Since his retirement from playing, Gary Neville has moved into punditry and business, and recently appeared on Dragons' DenGary Neville has bought fellow co-owner Peter Lim's stake in Salford City to "pave the way for a new strategic partner", the League Two club has said.
After the takeover, Salford won four promotions in five seasons and reached the English Football League in 2019."Peter's support has allowed us to become an established League Two club with a unique ownership," Butt, who is now the club's chief executive officer, added. The club reached the League Two play-offs in 2023, but were defeated by Stockport County in the semi-finals after Salford's best finish, seventh place, since joining the EFL.
