The judge said he could see nothing which gave him “any comfort” that the club can pay the debts.
He was overseeing the latest in a series of hearings.
Macclesfield have recently been relegated from the fourth tier of league football into non-league football.
They were relegated after being docked points for breaches of regulations relating to non-payment of wages which dropped them to the bottom of League Two.
