First & foremost ............
.................R.I.P. Vichai, the 2 pilots and 2 crew who tragically lost their lives.
May you all be forever remembered, never forgotten.
Events over the last few days have been traumatic, dis-believing, surreal, and sad beyond belief.
The love shown by all our supporters and supporters of vast other clubs has been staggering.
The floral, flags, scarfs and tribute display has been immense and continues to ever-expand at the King Power Stadium.
The book(s) of condolence will be like a mini library when all is done. And so it should be.
I visited the stadium Monday evening with my wife to pay tribute with a shirt and a simple message of thanks to Vichai personally as i felt i had to. It's my club. It's Vichai's club. It's your club.
Although i didn't know what to do or say when there, it just gripped me how much this man meant to our city. Words here can't describe.
Scores of good people came and went having laid their own tribute or just to pay their respects to the people who lost their lives. And let us not forget that 5 people left us.
Top (Vichai's son) has witnessed the amazing out-pouring of love felt by the people of Leicester and far beyond, the affect that Vichai had on our club & city. Top would know this anyway. It took a devastating way to show it to us all before we actually realised.
I'm struggling for more words. Things & stories that keep appearing only enhance the reputation & stature that Vichai held in the world, not just here.
We had a diamond and lost a diamond of a man, friend and so much more.
Top has announced that he wants to carry out his fathers legacy for our club. Absolutely bloody amazing to state that in his grieving state as it currently is. Top is putting Leicester City first for the fans, just like his father did, despite being in mourning.
What a humble, magnificent statement to make in his own hour of need.
Top, your dad would be extremely proud of you. Believe it. You too are a gentleman.
I sincerely hope that all the players, staff and supporters pull together for Vichai and Top.
It's going to be emotional, difficult, but sincere along our next path for the club.
For coming out and saying this, Top, you deserve success & peace in your life. Thankyou.
R.I.P. Vichai and the 4 members of that fateful day.
LEICESTER CITY dream future to continue

I've been down to the King Power twice this week. The shrine there for your owner is truly a great thing, demonstrating how football can pull all people together. Everytime I read a Leicester fan or a Leicester player talk about him and what he meant to them it just gets me.
Leicester as a city have lost a great man. I hope that the outpouring of love for him serves as some condolence to his family.

Top’s message is wonderful news during a tragic time for the club. I’m pleased he sees it as his responsibility to carry on his dad’s amazing work, and I know we as fans will need to support him.
He will make mistakes, we all do. But we should look to the big picture always, and appreciate the club’s ownership.
I’ve always been hugely complimentary of the way our owners have run our club. I hope Top gives us the same spirit, community and leadership that his father gave.
Right behind you Top.
