I never understood why Neville didn’t want to invest in Bury the Town where he was born and a club with history and in desperate need of funding.

Honestly, I have no idea why Beckham/Neville would want to invest so much time & energy in to a project like Salford. We've all got an opinion on the US investment in Wrexham...but you can at least argue that there's a community there and that they're building something that the local area can rally around. Not so with Salford - which can never have it's own catchment even. It's pure vanity. Pointless FC.
100000% this. |

Because they were more of a basket case than we ever have been and that would basically throwing your money into a bottomless pit. |

I was thinking if they got things right it could be a decent little club again like it used to be many years ago.

When Bury went bust 5 years ago they owed £15m which is far more than even Neville could easily afford to waste. Salfords takeover today cost £11m and that was between him and Beckham. Neville is wealthy but not financially stupid. |

They'll knock Oxford into the 2nd smallest Championship side ever slot.

Pretty sure Yeovil and Wycombe may have something to say about that! |

Burton & Scunthorpe too.
Scunny being in the second tier is pretty wild to remember.

I watched Scunthorpe vs Banbury the season before last in NLN They had a budget of £1.2m and had Jacob Butterfield playing for them and he was on 3k a week! |

BE interesting to see what happens at Salford in the summer, if with their new investment they try and do a Wrexham and pump money in to get out of L2 or carry on as they have been.
L2 next season looks weaker, there is not 1 side you would say that they will be the ones to beats, those in the PO's don't looks strong, of them if they don't go up Notts have been consistent last few seasons, and then you would expect Walsall to be strong, along with franchise, and you would have thought Gills will get it together, but L2 could be even more open that it was this season - never a better time to get our shit together and give it a go

I see Clems ambition next season is to finish higher than this!
Just sums up this ownership. The fact we have spent the most seasons in the bottom division under them tells you all you need to know
