The obvious difficulty was always how and when any games are going to be played. The FA have this vague idea that it "will be fine" soon, so cracked on.
Now we're seeing arguably the even greater issues starting in earnest, the clubs rebelling.
We're hearing soundbites of players not wanting to play and a few clubs saying that's fine.
Now what happens if 5-6 clubs band together and say they refuse to play? You can't relegate them all.
For most, there are two principles of a league - everyone plays everyone home and away, and all positions are declared at the end of the season.
They loosened this a bit for Tottenham last year, messing about between two grounds, but to loosen it to the extend they are talking is really stretching things.
And that's if we even can play it out, which is looking less possible by the week.
Then the idea of champions but no other positions declared? Bonkers.
