League Two Macclesfield

Macclesfield players take legal advice over unpaid wages

Macclesfield players are seeking legal advice and looking to cancel their playing contracts after the club have, once again, failed to pay their salaries.

www.skysports.com

Not looking good for Macclesfield and a very real/sad prospect for another Bury in the same season. Especially as well as wages, they have an outstanding tax bill of £73k which I suspect may be going up with a reduced cashflow after the Bradford game was called off. Alternatively, they could survive but do a Bolton if they lose a load of players by using youth players.

The potential buyer for Macclesfield has said he is optimistic that a deal will be done. He was on Skys Sports News saying he wants to build an Academy and build the club below the 1st team. Although, amusingly he did say he is targeting L1 in 3 years, is this the new "Football League in 5 years" when a non-league club is bought by somebody like Glen Tamplin.

Had that done to me by MFI when they went bust. Good job I was a fully paid up member of the shop workers union USDAW. A couple of letters to the administrators and the money strangely materialised! ( I still lost a shed load of bonus payments and vouchers - bastards! )

It is a really scummy thing to do.

The EFL are hiding behind the sofa again, hoping the problems will go away.

 

[MarkG]

There’s a big correlation between clubs who are on the winding up petition thread and the ones which are up s**t Creek half a season later whether financially or by league position. Hope f*****g hopefully we will be the exception.

Just don't play the game, they will only get a suspended points deduction.

Looks like they are going to take your advice.

I see Sol Campbell is backing the winding up petition - he is apparently owed £182000. Given he was there for 9 months I assume he was never paid...

Another one bites the dust.................

Macclesfield Town v Crewe Alexandra suspended by English Football League

Macclesfield's League Two game against Crewe is suspended by the EFL, with players "adversely affected" by financial issues.

How on earth could they afford to pay him that amount on crowds of what 1200 a game?
I assume that there was a huge bonus for keeping them up but that's still ridiculous.

Some on other forums have suggested he paid some of the club's bills during his time there which is wrapped up in that figure.

that would make sense.

Man, I was hoping this would be the season that Stevenage propped up the football league and went back to non-league, where they belong.

Alas, with first Bury and now Macclesfield, it seems like the financial problems of others are going to save all the teams that are just really bad at football this season.


(and yeah - I know I'm making light of a bad situation at Macc. I very much hope they pull out of it and survive. But it doesn't sounds good......and given their relatively small size and short league history, I bet they get the Bury treatment, not the Bolton treatment from the FA)

We'll have a majority Corbyn Govt before Morecambe get relegated back down the drain.
