Bad management by the money men for years. Feel sorry for the fans who always dip out in these circumstances.

Sheep will be nervous tonight. (Couldn’t resist it) 😉

It would be nice if we can get a friendly  there when they start up, a nice gesture to them

I think we're probably the last team they'd want to play to be honest.

Robbie Savage is rumoured to be investing in the new club.

Like with Bury, should have happened years ago.

Shame they couldn't have started together at the same time, should have drawn some good attention to the level.

It looks like Macc have turned a corner and got some local business talent on the board.

It will take a while to repair the damage but we can look forward to more local rivalry at some point.

Unless they win promotion every season (or we go down) it won't be for a good few years, unless you count the Cheshire Senior Cup.

They will probably go up each season up to Northern prem

There's also potential for more clubs to go belly up before Covid is over. It could result in quite a few forced changes.

It is ironic that Macc don't even exist and they weree still ahead of 2 teams in the league until tonight!

I'd be very embarrassed!

Aren't they officially expelled from the NL tonight or something?

I suppose the 4th npl division could be postponed agan next year...

Just been on BBC Breakfast, Robbie Savage to be Head of Football Operations.

Currently speaking live from Macclesfield so don't know whether he lives there.

Also doesn't indicate whether he will make any financial contribution.

A Welshman living in Macclesfield could put a huge amount of livestock at risk....

 ;D So funny One foot..

He was on BBC news last night, his U15 team was playing at Moss Rose

The owner was there as well, apparently his son was born in Macc and went to a nearby school, interesting to see which league they are placed in.

I thought the bloke who's bought Macclesfield already owned Stockport Town (late Woodley Sports) in the NWCL? What's the rules about owning two clubs in the pyramid?
They might even end up in the same league. How about that for a conflict of interest?!!

I would think he'll relinquish Stockport Town.

He announced that he would be disposing of Stockport Town on the same day he announced he was buying the assets of Macclesfield Town. Why shouldn't he start planning revenue generation schemes?

He also announced that they will be laying a 4G pitch to create further income steams.

Just being a voice for all those small businesses they didn’t pay before they dissolved into thin air. They’ll be no debts honoured from any revenue streams they create because the clubs got new faces now. Just got an unpleasant smell about it.

Where do you draw the line on all this though? They've been publicly humiliated, wound up in the courts, and their next league match will probably be 5 or 6 divisions below their last one (our drop of two divisions was excruciating enough).  That's the price they are paying for starting anew and the debts not being honoured, painful as it clearly would be for those out of pocket. If the new guy is trying to build something sustainable then fair play.

That's a matter for the previous owner. This is a new football club and a different owner. If it was a case of the old guy relaunching it you'd have a point. In your model you'd be expecting the guy that buys the corner shop to pay the debts of the previous occupant.

I'd expect them to have a little more decorum than Macc have shown this week with the sports bar whilst local suppliers will have lost out. They have bought the assets for no doubt pence in the pound - including a Twitter account with the clubs old badge used to launch this new bar.

Money can buy a football club, but doesn't buy the ability to read the room.

Think they're going to be paying local suppliers upfront for quite some time!

As HaleAlty said, it is a different club.

I know that often a business goes bust and next thing you know it rises again under the control of another family member. In those circumstances I wouldn't support it but it's clear that the cause of the problem has got nothing to do with the new set up so I wish them well until they get back to our level.
