Malaysian football clubs could face expulsion from next year's M-League if they fail to cough up deposits.

To ensure that players' wages are paid on time, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) wants top-flight clubs to pay a deposit of RM3 million (S$1.2 million), second-tier sides RM2 million and third-level clubs RM500,000, before they can compete in the next season.

Ten clubs in the 14-strong M-League are in debt, with three sides facing sanctions for failing to pay players' wages.

"A warning letter will be sent to the teams concerned and we hope that they will settle the amount before the new M-League registration deadline next month (Nov 23), failing which we may have to take action against them," said FAM Vice-President Hamidin Mohd Amin to local media. "We will deduct the amount owed from their prize money, incentives, deposits and gate collections to settle the outstanding amount."

Four months ago, the FAM warned all teams that they could face expulsion from Malaysia's top flight if they failed to pay players on time.
