Improper for clubs to use MFL payment failure as excuse for arrears, says PFAM's Izham

Malaysian clubs should not blame league organiser Malaysia Football League's (MFL) recent failure to complete paying the 2019 broadcasting rights payment for their arrears to players.

This is the opinion expressed by the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO), Izham Ismail.

MFL earlier this month admitted that it will not be able to fulfil the payment it had promised to Super League and Premier League clubs, and several teams such as Sabah and Terengganu FC have either already spoken out against the shortfall, or cited it as a reason for their recent financial hiccups.
