Macclesfield are currently 22nd in League Two and six points off the relegation zoneThree Macclesfield players have had their contracts terminated after going to the English Football League, BBC Radio Manchester reports. It is currently unclear who the players are or why they wanted to be released. With the contracts cancelled before Friday's transfer deadline, they will be free to find a new club this season. During a tumultuous season, a number of issues have blighted the club, including a strike over unpaid wages and a six-point deduction by the EFL. Both Macclesfield, who are 22nd in League Two and six points above the relegation zone, and the EFL have declined to comment.
