Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has been vocal in his opposition to the League One plan that would hand Coventry City promotion - but says it is nothing personal against the Sky Blues.
The Sky Blues and their rivals are set to vote on how to end the League One season in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
The options are either to complete the remaining fixtures, or curtail the campaign and decide the final standings on an unweighted points-per-game (PPG) basis.
Coventry are five points clear at the top of the table with 10 games left to play - and would be promoted as champions under the PPG system.

Peterborough, though, would drop out of the play-off zone and be replaced in the top six by Wycombe Wanderers.
So, not surprisingly, MacAnthony is against that option - but admits Coventry deserve to go up.
In the latest edition of his Hard Truths podcast - entitled 'The Fat Lady is clearing her throat' - he said: “I’ve had a lot thrown at me in recent weeks but the most hurtful accusation is that I’m trying to hurt clubs, to put them out of business.
“Nothing could be further from the truth. I’m the one who has been fighting on behalf of all the clubs. I’m the one who has been putting ideas out there on how to get financial help from the PFA, from the Premier League and from the EFL to help all clubs get through this crisis.
“I now want to put systems in place to make sure we can get through crises in the future. I’m a football person who wants the clubs to play football again. The ones who would rather hibernate than play are the problems.
“Of course I will fight for my club. It’s my job. And I believe passionately that we should still carry on and complete the season rather than accept a points-per-game solution that is simply unfair."
He added: “To me you can’t vote for PPG if you’re also voting to finish the season? That makes no sense.
“This is not a battle against Wycombe or Rotherham or Coventry. If any club deserves success after what they’ve been through in recent years it’s Coventry, but it is a battle against unfair procedures and against setting dangerous precedents for the future."
