Wrote this comment on The Guardian a few days ago:
Villa fan myself. We are where we are because we haven't been good enough in our first 28 games. We might stay up, we might not, if the season gets completed. If it doesn't, I don't believe you can have promotion and relegation based on incomplete seasons.
Using Villa as an example, it took us 49 games to earn promotion last season, which meant that we had a reasonable expectation of being 'rewarded' with a 38 game season. Teams don't get relegated after 28 or 29 games (most prove a point-y example: Leicester in 14/15). Likewise, teams don't win promotion after 37 games (most prove a point-y example: Leeds last season).
If the season can't be finished, we'd be relegating teams that haven't mathematically been relegated and replacing them with promoted teams that haven't mathematically earned promotion.
If the season can't be completed, it's null and void. If the lower leagues can't be completed, you can't have promotion or relegation, you just have to start again.
Of course, if Leeds and West Brom are so convinced that they're Premier League quality, maybe an extra round of games against the top half might be in order next season to make up the difference if PPG is insisted on!

As predictable as night follows day, I got the 'desperate clubs trying to find any excuse' replies - so I responded with 'Not as desperate as those who are begging to be rewarded something they haven't earned it seems!'
People just don't seem to get it.
