Club sends out distress signal to Brian Horton who is famous for breathing new life into dead duck. Horton rides into town on white charger to take post and suddenly team that couldn't win a match to save its life picks up seven vital points from three games.
A couple of weeks later, Oxford United are sent packing from the Moss Rose and the job is completed. Macclesfield have secured their Football League status.
Mission Impossible accomplished? Nah. Just another day in the office for Brian Horton.
HORTON'S FIVE-WEEK RATING: 9
Have your say.

Good luck, Brian. As a City fan (sorry to encroach on your site, Silkmen) I have very fond memories of your time with us. There was genuine diappointment when you were dismissed, as many felt that you had the measure of the job.
Great appointment, Macc & good luck for next season. I'll be watching with interest.
