I think that's a topic for another day Allan.

Truly shocking.

This is like the announcement of the death of gary speed completly and utterly shocking news this morning.

This is sickening news..unfortunately if there were any survivors they would almost certainly been found by now

Only grain of comfort is that no wreckage has been sighted yet. Maybe just maybe they managed to land somewhere but unfortunately it’s not looking good

Thoughts with friends and family of those onboard

Agree somebody has possibly died .forget football its meaningless in comparison to this.

The British coastguard said in a statement that it was assisting Guernsey Coastguard with a search for a light aircraft missing off Alderney in the Channel Islands, but that the plane had not yet been found.

Guernsey police said the missing aircraft had been flying from Nantes to Cardiff with two people on board.

A record signing for Cardiff, 28-year-old Argentinian striker Sala completed a move to the Premier League club at the weekend but had returned to France, where he had been playing for Ligue 1 side Nantes.

French media, quoting police sources, said Sala was on the light aircraft that disappeared from radar on Monday night while apparently flying from Nantes to Cardiff.

Cardiff told the BBC that they are "seeking clarification" over what has happened.

Sala had signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Welsh club after scoring 12 Ligue 1 goals in 19 appearances this season.

NEW CARDIFF SIGNING EMILIANO SALA 'ABOARD MISSING PLANE' FROM NANTES

Daily Mirror

Cardiff City's new record £15million signing Emiliano Sala was on board a missing private jet from Nantes to the Welsh capital, Mirror Football understands.

A major search operation is underway after the light aircraft disappeared from radar near the Casquets lighthouse on Alderney in the Channel Islands.


Guernsey Police revealed that the Piper Malibu - a single-engine plane carrying a pilot and the Bluebirds' record signing - has been missing since 8.30pm on Monday night.

I'm not a man of god but I'm praying now for both Emiliano and the pilot...... Come on god......

A statement from police on Guernsey, a British island just off the coast of France, said lifeboats and helicopters had searched for several hours for the plane, which had two people on board, without success.

"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," the statement said.

Helicopters from the British and French coastguard joined renewed efforts on Tuesday morning to find the plane which is thought to have crashed.

Sala, 28, who had been at Nantes since 2016 and had scored 12 league goals this season, had signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with relegation-threatened Cardiff subject to receiving international clearance.

When he put pen to paper at Cardiff on Saturday, he said in a statement: "I'm very happy to be here. It gives me great pleasure and I can't wait to start training, meet my new team-mates and get down to work.

"For me it feels special (to be the club's record signing). I have come here wanting to work and to help my team-mates and the club."

Football is irrelevant today

Awful to hear the news. Please God lets hope the pilot and Sala is found and all is ok.

I keep thinking / hoping the same but I'm afraid it all stacks up to the worst possible news I fear

I am sick to the pit of my stomach and pray to God everything turns out ok. Emiliano Sala is one of our own

Certainly isn’t looking good if they still haven’t found any wreckage

Who is this Allan, is there something wrong with him? Right now CCFC doesnt matter ffs

I'm not a man of god but I'm praying now for both Emiliano and the pilot...... Come on god......

Our thoughts are with everyone concerned a 28-year-old in the prime of his life, it doesn't bear thinking about.

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.

Absolutely devastating news

A search has been launched for a small plane that went missing over the Channel Islands while carrying two passengers, one of whom is feared to be new Cardiff City FC signing Emiliano Sala.

The 28-year-old Argentinian striker was signed by the Welsh club for £15m on Saturday and was due to arrive in Cardiff on Monday night from the French city of Nantes.

Air Traffic Control has confirmed that an aircraft disappeared from radar near the Casquets lighthouse on Alderney in the Channel Islands at around 8.30pm, BBC reports.

“Genuine concerns” were raised after Sala failed to respond to messages on social media, says the broadcaster.

French news agencies are reporting that the footballer was on board the two-seater Piper Malibu, although the claim has not been confirmed by authorities.

A major search operation has been launched, Guernsey Police announced today.
A statement from the force said: “Guernsey Coastguard received an alert at 20:23 from Jersey ATC, that a light aircraft had gone off their radar approximately 15 miles north of Guernsey, initiating a major search and rescue operation involving both St Peter Port and Alderney lifeboats. Air Search 1 and 2 HM Coastguard helicopters are also involved in the search.”

The search was abandoned in the early hours of Tuesday owing to adverse weather conditions and poor visibility, but has since resumed, Sky News reports.

Shocking news very upsettin,does anyone know if he got kids?
