Bulls Await Tribunal Decisions


Hereford United are awaiting tribunal decisions for compensation fees payable for two former players.

Recently Sam Clucas and Ryan Bowman moved to Mansfield and York respectively.

Both were under 24 and had been offered new contracts by the Bulls but decided to leave Edgar Street.

It's expected the tribunals will take place in August.

Below are some of the FL rules about tribunals.

In setting compensation fees, the PFCC (Professional Football Compensation Committee) take into account the costs of training and development, the player's age and playing record, the length of time he was registered with his former club, the terms offered by both clubs, the status of the two clubs and the interest shown by other clubs in acquiring the registration of the player.
In accordance with the rules of the Premier League and The Football League, and in agreement with The Professional Footballers' Association, the Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC) is responsible for setting the compensation fee for players Under 24 where the club formerly holding his registration and the club next holding his registration fail to reach an agreement regarding compensation for training and development.
The PFCC comprises of an independent Chairman, an appointee from The Football League, an appointee of The Professional Footballers' Association and an appointee of the League Managers' Association.
