Macclesfield were always likely to struggle regardless of who their manager is. Although they won the title by a ten-point margin, they only scored 67 goals. History shows that clubs promoted to the Football League score on average 24 goals fewer than they scored in the National League (Fleetwood hold the record with 47 fewer), so the one thing you need to do is sign at least one proven L2 striker if you are to survive. Macclesfield had an urgent need to do so but did not - probably because they have next to no budget. Nailed on for relegation - who will take that job?
