Gary Neville doesn’t “envy” what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have achieved at Wrexham.
The Sky Sports pundit and his former Manchester United teammate David Beckham recently bought out other members of the Class of 92 to take their ownership of Salford City to a new consortium, and while their club secured four promotions in five years since they first took over in 2004, they have remained in League Two for the last six seasons.
And while Salford have been leapfrogged by Wrexham, who are now in League One following successive promotions, Gary isn’t paying too much attention because he’s focused on his own side.
He told FourFourTwo magazine: “No, I don’t wish I was any other football club, I don’t work or operate like that.
“With new owners, we’ve got a plan whereby in four to five years, I’d like to think Salford would be more successful on the pitch. That’s the hope.
“We will also have invested in our training ground and stadium, and be in a position whereby we can achieve sustainability.
“That’s the real drive of this ownership, to grow revenues, be successful on the pitch, become sustainable and ensure we still meet those values of being affordable and accessible that we had from day one.”
Gary admitted the plans are ambitious.
He said: “There’s a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it all in, but we’re committed and that’s the most important thing.”
