Salford City Football Club is owned by a consortium led by David Beckham and Gary Neville, alongside several business partners in a members-club style structure.

Key point: who owns Salford City?

  • Former Manchester United teammates David Beckham and Gary Neville are the leading figures in the current Salford City ownership group.
  • The pair front a wider consortium that completed a takeover in May 2025, buying out the remaining “Class of ’92” co-owners as shareholders, though those ex-players still retain roles at the club.

The wider consortium

  • The ownership is structured as a members club of nine shareholders, which, in addition to Beckham and Neville, includes US-based businessman Declan Kelly and Lord Mervyn Davies as key co‑chairs.
  • Other named investors include Dream Sports Group and individuals such as Colin Ryan, Frank Ryan, Nick Woodhouse, and Shravin Mittal, reflecting a mix of sports, finance, and commercial backgrounds.

Quick historical context

  • Salford City was originally taken over in 2014 by the “Class of ’92” group: Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, and Paul Scholes, with Peter Lim as a major investor.
  • David Beckham later joined by buying a 10% stake in 2019, and in 2024 Gary Neville acquired Peter Lim’s stake, paving the way for the 2025 consortium-led structure that now owns the club.
