Yes every smaller club will feel for Macclesfield, especially those who have suffered points deductions.
Unfortunately all of this was almost inevitable. They went up from the National League despite being unable to sort out their finances throughout their promotion season. They went up in no state to compete at a higher level. Nevertheless they managed to survive. But it couldn't last.
If they were an ordinary business and not a football club Macc would no longer exist. The same applies throughout the lower divisions. Chesterfield ….. loss-making and £8 million in debt clutching the feeble straw that a supporters' trust can cobble together sufficient finance to take over …….. It's no good us feeling for Macc, they need the big boys at the top of the food chain to feel for them. Otherwise power and faceless bureaucracy will keep fining them and deducting points until they either reach a level low enough for finance to be less of an issue, or they cease to exist.
