Given they were driving a Lamborghini, and that it was in the middle of the night, I’m not too surprised to be honest.

I understand that there’s been an informal decision to keep posts about the accident itself in a separate thread, so I’ve edited this post out of respect to the board. YNWA, Diogo and Andre.

Might be worth setting up a news section for this stuff to keep it separate.

I think we’re all better than speculating on the details of an accident that resulted in the death of two people.

If anyone wants to discuss the cause of the accident, I did set up a “cars and stuff” thread ages ago. It’s probably better suited to this kind of discussion:

I asked this yesterday.
I’m not a Moderator and have no such ambitions. But I echo the sentiment expressed by @rab just above.
I am requesting that all such posts speculating on the cause should be moved to the @RedWhippet thread.
Discussing this in here is at the very least disrespectful. I understand the need for analysis and explanation, but surely not here? And to be honest, I’m not being judgemental. I’m genuinely upset reading about potential cause.

Fifa regulation states that when a player passes away with an active contract, that contract immediately expires, leaving the club no longer liable or allowed to make any further payments apart from those owed which would then be paid to the passed players rightful heir.
In Diogo Jota’s case, Liverpool FC have claimed that they are the ones who terminated the contract before it naturally expired, leaving them liable and able to pay the remainder of his salary to his heirs. They have also committed to paying for the education of Jota’s children for life.
An extremely classy move from the club

That’s a really crap rule by FIFA I feel.
Suppose it might protect the smaller clubs but I do feel it should be up to the club and in this situation the club is doing the right thing.

Also means that whatever that would be spent as payout to Jota would come under the FFP rules. Doubtless the club was willing to go the extra mile rather than adhere to FIFA’s regulations. Wouldn’t expect any less from them.

I expected it, but I’m still proud of the club for going above and beyond and paying out the contract, and covering the education of Jota’s children. Classy move.
Thanks for making another thread available if anyone wants to track details around the crash, or the investigation or whatever. It is legitimate to be curious about that, but this thread is more of a celebration of the player, so the separation seems fitting. Thank you.

I’ve removed posts talking about the accident, including speculation on the cause. Let’s keep this as a thread about paying tribute to the player.
I find the aforementioned discussion in poor taste personally, but if people really feel a burning desire to talk about it, please either make or find a more suitable thread for it.
