It seems strange that, whilst the club were happy to offer the services of the private jet for the discussion on terms and the medical, once he had signed the travel offer seemed to be a Nantes - Paris - London - Cardiff trip on a scheduled airline, train and taxi. One would hope that the jet was perhaps being used for other club business at that time, possibly other transfer targets
What do you think the clubs policy will be going forward? I mean, I’m sure they will not let players (their assets as well as human beings) do this type of thing in future. They will either have it written in their contact that the club arranges transport or that the player has to give notice of their travel arrangements prior to travelling which would have to be ok’d by the club.
I realise there are limits to tge restrictions you can put upon an adult but Feck me , football clubs tell their players what to eat and how nuch they can drink and when. The club can and will wash their hands of this but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have done things better. They could have done a lot more from where I’m sitting. It’s inept from his agents point of but also from the clubs in my opinion. I realise we are talking different levels but can you see Man City, Chelsea or Man U letting their record striker get on a feckin decades old microlite to travel accross the english channel at night in winter. It’s farcical.
Whats all this flares coming from Burhou island stuff on twitter about?
Is that new?
Don't know how true and if I'm just clinging onto hope but according to some Twitter reports, flares have been spotted from Burhou Island. Surely this would have been checked. I also understand that there are sick ****s out there that would make up fake reports.
Take a look at these search results: https://twitter.com/search?q=flares%20sala&s=09
If flares went up yesterday as the rumors on Twitter are suggesting, surely they would have been investigated by now.
Also if they got there with flares, presumably they would have been in a raft, how come they didn't set them off sooner?
I'd bet this is some sick oddball making crap up.

RNLI crew investigated reports of flares going up behind Burhou during Monday night’s gruelling five-hour search for the missing plane.
This flicker of hope is almost unbearable especially as we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if there is any truth in it.
My friend mentioned it Tuesday morning as the news broke about flares being sighted but having not seen much in the way of reports I thought it was just made up.
This coming to light again is reigniting the hope and it’s bloody unbearable.
I can't answer the question you pose as I do not know enough about the arrangements that exist between players, agents and the club. However, when a former Premier League Chairman explains in a radio interview that it is usual for agents to arrange transport I have no reason to disbelieve him and I do not think it is the club's responsibility to second guess everything an agent does. I agree this whole episode reveals many flaws in the arrangements made but I can't see how anyone can blame the club for a consenting player to be transported in a plane owned and organised by an agent who must be used to arranging transport for players on a routine basis. In this particular case where the pilot's experience is being called into question I do not think it would be practicable for any club to check whether a pilot had the relevant experience and qualifications to fly one of their players for example.
Here are the original Burhou pics

I hope that on Saturday, our fans respect this sad and needless loss. I cannot look at the photo of him smiling without getting a lump in my throat.
Makes us stop and think about how much unites us at times like this. The best tribute to him would be for The Bluebirds to stay in the EPL. Good Luck.

7.50am update.
We are commencing a coastal search using be Channel Islands Air Search plane of Burhou, the Casquets, Alderney, the north coast of the Cherbourg Peninsula, north coast of Jersey and then back over Sark.
Further information released when available
Bl00dy hell!! So the chatter on Twitter last night about flares coming from the area around Burhou seems valid?
How have Guernsey police only just got wind of this.
I don't know, all speculation I guess and a lot of theories and information being put to the test.
All said and done but if the rescue services are still out searching then there is always hope and we have to have faith.
