Macclesfield can look forward to joining Chesterfield in non-league next season. No money, Askey gone to Shrewsbury, lost most of their team except Danny Whitaker, teetered along the edge of a financial cliff all last season, and now they've got Mark Yates whose pudding sounds as though is being somewhat over-egged taking over in a pretty impossible position.

He seems a decent bloke who was a whole-hearted player, but he's a good bet for the sack as are Silkmen for a very quick return to the wilderness.
