Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber has called for Championship sides to be not promoted to the Premier League if the football season is not completed in both divisions.
“In my opinion, it needs to be settled on the pitch, not off the pitch,” he told Sky Sports on The Football Show.
“What we could not accept is a situation where we play all our games and get relegated, but the Championship can’t play, and they automatically promote some teams who haven't finished the season,” Webber said.
“For anyone who has got promoted from the Championship, it is a 46 or 49-game slog. It needs to be settled on the pitch, both coming up and going down.”
Norwich are bottom of the Premier League table at the moment, six points from safety with nine games to play. In the Championship, which is England’s second tier, Leeds and West Brom are in the automatic promotion places.
