I think the authorities need to have stricter rules in place and set higher expectations of owners, and do far more investigation into whether an owner can afford to run a club. In a similar manner to banks offering mortgages.

This is the result of YEARS of mismanagement at Macclesfield. How many times were their players paid late? Even when they were top of the league.

If suitable owners can't be found, Supporters Trusts should step up and budget within their means. If that means they get relegated a few times then so be it; but at least people will know where they stand.
You misunderstand me. I would wind the club up and then pay the players what they are owed.
