is the right time to start a new thread. Which shows all he really cares about is a new striker.
Showing himself to be a vile self centred individual.

Absolutely devastated at this news.
Thoughts go out to family and friends of the pilot and Sala. Gutted.

maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to delete and re start the thread and allow people to give it the respect it deserves mate.

Such Tragic News. Prayers and Thoughts are with Sala and his Family at this time.

Guernsey police doing updates on their Twitter feed

French authorities have confirmed that new Cardiff City player Emiliano Sala was on board the plane which disappeared over the English Channel on Monday night.

ITV News has spoken to French journalist Arnaud Wajdzik in Nantes. He has confirmed that the French police and Nantes Football Club have said that Sala was on the plane.

The French civil aviation authority also confirmed Sala was aboard a light aircraft that disappeared from radar.

The Piper Malibu light aircraft disappeared north of Alderney on its way to Cardiff airport.
An air and sea search has been launched after the plane disappeared from radar in the English Channel.

Guernsey Police says rescue teams were scrambled to waters north of Alderney after the light aircraft vanished on Monday evening.

"A search and rescue operation is currently underway off the north of Alderney after a light aircraft disappeared from radar several hours ago."
Guernsey Police said the Piper PA-46 Malibu, a single turbine engine aircraft carrying two people, departed Nantes at 7.15pm for Cardiff and was flying at an altitude of 5,000ft.

On passing Guernsey it "requested descent", but Jersey air traffic control (ATC) lost contact with the plane while it was flying at 2,300ft.

Guernsey Coastguard received an alert at 8.23pm from Jersey ATC that a light aircraft had gone off their radar approximately 15 miles north of Guernsey.
The Argentine striker signed a three and-a-half year deal for Cardiff City from FC Nantes for an undisclosed club record fee on January 19.

The 28-year-old has scored 13 league and cup goals this season - making him the third-top scorer in Ligue 1 behind Kylian Mbappe and Nicolas Pepe.
Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman issued a statement on Tuesday morning saying the club was "very concerned" for Sala's safety.

"We are very concerned by the latest news that a light aircraft lost contact over the Channel last night. We are awaiting confirmation before we can say anything further. We are very concerned for the safety of Emiliano Sala.”

Hoping for the best, but worrying times. This is one of those moments where football becomes completely irrelevant. Just hope that they are both found safely, and can be re-united with their families asap.

This is exactly the problem with changing titles, adding details to original post, etc. I think this is a great idea. It's been altered so much everything is out of context now...

The original post was before 6am this morning and very vague. It doesn't resemble that anymore.

Allan you are entitled to ask a question but maybd havd a think before you do next time, i am a new poster and i am amazed and embarrassed by what i read and i have seen no apology from you. Perhaps like you i have supported the club since a kid in the mid 70s so i have earned right to reply.

Horrific news, just doesn't seem real somehow.

This is tragic

so hard to take in, praying for a miracle for his family.

I agree people will have had time to let the sad news sink in, and reflect on the situation.
