ECP is a programme that has been practiced in the Spanish Laliga is seen as the perfect tool to help educate teams in Malaysia to spend within their means, and will be implemented in stages until the complete roll-out targeted for the 2021 season.
MFL president Datuk Hamidin is urging all teams to be ready with the ECP implementation and he sees the upcoming briefing in November by the advisors of ECP in PricewaterhouseCoppers Risk Services, Laliga and MFL as the right opportunity for teams to understand further on the what is required.
