David Beckham bought 10% of Salford City, increasing the percentage of 'Class of' 92 'that now commands, to 60%. But who is the team that wins from the glamor of Manchester United? Salford is another municipality in the greater Manchester area with 245.600 registered residents. It is bordered on the north by Bolton and Berry, on the south by Trafford, on the west by Wigan and on the east by the metropolis of Manchester.
Salford is another municipality in the greater Manchester area with 245.600 registered residents. It is bordered on the north by Bolton and Berry, on the south by Trafford, on the west by Wigan and on the east by the metropolis of Manchester. The geography lesson is enough. Let's go to our seats. The reason we are preoccupied with an English suburb.
The Salford City, you say, is the local football team. A team founded by 1940 and up until the beginning of the 90s I had not even participated in the English Cup. A group of local clubs that no one would have dealt with had Manchester United's veteran footballers not become co-owners.
Five years ago, in March 5, the closed party of the Neville brothers (Gary, Phil), Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs decided to invest in this football club. The sale proceeded at a rapid pace and each of them became the owner of 2014% of its shares. Aside from the fact that 'Old Trafford', where they all 'grew up' in football, borders Salford, Scholes was born there, while Neville and Butt are children of the area, from Berry and Gordon respectively. It was not difficult to persuade Ryan Giggs, and the idea of turning them into agents was realized within a few months.
The five of them had thought of everything. In fact, in six months they found a man to invest even more money than they were willing to invest, giving - for an equal price - 10% of their share to Peter Lim. The businessman-investor from Singapore, who had already been the owner of Valencia since May of that year, at a rate of 70%.
Thanks to the successful college, Salford City, a team without distinctions, began to 'swallow' the accusations. The long-term goal was to be in the Championship after 15 years. However, in the first four years, the team has won three races (losing one in a draw) and is now fighting for a fourth, from the National League to League Two - from the fifth to the fourth division in English football.
Salford is in third place after 30 races, -1 from the top offering direct rise and + 9 from 8 (excluding playoffs). Which means that at the worst they will claim the ticket through a barrage of races.
It became known on Wednesday that another member of the 'Class of 92' was involved with Salford. David Beckham (originally from London), already the owner of the newly formed Miami Inter, which has secured a place in the MLS championship since 2020, bought 10% of Peter Lim's shares and became an equal member of the other 5. Given that The company of Manchester now owns 60% of the shares, it is in charge.
"I feel proud to be with these people. I spent my first years at Manchester United at Salford, growing up there, so the fact that I'm finding my friends again is a unique feeling. The team has achieved so much in such a short time, the fans are fantastic and I am very excited to spend more time at Salford again."He said.
The other five co-authored a welcome text for Beckham, explaining why he was late in joining the stock market. “We wanted him with us from the beginning, but the conditions weren't allowed. Now was the time", They argued, however, clarifying that"nothing will change in everyday life".
However, the day is not far off, possibly in 5-6 years, when Salford will face Manchester United. Then the 6 of them, if they continue together, will be called upon to decide which camp they belong to.
