Pompey Repatriated Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54177582 Quote Macclesfield Town FC wound up in High Court over debts exceeding £500,000 By Jay FreemanBBC Sport 16 September 2020 Macclesfield Macclesfield Town Football Club has been wound up in the High Court over debts totalling more than £500,000. Judge Sebastian Prentis made a winding-up order during a hearing in the Insolvency and Companies Court after being told £190,000 was owed in tax. In addition, a solicitor for John Askey said the National League club's ex-manager was owed £173,000, while a financial lender was owed the same sum. The club's owner Amar Alkadhi had asked for a further eight-week adjournment. The decision to wind up the club comes just over a month after Macclesfield were relegated from the English Football League (EFL) at the end of a tumultuous 2019-20 season on and off the pitch.

skygod Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) That’s Macclesfield and Bury gone and Stockport County are in the National League, although I think they’ve been down to the NL North. Too many clubs in the Greater Manchester area getting squeezed out by the big two? Or just badly run? Isn’t Derek Adams manager at Macclesfield?

red_dug Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 English football will consume itself eventually. Gutted for fans of these clubs. No doubt starved of fans and finance due to the success of clubs nearby and not so nearby. No too dissimilar to the situation in this country. 90% of todays youth don't give a toss about family ties or tradition. They must be associated with success at all costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham and Bolton have also suffered recently with financial problems. The prem clubs rule the roost in that area. Rochdale are probably the only "well run" club in that region out with the big 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LH31 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Seems to be a big emphasis on crowd testing to get punters back in for reasons above. Hopefully most clubs can avoid similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all going to come tumbling down. All very ironic in the week when the mega clubs again attempt prevent the others from getting even the crumbs from the table. The media companies have killed football and are now methodically moving their way through the rest of sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
