Fair enough.  I'm guessing it probably has something to do with the Prem being against Brexit.  Now more clarity as to why:  if Brexit happens, then EU players will not have the automatic ability to come and go into the Prem as they and the Prem please.  With strict British laws in place already which restrict the number of work permits granted, the pool of "foreign" players could now be reduced and possibly stunt the growth of the league (the younger players' development, more than anything else).  These restricted work permits were previously doled out to players out of the continent (mainly Africa, and slightly to other non EU nations' players), but now they will have to be split among European, African and other players.  

Now I see why the prem claims this will "kill" the league.
