There are already a load of restrictions surrounding clubs and players. Players have to be registered at a club, which probably has to be registered with a Football Association, which in turns leads to membership of UEFA and FIFA.
The UK has 4 separate Football Associations, which is why England, Scotland, Wales and NI are treated separately.

Theoretically nothing can stop them forming their own league, but there is nothing to say the various levels of Football Associations have to let them be part of their competitions etc. After all, this new league is closed in nature.
