    Aye, full squad and management team wiped out. Can't really recover from that. Think the Man Utd Munich one only a few people died and back then nobody really spent money on players so you could rebuild. Now with squads of 25 players and a lot of players costing a lot of money you can't see how they can recover.

    Its hard to see how they can have a season off. It will most likely be a mix of youth players and loan players for next season. Still clubs, from outside Brazil at least, should be very generous with loan players.

    Last time this happened in South America Alianza Lima's squad was wiped out and as a result they got a mix of youth players and a lot of loan players from Colo Colo. Sadly they suffered hugely and woundn't win another league title for 18 seasons.

    They should be given some kind of special allowances though, maybe opposition teams playing them need to use under 21 squads or something rather than their real team for the first 2 or 3 seasons.

    We already have. Numerous times. The whole national team of Zambia, for instance.

    Would never happen due to commercial sensitivity, they're sponsored by Umbro.

    After Superga Torino played their final games of the league season with youth players, and their opposition did the same as a mark of respect. They went on to win the title.

    Brazilian clubs announce that they will loan players without fees to Chapecoense for 2017 & ask they be exempt from relegation for 3 years

    CONMEBOL are going to put them into the 2017 Libertadores and Recopa (like the Super Cup) as Sudamericana winners.

    Mário Sérgio, earned 8 caps for Brazil, won the Brazilian league with Internacional and the Intercontinetal Cup with Grêmio. Was going to cover the game for FOX TV and died in the crash. RIP

    Tragic looking at the photo of the dressing room and the shoes, sandles and other belongings of the deceased players scattered about there but they'll never be back in there for them again.

    Brazilian club Palmeiras have asked the CBF for permission to wear Chapecoense shirts in their final game of the season.
