I think he's referring to the financial situation of the league. The Athletics, Atleticos etc. will have to gain enough pull to force a renegotiation of the La Liga TV deals. Right now those clubs can't afford to keep their players because of mounting debt. If the TV deals still remain favorable to Barça and Real, the taxman might finally come down on teams without enough assets.

Yep. How much longer until Isco, Castro, Leon, Turan, Aspas, Falcao and others are scooped up by bigger clubs? Their current clubs can't afford to keep them once the bids start coming in.

I agree about that, but I think that the Catalan secession movement will bring on new talks with Barca wanting to be able to stay in La Liga if secession happens.
