At the turn of May and June, the PZPN started an explanatory procedure in connection with the information received regarding the unethical and contrary to the provisions – the Disciplinary Regulations of the PZPN and Resolutions of the PZPN Management Board No. III / 42 of March 27, 2015 on cooperation with transaction brokers – the activities of certain transaction brokers, as well as management agencies.
It concerned the possibility of committing disciplinary offenses, including in particular:
– taking over working players, often for many years, with other transaction intermediaries, in particular exposing players to the need to pay contractual penalties, due to the lack of clearly obvious important reasons enabling the early termination of the agency contract with another transaction intermediary;
– inducing players to terminate agency contracts with other transaction intermediaries by using unethical actions, in particular those based on exerting mental pressure;
– transferring money to players and offering them other financial benefits, aimed at persuading players to change the transaction agent and sign a contract with another management agency;
– using groups of Polish national teams, of various age categories, to meet players in order to persuade them to change the transaction intermediary.
The PZPN will inform about the results of the initiated disciplinary proceedings and possible penalties imposed on transaction intermediaries after the completion of the activities.
