[Oceangate Expeditions]( CEO [Stockton Rush](, Pakistani businessman [Shahzada Dawood]( and his son Suleman, British billionaire Hamish Harding, and French adventurer [Paul-Henri Nargeolet]( were on board the Titan when it lost communications with a support ship less than two hours into a 4,000m dive to the Titanic shipwreck on Sunday. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) located pieces of debris from the [Titan]( on the seabed about 500m from the bow of the Titanic wreck on Thursday morning Rear Admiral John Mauger, the First Coast Guard District commander, told a press briefing.

As many as six players could go, and two of them - Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva - have had offers from Saudi Arabia. Even City, who have become the most assertive force in the game through their Abu Dhabi ownership, have had all their plans affected by this summer window’s most disruptive force.
