- Club sets sights on promotion under new ownership
- Scholes, Giggs and Butt sell shares in club
Salford City have been taken over by a nine-member consortium headed by Gary Neville and David Beckham, who has stated the ambition is to take the League Two club into the Premier League.
The former Manchester United players were already co-owners but their fellow Class of 92 members Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Phil Neville have sold the respective 10% share they bought, alongside Gary Neville, in March 2014. Peter Lim, who purchased the remaining 50% that September, sold 10% to Beckham in January 2019 and his remaining 40% to Gary Neville last August.
