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

[Big Ming]

All training suspended.

This seasons finished. They just haven't said it yet.

[Jon Crofts]

Blimey. Didn't see that one coming.

[Border villan]

Can we put Chris Grayling in control of the delay as he managed to do it with the trains.

[Big Ming]

I suppose not a good time to revive the Shankley quote about football being more important than life and death.

[PaulWinch again]

Where have you seen that?

The only way ahead is for the season to be null and voided, with the hope we can start the next one as planned in August (doubtful)

You can't start arsing about promoting or relegating clubs who haven't yet earned it or try and finish this season from the point we halted it at some unknown point in the future. The football leagues are a competition that haven't run their natural course so no prizes or demotions can be handed out otherwise the integrity of the competition will be all over the place.

We're in a special time, rules will have to change to accommodate the fact we're all in an unknown position at this time.

If the FA Cup got postponed at the quarter final stage they can't just hand it to whoever scored the most goals up to that point in it or hand each of the 8 teams left a meaningless symbolic cup just because they'd done well in it up to that point. It would (and will) just be cancelled for this year.

Things have to be either finished or scrubbed as far as i can see.

I dont think they can extend the season too much as p[layers contracts tend to run out at the end of June dont they?

Will that mean Man City didn't win the League Cup and I can get my ticket money back?

How long before 'Insta' pics of players in Dubai/Las Vegas/Caribbean etc start popping up !!! (not necessarily Villa Players)

[RichardBatchelor]

A cancellation of the Euros will be important.Without a cancellation,I can see it being a struggle to complete the fixtures with at least Chelsea,Arsenal.,Everton and probably Leicester and Watford being virus hit.
A cancellation would give leagues a chance to  extend a postponement past April which looks a bit optimistic .
I would give Liverpool the title,promote the top 4 from the Championship,no relegation from the Prem .Next season sees a 46 game PL which restarts in July with the PL clubs having to pay £6--7m to help out the lower leagues.
Everyone happy.

I don't fucking think so, matey!!!!!11!!!

Liverpool deserve it totally, it’s ridiculous to say otherwise.

[frank black]

Start next season with everyone on the same points as now in all divisions

[PeterWithesShin]

Liverpool absolutely deserve it, which will make it one of the funniest things ever if they don't end up winning it.

Fuck em. If they’re that good then they can win it next year

It would.  They'd end the season potless.

Could also work out that Leeds AND Albion don't get promoted.
