Surely it would be more feasible to change their home games to here then for the foreseeable

Thought pro sports was exempt from that stuff.

According to the Telegraph this only applies from Monday anyway.

Who do you expect to pay for them to live here for the next four months? What about the players who aren't willing to do that? Don't forget many of them won't be on amazing money to make that sacrifice worthwhile.

Don't talk sense. It's not good good on social media.

If it was required for me to go and live in a different country for 4 months in order to complete my duties, I would expect my employer to pay for it.

I think you're missing my point. Ignoring the cap implications, you can't just assume Les Catalans (who have lost God knows how much revenue in tickets sales throughout COVID) are willing and able to foot the sizeable unexpected bill to house and feed 30 or so players for four months, all whilst they continue to get £0 coming in ticket sales. Add in that some of the players might not be up for being away from their families for four months for wages that aren't necessarily that great in many cases.

I thought there were travel exemptions for too tier professional sport?
