Football icon David Beckham acquires another football club in his portfolio.
Revamped Article:
Let's dive into the buzz surrounding fourth-tier English football club, Salford City, as announced on their official site.
Joining forces with David Beckham, his ex-Man Utd pal Gary Neville has secured a slice of this club. According to The Athletic, this power duo spent months hunting down fellow investors.
Recently, Beckham posted pics from his 50th birthday bash, with only one son, Brooklyn, and his missus, Nicola, missing from the festivities. Brooklyn, the eldest of David and Victoria's brood, seemingly pulled a 'megxit' when he tied the knot in the US, causing a rift in the family. As for the birthday boy's social media, Brooklyn and his spouse failed to spill any birthday wishes.
Now, let's talk about the stunning combo of global business titans and sporting masters backing Salford City. This diversified consortium, as seen on the club's site, boasts key partners such as:
- Declan Kelly, the US tycoon who heads Consello, acting as Co-Chair alongside Lord Mervyn Davies.
- Lord Mervyn Davies, a former British banker and LTA chairman, also doubles as the Co-Chair.
- Dream Sports Group, India's sports tech powerhouse.
- Colin Ryan, mastermind behind Clipper Street Capital.
- Frank Ryan, global co-head honcho at DLA Piper.
- Nick Woodhouse, Executive Vice Chairman of Authentic Brands Group.
- Shravin Mittal, founder of Unbound Investments.
This nine-strong group plans on pouring major bucks into enhancing Salford City's team, facilities, and sustainability. The blend of sports fervor and high-level corporate brains aims to elevate Salford City to new footballing peaks.
In short, apart from David Beckham and Gary Neville, other investors include Declan Kelly, Lord Mervyn Davies, Dream Sports Group, Colin Ryan, Frank Ryan, Nick Woodhouse, and Shravin Mittal, among others. Game on, Salford City!
- I, too, am excited about the developments at Salford City following David Beckham's involvement with the club.
- Gary Neville and David Beckham, society stalwarts from Salford, are now part of the European-leagues landscape with their interest in Salford City.
- Although David Beckham turned 50, his son Brooklyn seemed distant, spurring comparisons to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 'megxit'.
- The growing list of investors for Salford City includes not just football legends like Beckham and Neville, but also sporting titans like Dream Sports Group and business magnates like Declan Kelly.
- As Salford City moves up the premier-league ranks, it's the sports, business, and football synergy by this couple and their fellow investors that promises to make them a force to reckon with in the European-leagues.
