New Beckham and Neville consortium buys Salford City

David Beckham and Gary Neville have completed a takeover of Salford City as part of a new consortium, buying out the rest of the Class of '92.

Their former Manchester United team-mates Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville are no longer shareholders as part of the new ownership group, which includes former banker Lord Mervyn Davies and businessman Declan Kelly.

However, the quartet will remain involved with the club in roles "across technical, football, commercial, recruitment and the SCFC foundation".

After the Class of 92's arrival at the club in 2014, Salford won four promotions in five seasons to reach the English Football League in 2019, but have remained in League Two since.

The Ammies finished the 2024-25 League Two campaign in eighth position, missing out on a play-off spot on the final day and ending the season one point outside the top seven.
