Good luck Mark, you deserve another shot at League 2 after showing what you could do by performing a miracle at Solihull. Macclesfield have got themselves the right man to keep them in The Football League. Doubters beware.
I hope Mr Yates gets a good reception at Whaddon Road, I feel he deserves respect.

I genuinely believe the only person who thinks he won't get an all round good reception is Robin. I've not seen or heard anyone else say anything negative about Yates since he left, with most Cheltenham fans I know openly applauding his efforts at Solihull.

Do they dislike him enough to give him a bad reception?Robin wrote:From experience it's mixed Si, some people like him, others don't and I don't believe I'm being biased in saying that.
He became a liability here and he should have walked, we also should have said goodbye when his contract expired but instead we bottled it and offered him a new one year deal, I personally would have said goodbye after the Tamworth debacle but that's history now.
I think Macclesfield have made an interesting move here, his player recruitment was very good here and some of the football on show was very good but there were far too many off days in his time here, too many defeats away from home where the opposition didn't have to get out of second gear, too slow to change tactics when it wasn't going our way, odd team selections/formations etc, Cheltenham Town managers had a smooth ride under Baker and he got quite lucky imo that we didn't get rid of him sooner but that said he's passionate, has good contacts and players seem to get on with him so it will be interesting.
I personally think he will keep them up, they are in a good location to attract players from other clubs (loan players from Prem clubs in particular like Accrington seem to use) and they've just been promoted so a good buzz around the place. Wages will be their stumbling block to get who they want though.

He ran out of steam here but why anyone would not appreciate his playing efforts and give him a good reception is bonkers.
Give him a cheer Robin.

Couldn't agree more.
A stalwart as a player and did a good job as a manager for us. If memory serves me, he was starved of finance, the summer before he was replaced(?). Yet, still nothing to say he couldn't have kept us up and then got rid of the toxic few in the summer and rebuilt. Seems to have been the norm of late.
Fail to see how anyone could fail to have respect for what he has done for CTFC over many years

Correct - he joined the season we won the Conference in 1998/99.Artemis wrote:Howarth is a former Macclesfield player and captain. I believe we signed him from them.
Yates and Howarth both signed for us within a few weeks of each other, Cotts went for the winners to get us over the line.
