How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[cdbearsfan]

Will they fuck.

[PeterWithesShin]

There's more chance of me playing for Villa than there is of football in May.

Sky Sports News headline popped up on my fruit based device indicating European leagues would restart in mid-may.

I think there's more chance of Kirk Douglas restarting in mid-May.

I love Villa as much as the next man but I’m past caring now what happens to this season.

The latest thinking is that the health serivce will be managed by allowing phases of scoial distancing and phases of relaxed rules regarding social distancing; all over a 12 month period.
This implies that they are expecting waves of viral infection, so sport generally may well not be happening for a long while yet - quite how clubs will manage contracts and loans if that is the case remains to be seen.

If this goes as it could none of us will give a shit what division Villa are in.

[dave.woodhall]

If they start playing while people are dying the Premier League can fuck off forever for me.

If they start playing while people are dying the Premier League can fuck off forever for me.

Absolutely.

As an aside - betting companies are trying to get e-sports on TV to get an industry going around that. Awful behaviour.

Completely Agree.

That would be me. I have spent a good portion of my life following Villa everywhere they have gone and spent most my life thinking about the club if that's the game just gone the one coming up injuries etc etc. I know we are in the throws of this thing so it is very difficult to get perspective but when we are looking at a region's in Spain and Italy with near 10% mortality rate and having to make choices to write anyone off ill over 70 even the talk of starting no matter how fanciful is very distasteful.  I cannot watch the inane chatter of thick ex-pro's talking about integrity anymore so don't.

It looks by all the modelling that we are going to get hit very very hard and most of us have elderly parents or are elderly ourselves. Villa all of a sudden don't feel important and I am not sure they will ever feel so again.

Exactly. It absolutely must not happen.

100%

I don’t give a shit about football at the moment, this season and next season is totally irrelevant at the moment.

[phantom limb]

Yeah football one of the furthest things from my mind at the moment, and this talk of seeing this season out at any cost seems ridiculous to me when you see what’s going on in the world. It’s like a horror movie.

while they may want to I think it will not be their decision to make

Yup and as money talks very loudly I’ve already started sowing the seeds of non league with my companions

If there is a non league left of course
