I’ve got to say I’m really surprised. He’s put everything, including his own money into reviving Macclesfield and achieving 3 promotions in 4 seasons, including breaking the points and goals for records. I thought he’d try and get them back into the FL.
But he’s jumped ship to team up with Mark Bowen at FGR, of course with the ever controversial Dale Vince.
I think they be favourites for the National League now, with lots of high scoring games.
I've always had a soft spot for FGR.
The clips of Macclesfield playing when he was manager was very good quality, considering the league they were in.
FGR certainly have the most bucolic of settings for their home games.Quote:

Can’t see Vince and Savage clashing at all
After the superb job he’s done, they head hunted him.Quote:
