Maybe PL could persuade them to join the SPFL?
Barcelona could join English Premier League if Catalonia gains independence Catalan sports minister insists Barca, Espanyol and Girona will have to decide where they want to play after La Liga chief maintains they cannot be part of Spain's top flight if the region goes it alone.
Spoiler: click to toggle ByNeil McLeman Barcelona could end up plying their trade in the English Premier League if Catalonia wins independence, according to the region's sports minister. The claim was made after La Liga president Javier Tebas insisted that Catalan clubs would not be allowed to play in Spain's top flight should the region vote to go it alone. Sunday's referendum has been declared illegal by the Spanish government and ballot boxes have been seized with prime minister Mariano insisting the referendum “won't happen”. There is strong support for independence among Catalonia's 7.5m population – including from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - but parties loyal to Spain are boycotting the vote. Among the many uncertainties is what will happen to the region's football clubs, including Barca, if Catalonia becomes a new country. Gerard Figueras, Catalonia's minster of sport, said: “In the case of independence, Catalan teams in La Liga – Barcelona , Espanyol and Girona – will have to decide where they want to play: in the Spanish league or a neighbouring country: Italy, France or the Premier League. “Now in Spain there teams from other countries who play in national leagues: clubs from Andorra in football and basketball. Monaco play in France, in England Welsh clubs. I don't think that UEFA has anything against seeing another club play in a different league from their country.” La Liga chief Javier Tebas has said Catalan clubs will not be allowed in La Liga if Catalonia gains independence (Image: Getty Images Europe) Spain have insisted Barcelona will not be allowed to play in La Liga if the illegal vote goes through. La Liga president Javier Tebas said: “In sport, it isn't a la carte and things must be clearly stated. It isn't easy to have an agreement and study Spanish legislation but if they (Catalan clubs) do get that, then they will not be able to play in Spain's La Liga, but I hope it doesn't come to that." Guardiola, who has played for Catalonia's representative side, has backed independence. Speaking at a rally in June, the Manchester City manager said: “We have no other option but to vote. We call on the international community to support us and on democrats the world over to help us to defend the rights that are threatened in Catalunya, such as the right of freedom of expression and the right to vote.” A recent statement from Barcelona said: “FC Barcelona, in holding the utmost respect for its diverse body of members, will continue to support the will of the majority of Catalan people, and will do so in a civil, peaceful, and exemplary way.” http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/barcelona-could-join-english-premier-11257809

The top 6 in the Premier League want a greater slice of the revenue from the international television rights. Scudamore wants to allocate 35% of the total to placement finishes and the remaining evenly divided by the rest of the clubs. The big 6 want it entirely based on finishing places and are adamant that they should get a bigger cut as they account for 70% of international TV audiences. Think the collective bargaining model of the Premier League is nearing the end.
Will kill the league as a spectacle, and teams like Bournemouth and Brighton might as well not even bother. Absolutely sensational news for us though.

Absolutely sensational news for us though. Growing discontent between the smaller and the bigger teams of the Premier League is good for us.
I think it'll get to the point where the bigger teams will threaten to quit the league if they don't get their way.

it would be just like the english gravy train to let them in and ignore us ,would certainly ruffle a few feathers I doubt UEFA would allow it. 7.5 million is more than enough population to support their own league, the examples in the article are either from places way to small to be comparable or predate UEFA, in the case of Welsh clubs in England. Barca can't just come out and say "Catalonia is independent now, so were just gonna pick what league we're going to play in" I highly doubt it works like that.

Went to hear Chris Sutton & John Hartson talk about their playing days last night, thoroughly enjoyable.
Sutton was genuinely funny and enjoyed a good few self-deprecating jokes. Hartson seemed like he was more answering off the cuff but was very interesting to hear him admit he also thought Sutton was a better foil for the KoK than he was.

Sutton and Larsson was the best striking partnership we ever had. Probably in the entire history of our club. MON didn't get much wrong in his time here, but breaking those two up to accommodate BBJ was his weakness.
