Story developing that new cardiff signing may have been on board small aircraft which has gone missing overnight. If true how very sad, travelling to start playing for his new club. Hopefully all on board found safe

Sad news at this time but I hope all ends well and the occupants of the plane are found safe.

Apparently started the search last night for the plane, called it off and resumed today, as yet no more information is available... absolutely devastated for Sala, the pilot and their families...

No sign of life apparently from what I've heard they have found the plane. Such a shame.

I see that the pilot was from Crowle and had worked at the Hibaldstow Skydiving Centre.

A group of friends did a charity skydive for Brain Tumour UK a few years back from there, so it's likely he was one of the pilots when they did their dive.

All hope of finding anyone alive now has gone unfortunately, a very sad incident and thoughts with the two missing and their families.

BBC reporting the wreckage has now been found. At least this tragic case will reach some sort of conclusion relatively quickly, although it's a desperately sad outcome by the looks of it.

This is such a sad story. For me it is made even sadder by the way it all came about through an agent Willie McKay. From The Telegraph -

McKay admits making arrangements for the doomed flight, having told his usual pilot David Henderson: "Dave, I need a plane." However, unbeknownst to McKay, part-time engineer Dave Ibbotson, 59, was at the controls when the Piper Malibu went missing on January 21 after leaving Nantes for Cardiff.

In the prior email, McKay told Sala how Cardiff "will pay you around £50,000-per-week, plus bonuses, on a contract of four to five years. And whoever accompanies you, whether it is your agent or your mother, who, according to English law, can represent you, could claim around £1m from the deal."

He added: "It is said that you did not want to go to Cardiff. It is probably our fault because we have said in the media that other clubs like West Ham, Everton, etc were interested in order to create an interest around you."

McKay suggests he can eventually get Sala a move to "Manchester, Liverpool and Chelsea" should he sign for Cardiff. He wrote on Jan 8: "We are not interested in personal affairs; finances, holidays, baby-sitting, that is not our business."

McKay referenced the multi-million pound deals that his family had been involved in, adding: "We make transfers! More than 600 until today, from Didier Drogba, to (Nicolas) Anelka, (Dimitri) Payet, (Jean Michael) Seri, (André-Frank Zambo) Anguissa. Let us introduce you to the way we operate and how we came to this Cardiff City saga. We work for clubs in France, and for players who want to be transferred to England. As far as you are concerned, we have talked to all the clubs, including Manchester, Chelsea, Liverpool. We think you could end up in such clubs.

“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."
