Rotherham manager can't see how Portsmouth, Sunderland, Peterborough and Ipswich will get their way

All 71 members will meet on June 8 to vote on the EFL’s proposed framework to complete the 2019-20 campaign.

While it wants all remaining fixtures to be fulfilled, the season will be brought to a premature end if 51 per cent of clubs in their respective divisions choose to do so.

League positions will then be decided by an unweighted points-per-game formula, with promotion, relegation and the play-offs still going ahead.

Rotherham will benefit if that is the case as they’ll finish second and be automatically promoted to the Championship along with Coventry.

Pompey, Oxford, Wycombe and Fleetwood will then enter a traditional four-team play-off for the remaining spot in the second tier.

Warne pinpointed the financial concerns clubs have means he feels the campaign will be brought to an end.

He told the Yorkshire Post: ‘I do have a feel which way it will go. I think now that the EFL have put their recommendations in place, it feels like there’s a wave towards curtailing the season.

‘Clubs understandably have serious financial concerns. The Huddersfield Town owner thinks 50 to 60 clubs could hit the wall. In Australia, there’s a report that players might have to take an 80 per cent wage cut.

‘Then there are all the health implications of playing on. It would take a lot of money for clubs to get all the required testing and precautions in place.

‘I think that, to help get them through the next few months, clubs will try to retain as much money as they can.

‘If you’re a club in a position with nothing to gain from coming back – apart from the word, “integrity”, which gets bandied about all over the place – why would you want to come back?

‘If you haven’t got any money as a club and you’re in your overdraft why would you take on another debt? I just can’t see it.’
