Macclesfield Town would have finished third from bottom of League Two on a points-per-game basis were it not for the deduction of 13 pointsMacclesfield chairman Amar Alkadhi has stepped down from his position with the League Two club with immediate effect. Alkadhi will remain as the club's majority shareholder but is committed to selling his stake in the Silkmen. A "senior management team" will oversee all financial and operational decisions while a replacement is found. Alkadhi's departure comes as the English Football League are appealing against sanctions imposed on Macclesfield which left them one point and a place above relegated side Stevenage. The EFL's appeal is set to take place on 11 August, just over a month before the 2020-21 English Football League season is due to kick off.
