SINE DIE SUSPENSIONS
A player is placed under Sine Die suspension when they owe money to either the Shropshire FA or to a League or Club that has used the Debt Recovery Scheme.
Before signing a player it is essential that you check to ensure that they are not under any form of suspension. A player under Sine Die suspension is prevented from taking part in any form of football activity.
Any player under Sine Die suspension can have their suspension lifted immediately on payment of the outstanding debt.
