Macclesfield - the next club to go under?

Macc had another 7 point deduction today,that leaves them next to bottom place (above Southend).
I will be very very surprised if they still exist as a football team in 2/3 years time.

What for? Failure to complete fixtures for the past 6 weeks?

Failing to play a match vs Plymouth in December and non payment of players wages in February. All pre COVID-19.

Seems odd given the season is about to get scrapped. Hardly a punishment if there is no relegation.

Macc holding onto Football League status by the skin of their teeth.
Stevenage are relegated but could get a reprieve pending a misconduct charge from 1st June against Macc.

Macc relegated from The Football League to the National League after the EFL won a points deduction appeal .
So Stevenage finish above Macc and stay in The Football League.
Macc have struggled in recent seasons. I think that they will end up part-time, as will a lot of other lower league/non league teams.

I was born in Macc and it's very sad to see what's happened at the club. From what I understand Amar Alkhadi, the owner, has bled it dry, leaving no money to pay wages, resulting in several point deductions and court orders. Expulsion from the league was pretty much inevitable. There was even an interested buyer (Sealey) earlier in the season but Alkhadi refused to sell or was obstructive and so it came to nothing. Appalling state of affairs.
