Players' wages not paid on time for March
Macclesfield Town have failed to pay players their wages for March, BBC Radio Manchester reports.
It is the fifth time this season that the League Two club have failed to pay their squad on the date wages were due.
The club were last month charged with misconduct by the English Football League for not paying players on time.
And last week a winding-up petition against the club over unpaid debts was postponed until 17 June because of the coronavirus crisis.
The Silkmen have been dogged by financial problems for much of the 2019-20 season.
The club also had a six-point deduction for failing to fulfil their fixture with Crewe in December revised to seven points, but with three of them suspended, after a successful appeal last month.
Meanwhile, the club face a separate misconduct charge after their game with Plymouth Argyle on 21 December was called off at short notice following a local Safety Advisory Group ruling that Macclesfield could not let fans into the game because of safety concerns.
In November, Macclesfield players went on strike in protest over unpaid wages and it led the club to field six youth team players and five loanees in their 4-0 FA Cup first-round defeat by seventh-tier side Kingstonian.
Macclesfield are currently third-bottom of League Two, 10 points above bottom side Stevenage who have a game in hand, but the season has been postponed indefinitely because of coronavirus.

there have been quite a few scare stories about Macclesfield this year.
I wouldn't be surprised if they went under. | |

I agree with you, I think their days are numbered.
There are at least 5 others in a similar situation in divisions 1 and 2. | | | |

Oldam's one club that spring to mind as being in trouble.
There are a few higher up, in the Championship who overspend trying to get to the Prem.
Birmingham for example.
Players wages are crazy.
Of course, they should get well rewarded as it's a short career and as a professional sportsperson, they can't go out partying etc as much as a normal young adult but the amounts they are way too much.
But even at Blackpool. How much do we pay? Would I be far off if I said a bog standard squad player got £2-3K per week. It's a lot of money, a large percentage of BFC's turn over when gates are less than 10,000 as well.
How can we get players' wages down? | |

A maximum ratio of wages from top to bottom say 20 times the lowest. | | | |

It's interesting that Rooney's come out on the subject of players giving a percentage of their salaries to a coronavirus fund.
He's right in as much as they shouldn't be singled out. Their earnings are silly money but the wages on offer aren't their fault and of course, there are plenty of other targets to have a go at.
