Silkmen issue new ultimatum to owner

Macclesfield Town FC’s players have issued an ultimatum to owner Amar Alkadhi.

They are understood to have told him that, if they are not paid by 6pm on Monday evening, they will not train on Tuesday and will refuse to play in Saturday’s League Two fixture at home to Crewe.

Silkmen owner Amar Alkadhi told the BBC on Monday morning that arrangements for payments to players had been made. A further update is expected from the League Two club on Monday afternoon.

It is the latest threat in a dispute between the Silkmen and club ownership that has rumbled on for months.

The club were charged with misconduct by the EFL last month after failing to pay their players, and Cheshire Police are investigating the club’s finances.

The club are currently 14th in League Two.
