Surely you can see that by taking the current standings or doing a points per game means you are favouring certain teams over other whereas voiding treats all teams equally. That doesn’t mean equal outcome but it does mean equal treatment.
I think it is fundamentally wrong to reward teams on an incomplete body of work. Leicester started the season well and we did not, however it now appears that the tables have turned and their form has dipped while ours is fantastic. So unless the PPG can take into account form and fixtures it’s fundamentally flawed an an absolute mess and if I was a lawyer I would be readying my ammunition as we speak. Voiding is easily the most logical choice.
As of right now voiding most definitely isn't the easiest choice.
We now know that voiding the league would mean no places in European competitions for anyone, which entirely rules it out as an option from the start.
Beyond that, the majority of clubs themselves are against voiding the league, so a decision to do so would be against their wishes.
Voiding also opens up its own world of problems in terms of money from broadcasters. If the league season is voided, why wouldn't broadcasters look to get back the money they paid for the league season that no longer exists? It's already been widely reported that this is the key concern for clubs, so how do you resolve it while voiding the season? Clubs are already facing a very uncertain financial future, so why would they opt for the solution which comes with
by far the greatest financial risk?
A decision to void the PL would also need the support of the EFL, who are absolutely committed to finishing the league season for fear of the existential threat not doing so would pose for clubs in lower leagues. So how do you convince them to suddenly agree? Do you think the PL clubs are going to pay to keep those smaller clubs in business?
You say that if you were a lawyer you'd be readying your ammunition. What do you think the lawyers of the clubs chasing promotion will be doing if the season is voided? Or indeed the clubs who have just lost out on European football because of the decision? They're not just going to shrug their shoulders and take their financial loss on the chin, they'll be looking for compensation too.
There's also the problem of precedent. If the 19/20 season is voided then that raises the prospect that the 20/21 season could also be voided if similar issues arise. Which is an extremely pressing issue given at this point it seems likely that the 20/21 season will experience some sort of truncation, delays and/or uncertainty. Every single interested party will be looking for assurances that 20/21 won't be voided and that they aren't going to experience the same losses again, so what solution would be proposed? And what do you tell them when they ask why the solution for 20/21 can't be applied for the 19/20 season?
It'd be a mess.
