A suggestion found on Twitter.
Can't we just use the Duckworth-Lewis method from cricket? Promote Leeds and WBA, give Liverpool the title and then just do playoffs for promotion and relegation. Then close the season, get this under control so the world doesn't become another Italy - simple.

Brightwhite the the same as I posted week or so, end the season now and promotion is as they all stand and relegation for those in those places, no point to play offs.

Or bring back the pools panel for remaining fixtures.

there is no way that our rival clubs will go for that. complaints and appeals would follow stating it is unfair. Depending on how the fixtures have worked out it could be argued that certain teams have had easier or harder fixtures up to this point with vital points still to be snapped up in the remaining fixtures.

Those suggestions above all make sense, a good solution play the remaining games behind closed doors
or if there really is no choice to end the season with positions as they stand. over 80% of the season is already complete. voiding the season with it so near to completion makes zero sense and would be unjust.

Penalty shootouts to decide remaining games. The higher up the table, the more pens you get.

Alf - under your reasoning, our rivals should accept that we should be promoted. Generally perceived that, of the clubs in the promotion shake-up, we have the easiest run-in - therefore overall we must have already played the hardest set of fixtures.

Duckworth Lewis. Excellent idea. And a form of it actually makes sense?
