I have been approached by a football club with a view to taking up a position of employment. What happens now?
You are not permitted to have any formal ties with a club in membership of The FA Premier League, The Football League or Football Conference. Should you wish to take up such a position or a financial interest, you shall be required to surrender your licence to The FA and your licensed status will be rescinded. However, upon written request, you are permitted a 12-month ‘grace period’ from the date you surrender your licence (or take up a footballing role, whichever is the earliest), in which to return to football agency (provided you have the relevant insurance cover and comply with the Regulations). Please note that during any period of unlicensed status, your clients should be offered the opportunity to terminate existing representation contracts, because as an unlicensed individual, you would not be able to fulfil your contractual obligations thereunder during this period.
