Hopefully, this will put an end to some of the speculation.

The french authorities yesterday said the plane was french owned but not registered in france.
Two things. It’s a normal reaction to be angry and to think “what if?” and “what the f**k”. Exasperation is normal when a young person dies in an unexpected and avoidable accident. So how does that manifest itself? In people looking for answers. Nobody has blamed the the board (board , not club) but if there are things that jump out at you as being a bit weird, the first thing you ask is “could the people in charge have done anything to avoid it?”. Had he crashed on a commercial flight people would be asking the same questions of the airline company or the pilots. When something tragic like this happens it’s obvious people are going to reach out to make sense of it.
Secondly, nobody is doubting Ken Choo and the rest of the board’s sadness, nor is anyone accusing them of acting unprofessionally since the news emerged.
You seem to consider EVERYTHING to be a premeditated and calculated attack on the board and owners.
The aircraft was an N reg aircraft which means its registered in America on the FAA database.
It’s registered to a consultancy firm in Suffolk who specialise in setting up trusts to allow individuals or companies to set aircraft up on the American register but operate them in the UK.
It also makes it harder to establish the real owner of the aircraft.
The plane is not owned by CCFC but belongs to Willie McKay, father of Sala's agent:

Still a lot is unknown though and will emerge in the days ahead and accusations or speculation without all the facts is counter-productive.
But I do think it proper for the Club to satisfy itself it did everything it should have given the investment in the player who had become one of its a major assets. That includes considering fairly promptly the continued future of CCFC in its struggle to remain a PL outfit.
Whatever the reaction is, it is not right to air these in public and speculate about them under 48 hours after the accident and before Sala is even pronounced deceased. Anyone can read these message boards, including players, friends, family etc and some posters are coming across as heartless and mercenary in their comments. There is a time and a place for discussions like this and this isn't it. Even in your comments above, you do give the impression that you have an 'agenda' in what you say by your faint praise of the way Ken Choo has acted - please explain what could he have done before the incident to avoid it happening, bearing in mind the confirmation that the plane and travel arrangements were nothing to do with the club.
