lets just do a final table on average points per game, and leave it at that.

Why? The season can’t be finished. Null and void is the only fair conclusion.

If football can start again then the current season can be finished (even if it finishes later than August 2020). Yes it may mean that the next season is different (or doesn't even happen at all) but it's a specific choice to abandon the current season and start a new one, not a foregone conclusion.

This.
The current season can't be finished in the same format, so there is no point in trying to finish it in some other contrived format just to finagle out of the tv contract. That would forego all the governing bodies' precious 'integrity'.

Games won't be home/away.
Different players will be available/unavailable.
Higher density of games favours teams with bigger squads.
That's before any of the changes to actual regulations being discussed. And before the liklihood of someone in one club testing positive and that club having to isolate.

The only sensible option is to bin this season and work on plans for a new season where contingencies / rule changes can be built in from the start.
