Salford City: Ryan Giggs and ex-Man Utd pros agree takeover



Ryan Giggs and four former Manchester United team-mates have agreed a deal to purchase non-league Salford City.
Giggs, in his 24th season as a player at Old Trafford, is joined in the venture by the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
United player-coach Giggs, 40, said: "We want to use our football experience and knowledge to nurture young talent."

Subject to Football Association and Northern Premier League approval, the deal will be completed in the summer.
Gary Neville, who had his first United trial in Salford, said: "
Salford City represents those early years, the commitment, hunger, enthusiasm, desire and spirit of football and I am very excited about this venture."
The former England defender added on Twitter:  "For clarity, [there will be] no name change, no ground change and management and committee as before!"
His younger brother Phil, now United's first-team coach, added:
"It is important to safeguard the hard work that is done in the lower leagues and it is going to be exciting to be able to feed our experience into the young players."
Giggs, who made his 961st appearance for United in the 3-0 victory over Olympiakos on 19 March,
is the only one still playing of the six United youth-team graduates who have come to be known as the Class of '92.

Along with former England captain David Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Butt and the Neville brothers went on to perform in one of the
most successful periods in the club's history, having made their senior debuts in the early 1990s.
Under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, United won 13 league titles, two Champions League crowns, four FA Cups
and four League Cups with at least one of those six graduates in his squad.
Scholes, who was born in Salford, said:
"We know it will be tough but we will be committed to this from the start and have some very exciting plans going forward."
Salford are 11th in the Northern Premier League Division One North,  the eighth tier of English league football.
Chairman Karen Baird said the agreement would give the club "a very bright future".

Salford City: Class of 92's takeover alongside Peter Lim is approved

The acquisition of non-league Salford City by a group of former Manchester United footballers and their business partner Peter Lim has been approved.

Ex-United quintet Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, who agreed to take over the club in March, will have 50% ownership.

Lim, who has just taken over Valencia, has acquired the other 50% stake.

The Football Association and the Northern Premier League have both ratified the deal.

Salford City are currently third in Division One North of the Northern Premier League, six points behind leaders Darlington 1883 with two games in hand.

They play in the eighth tier of English football, alongside FA Cup giantkillers Warrington Town.

Singapore-based self-made billionaire Lim, 61, is estimated by Forbes to be worth £1.5bn, but withdrew a £320m bid to buy Liverpool in 2010.

When the link-up was announced in September, the Neville brothers, Giggs, Scholes and Butt said they have known Lim for more than 10 years, and expect "exciting times" for the club.
