Macclesfield wound up with debts of £500,000, meanwhile Gareth Bale's proposed transfer is delayed by his reluctance to take a cut in his £600,000 per week wages....
Well yeah, but that's a completely different thing.
If Bale has signed a contract for that much money and they're trying to move him out, he is under absolutely no obligation to say "yeah, ok I'll take less money to go away". If any of us were offered a job that paid half as much as what we're getting now, we'd probably not do it unless there is a compelling reason to do so. The scale of the money involved doesn't matter too much.
Definitely a case to be made about the big football clubs not giving a toss about the little ones - the so-called "solidarity payments" are a joke - but that's something entirely different to a guy who's won 4 Champions Leagues (scoring in two finals) expecting his employers to hold up their end of the bargain.
