...appoint Tim Flowers as Manager.

It's an old saying but a true one. "There's a mug born every minute"

[CRT Butty]

Anybody got Charlie Cairolis number? There's a clown escaped.

[Hugh]

"a mug born every minute" - exactly what I was thinking! All they need is a team now... though I find it hard to believe they will start next season in the national premier.

[Hale Alty]

give it a year or two and they'll be playing in the FA Vase.

[Saughall Robin]

There's got to be a bit of "brown envelopes at dawn" going on here.
Surely, after what went on with the players and the last few managers (including Sol Campbell, who's still sueing them for unpaid wages) he's demanded (and got) a bit of a wedge up front from the secretive owner or his representatives?
If not, he's a very very foolish and gullible man indeed.

Would hate to see Macc go under,they have always been good rivals

[AltyFan101]

On Twitter there seem to be a lot of Macc fans that are going to be refusing to go to home games until their owner has cleared off.  I do hope they don't go under, Northwich first and then Macc and we'd have lost our two biggest rivals in the space of a decade nearly.

I'm genuinely in two minds if I'm honest.
After over half a century despising them, and feeling the sharp end of their bitter mockery and hatred for everything Alty, one part of me wishes they go the same way as the Green g*ts.
The other side of me hopes they pull through and become a rival we can meet and beat consistently ; finishing higher than them in the league until Parky takes us up to the promised land of league 2.

PS. I know it's spiteful but winning promotion at moss rose with an injury time flukey og would be the icing on the cake! 😉

PPS. Sorry my sympathy is severely limited.

[CRT Butty]

Loathsome club.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Personally, I'd like to quickly reach a point where we consider Stockport as our natural rivals, then before too long, Oldham, Bolton, and Rochdale.

Macclesfield should simply be swatted away like an irritating fly.

[Saughall Robin]

I can remember when it used to be Wigan! The way they're going, it could be again soon! 😉

[Hale Alty]

it was having lots of local games to go to that brought me back to watching Altrincham twenty-five years ago. Then we had Northwich, Stalybridge, Runcorn and Macclesfield all in the Conference.

I thought it was a shame Northwich went bust and I wouldn't want to see Macc the same way. You can't beat your rivals if they don't exist.

[Hugh]

Wigan?  What about Mossley? We drew at Tottenham and they still beat us to the title. They must have been some team that season! And then for some obscure reaon they didn't go into the Alliance Premier. They got to the Trophy final around that time aswell didn't they? Some achievement for a small town.

They didn't get into the Alliance because Seel Park didn't meet the required standard.
