could have had a nice career actually..but gives hope on feeling for a club..not all about money
It's all about nobody else wanting him for the price Villa want. He would have gone to Spurs 2 years ago and stropped that they wouldn't let him and was desperate to go to Utd this.
 
Smith just confirmed there were no bids for him. So no decision to be made, he's just costing them more money for the same thing.
 
Macclesfield Town Football Club has been wound up in the High Court over debts totalling more than £500,000.
 
How on earth could they owe an ex-manager £173,000? And I've never heard of John Askey.

Managed them for five years to be fair. I thought Askey did an excellent job in his time there - got them promoted and won the FA Trophy on a tiny budget (smallest in the league I think) due to all the financial problems. Saw a few games and his side played some nice stuff.

Whilst I have not seen evidence to back this up, Warnock strikes me as a classic anti-masker, "the virus is a con", tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist.

Warnock was said to be surprised at the news as he's never even been tested :icon_lol:
 
Hmmm. Is that the spewings of the actual owner? Who is a complete shitehawk and 99.99% to blame for Bury going pop.
 
Nice little club Macc. But this has been on the cards for a long, long, long time. It's horrible to say but they're just not sustainable. Hardly anyone round there is interested.
 
I think the current situation will see a few clubs go. It's probable that some would have gone over the next few years anyway, this country sustains more levels of professional football than others, and i suspect this will just speed up the inevitable.
 
This is a total guess, so apologies if it's completely wrong. My guess is that Askey was on a twelve month rolling contract and that £173,000 became due when they fired him. Or perhaps he had longer left to run on a fixed term contract with a lower annual rate of pay.

Either way, I just cannot comprehend how a club at that level could give a manager a contract where they could potentially owe that much. There just isn't enough money floating around the lower divisions.
 
They'd not been paying him properly for a long time and he was due bonuses when he got them promoted (money I don't think they ever budgeted for as by rights, they should have been nowhere near).

Also some people promise a lot of things and never deliver.
 
20,000 people in Chicago's stadium to watch their NFL game.

Time we got the fans back in.
 
Not overly keen on using the US as a good example thanks.
