Peterhead manager Jim McInally believes the proposal suggested to end the lower league seasons is the sensible option.
The SPFL board has submitted an idea, which will be voted on by member clubs in the coming days, to call a halt to the Championship, League One and League Two campaigns.
Final placings would be decided by the points per game each club has accumulated and would mean the Blue Toon, who are eighth in League One, would remain in the division.
The coronavirus pandemic means it’s unlikely football will be played for the foreseeable future. The Premiership remains postponed, opening up the possibility that the top flight’s fixture list could be completed at some point, potentially behind closed doors.
However, that option does not appear to be financially viable for lower league clubs and as result Balmoor boss McInally believes passing the proposal would make sense.
Scotland’s longest-serving manager has sympathy for clubs such as Partick and Stranraer who are facing relegation and the sides that stand to miss out on competing in play-offs.
But declaring the campaign over would allow lower league clubs to plan ahead and distributing prize money with the campaign finished would provide vital income.
McInally said: “What has been put forward is only common sense really.
“It’s important to let the rest of us get on with things.
“When it comes to these decisions sometimes you come out on the right side of it and sometimes on the wrong side of it.
“If it goes through I suppose at Peterhead we can look at it that maybe we’ve dodged a bullet to a certain extent. But ultimately we are where we are in the current table.
“I have total sympathy for anybody that is a victim of this potential decision.
“But I think in this period there was never going to be a way to please everybody because it doesn’t look possible to play these games.”
The SPFL board has also indicated they are open to consulting with clubs over league reconstruction for next term which could save those clubs facing relegation.
