Re: Macclesfield Town wound up in High Court
Even when they won the National League title a few years back they were creaking and players were not getting paid - heading the same way as Bury and there are likely to be even more - Southend United ?
Should the football world bale them out ? there are enough big clubs out there paying astronomical wages to individual players.
Esther Rantzen was on Breakfast TV talking about the BBC and pointing out Gary Lineker is taking a £400,000 pay cut whilst pensioners over 75 no longer are entitled to a free TV licence - it's a similar situation down on 'the grass' - the Football League could surely band clubs into a preservation society to help out those in financial trouble - but there again I suppose some would abuse it - football stinks in reality - the only possible saviours are probably the fanbase of Macclesfield Town itself - and perhaps aided by supporters of other clubs - however they would have to find a way of standing on their own two feet eventually.
