My simplistic reasoning for this, is contracts

Loyalty is forced on players in La Liga. If a club says you're staying and honouring your contract, you have to.

Otherwise the Spanish FA sanction fifa, and players get banned internationally, and also if breach contract in Spain, I think you have to pay back wages you've earnt from the past

It sort of forces players to unite because there's no other real power vacuum. Once a player is forced into staying, they often settle and become fans favourites. That's why you hear a lot of stories in spain about players who've been here or there for 8-10 seasons

The English league would massively improve in standard or general stability if contracts were tied with strict fifa punishments to em

Collymore learnt that after walking out on Oviedo, and effectively ended his career regardless of claiming he'd retired
