Macclesfield
1Docked another 2 points and forced to provide a business plan for 2021, but avoid relegation..for now
Why would we be? You surely realise that this is the ruling of an EFL disciplary panel into their off the field dodgy practices this season. The two points is in addition to the eleven they have already accrued through failure to pay players on time multiple times this season and late postponements on two occasions.Mr Figo wrote:Let's hope we are not placed in the same position as them.

Maybe the EFL were looking ahead and thinking that, if relegated, Macclesfield might be denied entry to the National League. This might kill the club and the EFL would be cast in the role of the bad guy. This way they leave the door ajar and if Macclesfield don't put their house in order pdq, they can have no excuses if they go the way of Bury. Give them enough rope. Although this final decision was made by an independent panel. Personally I think it's HMRC allowing eleven adjournments to the winding up order that has been the major culprit. I suppose Macclesfield also got lucky because they were unwilling to hear winding up petitions during the Covid crisis, although the debts were racked up well before this.phil crump wrote:It’s all wrong to be honest they weren’t paying players all season on time with fans and the EFL are more than likely going to have a bury fiasco all over again can’t imagine there will be too many players willing to sign for them either
It may have been is the only answer to that. However Macclesfield have finished 23rd. Without the docking of points they would have finished 23rd. In reality what punishment is that?George Street-Bridge wrote:There's no maybe about it. Macclesfield have been punished - I think too lightly - for specific offences. We'd only find ourselves in the same situation if we'd done the same. We didn't.
The deduction been pitched at a level which means there's no point Macclesfield appealing so L2 can at long last publish a final table. Was that the driver here?
My mother went to Bassaleg. But I think that the real reason is that the League table wasn't of much interest since about November, and life is too short to look at the final table.Percy plunkett wrote:You obviously didn’t go to Bassaleg then Brendan.Without the docked points,they would have 36 points and be above Morecambe in 22nd.
