This could be a very big thing really.

Clarification is really required, there are schools out there taking the p*ss royally, but the arrangement sometimes suits FI's as it allows them to Foxtrot Oscar at short notice if something better pops up.

For people like me, this won't make a difference, but for full time FI's whose sole income is from one school it should be good.

Many clubs and schools need to get more organised anyway, this will force it to happen.

It may even help them keep a closer eye on the accounts. Many schools have gaping holes and there have been a lot of cases where people have taken the mick something chronic and have only been found out a long time after the fact.

In good schools this won't make a huge amount of difference, but with some of the hookier ones, this will make things better if it goes through.
