The coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to the regular season with still, in Villa’s case, ten league matches left to play and a relegation battle to win; it’s naturally caused a number of complications, and posed many challenges that lie in front of the footballing authorities.
How will the league campaign be concluded? Will it be deemed safe enough to do so at any point in the coming weeks and months? How long might behind closed doors football have to be adopted?
Sky Sports presenter White reckons that the top flight only have intentions of completing the remaining fixtures and have outlined a rather hopeful plan once the lockdown subsides.
“The best case scenario being discussed at the moment is that the Premier League resumes at the beginning of June - behind closed doors,” White told talkSPORT.

birminghammail--2020-04-18--Ref makes Villa confession - and other astonishing revelations

Premier League referee Andre Marriner has confirmed that he IS an Aston Villa supporter - and attended a match as recently as the recent Carabao Cup final at Wembley .
Marriner , from Birmingham , explained to Peter Crouch ’ s podcast that his two children have season tickets at Villa Park and he joins them whenever he ’ s not officiating in the top flight .
He admits though that , when attending Wembley for the meeting with Manchester City last month , he expected the Lions to be thrashed by Pep Guardiola ’ s side .
“ Yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I go as much as I can .
My two kids are season ticket holders , and whenever I get the opportunity to go down , I will .
“ I went to the League Cup final , only a few weeks back .
We gave a good account of ourselves - I thought we were going to get absolutely hammered , if I ’ m honest .
Asked if he ever gave some stick to Crouch himself , during his less than memorable playing days in claret and blue , Marriner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He wasn ’ t prolific !
” Crouch , acknowledging that it didn ’ t work out for him in the Second City , admitted : “ That ’ s a big regret for me , the Villa days .
It ’ s a massive club.
” How did Marriner get into refereeing ?
The 2013 FA Cup final official concedes that actually having a playing career himself was his dream growing up , as a goalkeeper .
An opportunity arose to oversee a game in his local Sunday League one morning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ role of being the man in the middle .
“ By chance .
I turned up to this game on a Sunday morning , in view of playing in goal .
The referee didn ’ t turn up , so I reluctantly agreed to referee the game , ” he explained .
“ I thoroughly enjoyed the experience .
I went home and told my dad about it , and he enrolled me on a referees ’ course the following week .
“ I always wanted to play the game at professional level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ schoolboy forms , but I got released from there .
I had various trials with other teams , but I never made the grade.
” His son is now a keeper , and that allows Marriner to become that stereotypical impassioned father on the touch-line !
He has found , though , that all eyes are on him whenever the scheduled referee decides not to turn up !
He said : “ My boy plays in goal , so he ’ s taken after his dad in that position .
He ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s finished now , they had a cup final to look forward to so they ’ re not going to play that .

While landlords may be served with three months' notice, it does not necessarily mean the stores will close as new arrangements could be made to keep them open.

The fashion group has 550 stores across the UK, but all are shut at the moment due to coronavirus restrictions.
Arcadia's brands include Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridge, Outfit, Topman, Topshop, and Wallis.
The retail group had been hit by financial troubles before the Covid-19 crisis.
Its high street brands reported pre-tax losses of £505.1 million for the year to September 2018, according to accounts published on Companies House.
A series of Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) were proposed in May last year as part of a wider three-year recovery plan, which led to the closures of 23 stores and rent slashes on many others.
Twelve more stores closed this year.
The rescue deal also saw the group's US operations go into administration and the closures of an additional 25 Evans and Miss Selfridge stores.
After landlords voted through the plans in June, business tycoon Sir Philip and his wife were forced to offer some concessions funded from their own pockets to get approval for the measures.
In December, Sir Philip struck a £310 million deal with US private equity giant Apollo to remortgage the flagship Topshop store on London's Oxford Street, ahead of the deadline set at the end of the year.
The economic havoc wrought by the pandemic has seen many retailers close stores and furlough staff.
On Friday, department store retailer Debenhams confirmed the closure of seven shops with the loss of 422 jobs after sliding into administration last week.
Meanwhile, struggling fashion chains Oasis and Warehouse collapsed into administration, with around 2,000 workers across 92 stores and 437 concessions affected.

As of Saturday morning, almost 15,000 people have died of coronavirus in the UK, with strict lockdown measures in place for at least, another three weeks.
And Blues star Bela has urged everyone to follow guidance, to ensure we can return to normal as soon as possible.
"Absolutely we all want to get back to normal," Bela told the club's official website.
"At the moment we cannot see what the future holds. The future is not clear.
"Everyone is waiting and hoping for this to end.
"This virus is horrible. A lot of people have died and it can affect anyone. It doesn't matter if you are young or old.
"I pray that this finishes as soon as possible. Until then we all have to stay at home and follow the rules."
On a potential resumption of the Championship campaign, Bela has admitted he is keen to play again, but only when it is completely safe to do so.
"If everything is OK, then yes (finish the season),” he added. "Not a problem.
"But even if there is still the slightest risk, and things are not clear, it is better to stop the season.
"The most important thing for everyone is to be safe. It is about people's health.
"More than football, more than money, more than fame - the most important thing for anyone is their health and their family's health."

A programme to free prisoners early to help jails cope with coronavirus has been temporarily halted after six inmates were released by mistake.
The low-risk offenders were candidates for early release but were let out too soon after an "administrative error", the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said.
After the flaw was spotted, they all "returned compliantly to prison", a spokeswoman added.
The Government early release scheme, designed to avoid thousands of often cell-sharing inmates becoming infected, was paused on Thursday and is due to resume next week.
Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in half of the prisons in England and Wales.
Inmates were let out of two open Category D prisons in Gloucestershire and Derbyshire, Leyhill and Sudbury, along with one inmate from the Isis Category C prison and young offenders institute in south-east London.

He said in a statement: "These errors must not be used as an excuse for inaction in the face of an oncoming public health disaster.
"Prisons are overcrowded, with thousands of cells containing more than one inmate, against the advice of Public Health England.

Tottenham have been backed to strike Manchester United a major transfer blow by signing Jack Grealish this summer.
The Aston Villa captain has been extensively linked with a move to Old Trafford, with claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has him at the top of his transfer wishlist.
Grealish has been one of the standout midfielders in the top-flight, with nine goals and eight assists in all competitions.
It's form that has earned admirers not only across the Premier League, but across the whole of Europe, with suggestions that Real Madrid and Barcelona could be interested.
In recent days reports that Villa's Premier League rivals, Everton could be keen on the 24-year-old, although Carlo Ancelotti is keen to reinforce other positions before launching a shock bid.
Tottenham have also been linked with a potential move and former Spurs and Villa striker Darren Bent feels that they have the edge over United in the race.
Spurs almost signed Grealish in the summer of 2018, with a deal reported to have been close. Any potential swoop could cost considerably more now, but Bent feels the £50m valuation quoted would suit Jose Mourinho's transfer plans.
“It’s definitely in the price tag that Villa are going to want for him but you look at Spurs – a young, English, brilliant signing,” Bent told Football Insider.
“When you look at teams that are also in for Jack, there’s a lot of talk about Manchester United and I think where Spurs might have the edge is they’re going to have the funds to do it.
“They’re not really linked with anybody else and I think they can get that done, relatively, quite comfortably. I’m hearing Manchester United linked with Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane, Grealish. For them to get all those players they’re going to have to spend upwards of £300million.
“I can see Spurs being the frontrunners and just getting him.”
