If Macclesfield did go bust and the results expunged then we would sit in 3rd place in the table behind FGR and Crewe who have yet to play them.
In the top 9 places Swindon, Exeter and Cheltenham would be 3 points worse off each, Bradford 1 point and Northampon 0 as they lost to them. Plymouth and Port Vale have also yet to play them.
I can think of a manager who might have been confident enough to say "they can take the 3 points, no problem, we will still win this league". Maybe not the case now and rightly so. Probably. |

Mass protests expected at Oldham today vs Orient by Oldham fans.
The club have said they are in financial problems again and the HMRC are knocking at the door for unpaid tax. The club say thats partly due to only having 1 home game in the month of November.
Not looking great for the Latics, again, another club that seem to go from crisis to crisis.
A good and sad example for the "could be worse" thread, as a once Premier League club which by last season had slipped to the bottom half of League Two. |

As noted before, if Macc go bang it will be a very peculiar one as there are a number of parties with the cash to buy them if the bloody owner would just sell, although that does possibly suggest some rather large skeletons may be in the cupboard! |

Yeah its a bit like the Oystons at Blackpool, it seems a stubborness by the owner thats stopping progress. |

Plus another four point deduction that is currently suspended, not sure what the criteria is, or what it's for, but as far as we're concerned point wise, it's much better than administration. |

They can appeal, but would it make any difference ?, Probably get it increased to 10 points !. |

EFL refused them permission to play behind closed doors. Then charged them with misconduct

I can remember so clearly driving past Chesterfield's new ground on the way to Sheffield United in the 2015 play offs. They were home to Preston and lost 1-0 IIRC. Shows how quickly the fortunes of teams change. I counted recently that since we dropped out of the 2nd tier in 99/00, now 20 seasons ago, that 14 teams we played at tiers three and four had gone onto the PL. The number of teams we played in tiers three and four over the same period dropping out the league is very similar. |
