Back in March this year when the season was stopped there was a lot of discussion and disagreement about PPG and other solutions. I questionned then on CL why rules were not in place in case of war, pandemics and natural disasters. At that time it was being wise after the event.
Now however shouldn't we be making preparations for this? Are we arrogant in assuming it can't happen? What if several clubs go out of business? What then happens? There are lots of possibilities and plans should be made. It will be too late if it does happen and everyone puts forward arguments to suit their position.

It discusses the possibility of the season ending early but doesn't ask for solutions in advance.
What for example if we've played 30 games and have 60 points and Peterborough have played 20 games with 41 points. Or vice-versa? Would PPG be reasonable?
Parameters need to be set before we get anywhere near the scenario being in evidence.
Work that one out EFL.
But it's more complicated than that. There is the example I put above when there is great disparity of games played but also that one team has played over half the games and the other hasn't. This consideration is already miles ahead of the EFL who haven't even confirmed that the 23 game mark is a rule i.e 23 or more played = PPG, fewer than 23 played = results expunged.
Also I reckon Sandgaard would fight it in the courts. He is that type of man.
No-one will be able to protest or go to court if the EFL and the clubs decide and vote now.
Everything is so shortsighted regarding Covid19 and it drives me nuts.
