He says that there doesn't appear to be an appetite for any of the Premier Division clubs to be relegated. Nothing to see here and I don't see why he's getting sacked just because he's saying what people are thinking.

Nothing to see here and I don't see why he's getting sacked just because he's saying what people are thinking.It is the reply from AVFC that is significant, saying that this is his personal opinion and nothing to do with the club. Normally a club will support one of its senior employees.
Aston Villa have distanced themselves from comments made by Jesus Garcia Pitarch in a damning statement issued about the sporting director.Pitarch - also known as Suso - conducted a rare interview with Spanish media this week about the potential impact the coronavirus could have on the Premier League.In the interview, with newspaper Cope, he claimed there is a consensus among top-flight clubs that no sides will be relegated this season.He said: “If the peak of the coronavirus is to occur in May, no one thinks of a competition in which players, coaches, health personnel of the club will continue to appear every day, there are clubs that do not see an option that the competition possibly resumes on June 30."The most reasonable solution if the League has to be stopped is that there are no relegations. There is a certain unanimity that there should be no relegations."He also said that Liverpool must be crowned as champions if it is not possible to fulfil the remaining nine fixtures becuase of the Covid-19 outbreak.The 20 top-flight clubs are due to meet later this week to hold talks over what should happen next with matches already having been postponed until early April.And amid what is an unprecedented situation, Villa have released a short statement in response to Pitarch’s comments.It said: “The views attributed to Mr Garcia Pitarch in the Spanish media are not those of Aston Villa. Now is not the time to be speculating about future arrangements for Premier League football this season."Pitarch's position at Villa is thought to be at risk with Dean Smith's side in 19th place after a summer of heavy investment in the transfer market.
