Sacking a manager is something I never, ever thought I would have to do.
But last Saturday evening, after the bitter disappointment of Macclesfield's FA Trophy defeat against Guiseley, I called Danny Whitaker into the boardroom and broke the news to him. Without a doubt, it is the worst feeling I have ever experienced in football.
When you look into the eyes and see the hurt of a club legend who probably deserves a statue for everything he's done at Macclesfield, it's soul-destroying. Danny Whitaker is a lovely bloke and he will always remain part of the Silkmen's heart and soul.
