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

[TaxDodger]

I think it would totally undermine Man City's title challenge if they were to award the title to Liverpool. There's still 10 games to go - it's clearly still all to play for. Could have gone either way if the season was allowed to continue.

Anyway, Liverpool get to remain Champions of Europe for a bit longer, so they clearly would benefit enormously from everything being scrapped.

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

It would.  They'd end the season potless.

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

Speak for yourself. I like Liverpool. Manyoo can feck off though.

All training suspended.

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

Where have you seen that?

Sky News.  Training/Promotional visits etc.

I was having a look on RAWK to see what the Liverpool diehards make of it.  One clown says 'Do the decent thing and give us the trophy.  Then abandon the season'  To which another guy replied, 'The likes of Villa and Bournemouth might have something to say about that', to which the first guy replied - and I quote - "shit one on them. Have a play off behind closed doors or something. There's no way they can completely void the league. That would be ridiculously unfair on us."

So there could be all sorts of ideas on how to complete the season.
One being all teams receiving a point for all remain matches.
I think Purslow was making sure nothing was going to affect Villa status and that the best decision   possible for Villa chance to stay in premier league and that there was no unfair relegation.

Liverpool's form in the last two weeks has been as bad as Villa's (almost).

You must be aged less than about 35 then?

I think as long as everyone has played the same number of games it'll do, that means we'd need to play the game against Sheff Utd. If we win we stay up and anything else we go down. I'd take the opportunity since i think it's more likely we'd beat Sheff Utd at home in a one off game than us get enough points from the rest of the season to stay up.

Final warning.

At least common sense seems to be prevailing now with the cancellation of games, the League’s message yesterday saying that all games were still on was idiotic beyond belief. This isn’t going to go away overnight.

It would, wouldn't it. But deliciously so. It might knock Slippy G off the top of my list of favourite 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' moments.

Leeds can add it to all the other trophies they sing about winning even though they didn't win them. Twats.

[ChicagoLion]

There is no way that they would be able to relegate any one with 10 games to go.
Unless there are specific provisions within the contracts, and I very much doubt there are.
They either complete the season on null and void it.
The idea that they can start coming up with alternative methods to determine league standings is not feasible.

[Footy-Vill]

So if football matches and training have been postponed the players have to still be vigilant in not getting the covid 19 virus and also keep their fitness going.
Some players will be more professional and serious than others.
We don't want to see players out and about night clubs, cafes and restaurants or flying out to USA or Dubai coz they can.

[PeterWithesShin]

Liverpool not winning the league would be one of the all time footballing injustices. Please please please let it happen.
