It has become accepted in previous years that clubs allow players to accumulate debt throughout the season and collect monies owed at the end of the season, this is now considered poor practice.
The FA's Football Debt Recovery Rules, which can be downloaded from the link at the bottom right hand corner of this page, are strict on timescales for this process to take place, following these guidelines will allow the club to come to the County FA for assistance.
As a County FA we are unable to deal with any case of bad debt which does not conform with this criteria, we therefore urge all clubs to familiarise themselves with these regulations and adopt good practice by collecting money due from players on a regular basis.
Anyone with any queries regarding this process should contact james.payne@suffolkfa.com.
