Deal almost done to buy Silkmen

Walsall expect their home game against Macclesfield to go ahead as planned on Saturday after learning that Joe Sealey has agreed a deal in principle to buy Macclesfield Town.

The club had a winding-up order adjourned earlier this month with former manager Sol Campbell and HMRC owed outstanding money, however, it appears Sealey is going through the proof of funds process and hopes a deal can be completed as quickly as possible.

Macclesfield are due to face Walsall at the Banks’s Stadium on Saturday and the Saddlers expect the fixture to go ahead as planned.

A club statement read: “Following a number of queries regarding Saturday’s scheduled home fixture with Macclesfield Town, the club can confirm that we have spoken with the EFL and the message is that the game is going ahead. As such, all planning and preparation will continue as normal.”
