CLUB finance monitoring system
We are dedicated to maintaining integrity in grassroots football and creating an inclusive environment where children feel safe, welcome and free to express themselves through football.
Central to our mission is ensuring that every club adheres to the highest standards of conduct both on and off the pitch. To maintain fairness and impartiality, there are times when we must take decisive action, including the suspension of a club's participation due to disciplinary issues.
​
​To ensure transparency and consistency in these decisions, we have implemented a traffic light club monitoring system, which is detailed below. This system helps us manage and address any concerns proactively, ensuring the integrity and spirit of the game are upheld.
​
Should you have any questions or queries about this process, please contact a League Official using our Contact Us page.
The system
The CFMS is based on a 'traffic light' approach. Each CLUB is given a grading of RED, AMBER or GREEN. It is important to know, that it is a club, and it is the club that will faces suspension from footballing activity with our league should they fail to meet the expected financial standards, not individual teams.
GREEN GRADING
ALL clubs will start with a green grading at the beginning of the season. They will remain there throughout the season, unless reports of missed payments and poor financial practices are received by EMJFL Officials.
AMBER GRADING
Clubs will move into the amber grading when reports of missed payments and poor financial practices are received. Clubs will then be given the opportunity to rectify these issues, bring their account up to date and report back to EMJFL the action taken to prevent this happening again. If EMJFL Officials believe the correct provisions have been put in place, finances are up to date and any financial issues have been dealt with accordingly, the club will move back into the green segmentation.
RED GRADING
Clubs will move into the red banding when persistent late payments occur, you fall significantly behind in your payment structure and/or multiple reports of poor financial practices are received and not rectified by the Club in question. Clubs will then have 7 days to either attend a hearing, bring their account up to date and take direct appropriate action. Failure to do so will result in the whole club having its fixtures suspended.
