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

I care what league we're in, it matters to me. It better be the top flight, 'cuz if its not...

Frankly when everything stopped we were the worst team in the division and the chances of staying up getting slimmer anyway

Nope.

You seem to want it both ways here.  Have your views by all means but every single time I suggest there's mileage in playing out the season if safe to do so, I get shot down.  This despite the fact that most football fans want to see the season played out.

People don't like being called blinkered and others "thinking for them" yet that is exactly what they are doing to the PL board and its members.  How can anyone possibly know what is being discussed at board level or what their motives are?  Talk about double standards.

Anyone who thinks the PL & its members are only considering money is being very naive and anyone who thinks that voiding the season is the only solution is blinkered.  You can't escape that.

There are numerous options, some of which haven't even been discussed yet.  Until we know what options are definitely available, it's pointless trying to second guess what the league are doing or what is the best option.

Most football fans on the recent online Bbc poll didn’t want the season finished. What’s the evidence most want it finished?

It received the majority of votes.

Any fans forum you care to look at.  I'd guess Norwich, Bournemouth, Brighton, Watford & WHU would probably be on our side but overwhelmingly, fans want to see the season played out if safe to do so.  As would we if we were mid table.

I thought I saw 56 % didn’t want the leagues to continue, am I dreaming this?

I can’t imagine supporters of mid table teams would really see it as that important in these times

56% of what?

How many from here voted?  How many from VT?

Who exactly voted?

If it was deemed safe to do so, the times have nothing to do with it.

How about Newcastle with their new owners?  They not bothered?
How about Burnley who have stated they'll go into liquidation by August if funds aren't forthcoming? They not bothered?

and I don’t accept fans forums are indicative of fan bases.

Know someone who works at a football league club and he said the word going around at the moment is that the new season could be starting as late as January.

They're not. Online is seldom a representation of owt.

I’m guessing Newcastle’s new owners (if it happens) will impact on future seasons. Burnley like many clubs need funds now. I think all of football needs to be collectively thinking of how they can survive into 2021 with the threat of zero attendances. No idea how this is going to be achieved but scrambling around trying to cram 1/4 of a season into a month behind closed doors doesn’t seem to be that relevant to me.

So next to nobody, yet we're to take the poll as if it were God's own word?

No idea how many vote. How else do we know what the feelings are generally?
