MACCLESFIELD TOWN MANAGER JOHN ASKEY IN BIG FALL OUT WITH CHAIRMAN

Macclesfield Town manager John Askey and Club Chairman  Mark Blower are the subject of a massive fall out following the club hitting financial difficulties, and players have not been paid.


The Cheshire based club are top of the National League despite having no wins in their last four games, following a draw in their most recent game against 'strugglers' Torquay United.


A source close to the club claimed that the former Macclesfield Town player has not spoken to the Club Chairman for some time since the issues started between the club's board and management staff months ago.


The players/staff released a statement yesterday bringing to the attention that the club's players and staff not being paid, to make it clear what has happened.


The statement read: "As a team, we would like to make people aware that we have not been paid our January wages.

"Whilst this is alarming, what disappoints us most is that we were not notified by the owner or the chairman of the situation and have not been contacted since.
"All despite numerous attempts for clarity from the players and management.

"It has been well publicised that we have one of, if not the smallest budgets in the division and yet despite this, we are top of the National League.

"Throughout this season the team, management and staff have always and will always be 100 per cent committed to the hard work and endeavour of promotion to the Football League."
