Promotion to the Premier League should be scrapped if Championship clubs fail to complete their season, according to Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber.
England's top flight is the process of discussing options for 'Project Restart', but there is far less clarity over the possibility of a return for the Sky Bet Championship, League 1 and League 2 this season.
Norwich are bottom of the Premier League table and joined in the relegation zone by Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
Leeds United currently top the Championship with West Brom a point behind them in second, with Fulham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston in the play-off places.
Premier League bottom three as it stands
- 18th: Bournemouth - 27 points
- 19th: Aston Villa - 25 points
- 20th: Norwich City - 21 points
A scenario that has been mooted is for clubs to be given a finishing position based on average points per game, with promotion and relegation places allocated accordingly - something Webber is not a fan of.
"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," he told the Sky Sports Football Show.
"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."
Championship top six as it stands
- 1st: Leeds United - 71 points
- 2nd: West Brom - 70 points
- 3rd: Fulham - 64 points
- 4th: Brentford - 60 points
- 5th: Nottingham Forest - 60 points
- 6th: Preston North End - 56 points
Meanwhile former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville has criticised administrators at the majority of Premier League clubs for failing to provide fans with information during the pandemic.
Few club owners or executives have shared their thoughts, or given an update on the league's possible resumption, aside from Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish and Brighton chief executive Paul Barber.
"The Premier League have been invisible in these last few weeks, the medical experts in football have been invisible in these last few weeks - there was another way of doing this," said Neville.
"I think at this moment in time we do need to be communicated to properly as a country as to why it's safe to return to football - not just the players because the fans want to hear it as well."
