Ouch, National League will not like the look of Macclesfield in this state. We know that they are zero tolerance with it.

This is a club that we have had a friendly rivalry with for many years. Parking the car on that estate behind the ground. The long walk there and back to the good fish and chip shop without talking about matters on the pitch. For me what is sad here is yet another clubs set of fans are now suffering due to poor management of a football club/corrupt owners. The EFL although they seem to have made the correct call eventually should of clamped down on this a long time ago as their situation has been rumbling on far too long. Agreed it’s ludicrous that Stevenage shall maintain league status given their awful points tally. We were blessed by the Hereford situation not long ago. As another post says Macc may not be welcome in the national league due to their strict rules . That leaves potentially two going baring the Dover situation in mind. Again given all that we’ve been through as a club over the years tonight I feel for the players and supporters of Macc.

It's the same old story, corrupt, looney, dodgy, incompetent (delete as applicable) owners ruin the club and get to walk away. Fans suffer ultimately, they will stick with the club whatever but get punished even though it's not their fault. The owners don't suffer the outcome if they leave.
Got to feel sorry for the fans they've had a rough time, even going back to when they won the conference and had their promotion blocked through ground grading from the Football League when the same organisation deemed it OK for us to play League games there for two years.
They say life isn't fair, well football definitely isn't fair.

Wonder how it’ll work when tens of clubs go into administration following the effects of the pandemic. The FL going to kick them all out and the NL not going to accept them?

Feel sorry for the fans??
Their whole away end (a pathetic 300) last time we played them all singing we let our club die.

Clubs can only go into a League if there is a place for them. Macc got relegated so the NL would have to put them into either NL or NLN/NLS. Lets face it about them though Macclesfield have been a basket case for years and this has been coming for a long time.

Yes I agree on Macc, I’m just pondering what’ll happen to the many clubs who will face the inevitable financial difficulties over the coming months.

Whilst I agree its the right decision how Stevenage are staying up is ludicrous and that idiot Westley they have won 3 games all season yet stay up EFL a complete and total joke once again What were the EFL supposed to do? Not deduct Macclesfield Town points, therefore condoning non-payment of wages? The rules have got to be the same for everyone and applied the same regardless of who is the wrong-doer. Same goes for the wage cap. Sad for Macclesfields fans, but heaven knows we know all about being punished for having rogue owners.

Feels like Macc have had problems for years now, and it was inevitable that this would end up happening. It's rather grating that Stevenage survived with Westley and 3 wins all season, but when a club continuously cannot pay their staff then they suffer the consequences eventually. They should relegate them into our league, would replace Alty as a decent local game!

If they are deemed a risk then they wouldn't put them in either of their Leagues. Very decent away day though granted.

It was the case in the past at least that the National League had to accept any club being relegated out of the Football League as part of the agreement for clubs to be promoted to the League. Don’t know if that’s still the case, but one possibility is they will do to them what they did to Boston in 2007 and put them into the National League North rather than Premier. Can see the NL being genuinely concerned about whether Macc will get through the season.

Feel like this is something that should have been decided when PPG final standings were announced about two months ago, instead of placing clubs in limbo. Feel for the diehard Macc fans as don't think this will be the end of this saga.
Evo-stick leagues or bust I fear

Feel for the diehard Macc fans as don't think this will be the end of this saga. Evo-stick leagues or bust I fear I imagine Macc fans have had a bellyful of constantly going through financial problems. It's nothing new for them, which suggests to me that the club just isn't sustainable in it's current guise. There will be plenty of clubs in the coming years that will end up doing what we did and reforming with fan ownership. That, as we know, has it's limitations but at least we've never been unable to pay wages. You'd think that in the economic climate there won't be as many businessmen investing in football clubs, and those that currently do may be looking for a way out, leaving clubs with no other choice that to reform under the fans if they want to survive.

Just read this piece in the Sheffield Star saying that Sheffiled Wednesday have lost £3.5m in revenue
"The club has missed out on an eye-watering £3.5 million according to Business Rescue Expert, making them the 10th biggest losers in the Championship.
Manchester City topped the entire table, reportedly losing a whopping £23.9 million because of the coronavirus shutdown, with Manchester United second on £17.7 million in lost income.
Leeds United topped the Championship table with an estimated lost £6.85 million.
Derby lost £5.8 million with Fulham third on £5.1 million.
The full breakdown of every league club in England suggests that a total of £305 million has been lost".
Truly eyewatering figures although most teams will be able to cope at the moment heaven knows what the figures are in Non League and how many are on the brink as they wont have the sugar daddies to absorb these losses

EFL have rejected Macclesfield's request for a reprieve I think they had a cheek appealing to be honest, after how much they messed everyone about last season. Sympathy with their fans and players, but as a club they deserved to be relegated.

EFL have rejected Macclesfield's request for a reprieve Written reasons for rejecting that reprieve - ' During the 2019/2020 season, the Respondent has committed 91 breaches of the EFL Regulations. Since December 2019 there have already been appearances before three Disciplinary Commissions and a League Arbitration Panel. There have been a number of concerns raised by the Appellant with the Respondent about the Respondent’s failure to meet certain of its financial obligations, including payment of players’ salaries on various dates between July 2019 and March 2020 and failure to fulfil fixtures.' www.efl.com/siteassets/efl-documents/youth-alliance/200818---efl-v-macclesfield-town-fc-3-appeal---decision.pdf
