PAY DELAY ROCKS MACC
#1
Despite topping the National League in January Macclesfield's players were not paid on time raising fears over the Silkmen's long-term future.

Players and staff released a statement on 1st February revealing they not only hadn't been paid, but also had not been told why. Neither the owner, nor the Chairman had been in touch with them according to the statement, despite attempts to seek clarification by both players and the management.

The Chairman attended a meeting on 2nd February, but that was the first time manager John Askey or the players had met him for eight weeks, though he has attended some matches.

Three players have recently been drafted into the club to help their push for the top, but this was helped by a player fund which raised £21,000. These donations have been made on the basis that contributors will have their pledge refunded plus the same amount again should the club achieve promotion.
