AFC Wimbledon chief executive Joe Palmer believes the League One season will be curtailed - and admits his relegation-threatened side see no upside to playing on.
Under controversial proposals put forward by the EFL, if League One clubs vote to end the season early, the league table will be determined on unweighted points-per-game, which would see fourth-bottom AFC Wimbledon escape the drop even though Tranmere - who would be relegated - are just three points behind them with a game in hand.
At the top of the table, Coventry and Rotherham would be promoted, with Wycombe leaping from eighth to third, contesting the play-offs alongside Oxford, Portsmouth, and Fleetwood, with current sixth-placed side Peterborough missing out.
Sunderland would slip one place to finish eighth.
Clubs have yet to decide whether to play on and complete the season, or end the campaign early, but Palmer feels opinion is moving towards the second option.
Sunderland are one of a group of clubs that want to complete their fixtures, but there is also a group who - either because settling the table based on points-per-game suits them, or because they fear the financial effects of playing games behind-closed-doors, or because they are in midtable positions with nothing to fight for - want to call time on the season.
"The view I'm getting from clubs is that we want to see the end of the season," Palmer told BBC Sport.
"We as a club don't want to do anything that is going to put us in a worse-off situation and if playing out the rest of the season does that we would be against it.
"Given what we've learned in recent days in terms of the financial implications of playing on and where clubs are at the moment, we're quite happy with that scenario, that if it were to finish then we'd be quite happy with that.
"I think probably it's moving towards cancellation, simply because of the factors around the finances for clubs and also the health concerns.
"The guidelines for returning to training and returning to play are quite extensive. It's a lot for even Premier League clubs, so for us I think it would be quite difficult as well."
