The club is a shambles. They need sorting out rapidly.

Points deducted for not fulfilling a fixture.
Small scale stuff in the general context of things. No English league club has completed a fixture since March.

Sad state of affairs really. They're an alright club Macclesfield Town. Decent set of loyal supporters and I've played against both Bob and John Askey in amateur and they're both lovely.... And sensationally good at football.

EFL are cowardly. I know rules are rules but they've shafted Wigan Bury and Macc but fudged it on Wednesday and Derby
Yet Parry will still pick up his humungous salary.
Corrupt

As with other clubs in a similar situation, they have been shafted by the owners. I have it on good authority that the Bianchi family (owners of the posh local furniture store) were prepared to invest, but withdrew when they found out who they would be dealing with.

Corrupt It's another example of treating certain clubs differently. Fair enough, if they've broken rules they should be punished. But, Macc are docked points immediately for failing to play a game meanwhile Bolton fail to finish their previous season calling a game off against Brentford and also one against Doncaster this last season. Their punishment of 5 points was only suspended for these failings. Also, the way Bolton were treated against that of Bury in a similar situation shows inconsistency with the EFL.

Totally agree. Why is Sheffield Wednesdays punishment put onto next season. And where is the derby punishment. Fucking EFL just bullying smaller clubs.

While there does seem to be a lack of consistency over when points deductions are applied, it’s worth noting that all three of Wigan, Sheff Wed, and Macc have had points deducted for different reasons.
Wigan - entering administration
Wednesday - breaching FFP rules
Macc - failing to pay players and failing to fulfil fixtures
I really feel for Macc’s fans, but it does feel to me like failing to fulfil a fixture is something that should be punished in the current season not the next.

Scared that a lot of the bigger clubs in the championship are ready breakaway to form premier 2, which will probably happen anyway. Coates and a few other chairmen are challenging EFL how FFP Is done already and I think if they don’t get it changed they’ll breakaway.

This really stinks - it's seemed for a while that the EFL have wanted to get Macclesfield out but didn't want to have to expel them like they did with Bury. So they've eventually managed to get enough points deductions to 'relegate' them five months after the last ball was kicked
Obviously the owners deserve most of the blame, but the way the EFL have handled this has not been good
Feel sorry for the fans, staff and the players

I think they will be out of business by Xmas

As a Stoke fan from Stevenage I am relieved to see Stevenage stay up, though I still feel sorry for Macclesfield. Regardless, the EFL seem to be making it up as they go along, with Sheffield Wednesday being deducted next season but doing Wigan this season. Plus the points deductions that Derby and Birmingham City should be getting doesn't seem to be materialising.
Some League 2 fan Twitter accounts were attempting to encourage fan council meetings to move towards a vote of no confidence in the EFL and its decision makers.

In isolation I think Macclesfield, Wigan and Bury have been treated fairly in line with the existing rules. The issue is the way the punishments handed out to Sheff Weds and Derby have been dealt with defies any logic or sense of natural justice.

Shouldn't it read Ex Sol Cambell Macclesfield points deduction GD What is so crazy and unbelievable is that Campbell left Macc after 8 months with the club owing him £182k in unpaid wages. What brain dead 4th tier club would give their head coach a contract which would extrapolate close to £300k a year. Absolutely nutcases.

Hope you enjoyed your stay here! The new stand took a very long time to happen but I am glad that it will be seeing League football. It was only open for a few games before Coronavirus put a stop to that. I prefer to go in the East terrace to stand with the main group to get the atmosphere, plus it's a bit cheaper.

Probably a fair few clubs in League 2 pay their managers in that ballpark I'm not in any position to know, but on nthe basis that there are a thousand unemployed managers out there, 99% of whom have more experience than Campbell, I personally would be astonished if there was even another one on that sort of money, never mind "a fair few". I mean, why pay that if you don't have to?
Seems to me that someone at the Moss Rose wanted a "name" manager, but the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry (even Paul Ince!) wouldn't touch Macclesfield with a 40 ft pole.
And Southend certainly won't have been paying him £300k a year, or anything like it.
