No Lights, Camera, Millions!…
Hold onto your football scarves, folks! The iconic duo, Gary Neville and David Beckham, fresh off the pitch and into the boardroom, are rewriting the script – but not in Hollywood style. After snagging Salford City, Neville has decided not to follow the path of the glitzy Wrexham owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Those two are cruising up the English pyramid like a rocket-powered football! But Neville’s not about to turn Salford into a blockbuster saga – no sir!
Instead, he’s opting for a slow-cooked football pie, with sprinkles of steady investment over the next few years. The ex-Red Devils’ crew, including kicking legends like Scholes and Giggs, are sticking around but in a quieter midfield role. No record-shattering transfers or cash avalanches here! It’s more conveyor belt than red carpet in Salford, avoiding the high-speed express ride to the Championship that Wrexham took.
Neville, along with Beckham, wants to nurture the club like a farmer tending to a humble apple tree. “We aren’t planting money trees,” said Neville, winking like a cheeky post-match analysis. “We aim to grow a football club from the grassroots, starting with a handful of loyal fans.” So while Wrexham movies it up, Salford’s staying a good, old-fashioned footie flick, packed with drama and heaps of heart!
