" Salford City heading to the EFL "

Salford promoted to League Two


UPDATED


Salford City are 1-0 up against AFC Fylde at half time in the play-off final at Wembley, with the winners being prooted toLeague Two.

Neither club have ever been in the EFL.

Salford City are famously owned by former members of "the class of 92" - including Wales manager Ryan Giggs, Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville and David Beckham.

It's now 3-0.

Salford are heading to the EFL.

They did very well today and deserved winners, so congratulations to the ManUfactured club

The FAW probably bracing themselves for a Giggs approach; but would let him go if the moolah was right!

What a shame - ex Man Ure plaything! ( Paid £4k a week to a striker whilst playing in the National League ).Shame one of the old school teams didn't get back in ( along with Leyton Orient ).

Away days to Salford next season, fan warning locking wheel nuts a must along with stab vest

Kind of lucky Scholes was sacked/left Oldham this season as that could have been awkward. Surely there would be a conflict of interest if he was still manager.
Does this mean none of the owners can now manage in the English football league ?

No they just wouldn’t be able to do any transfers between Salford and whoever they manage.

Can you really see those serial winners throwing any games in any case?

The oldest Football League side in the world!

So what happens if Scholes was still manager of Oldham, its last week of the season and Salford are playing Oldham away. Salford need a point to stay up, Scholes would lose money if they go down ?

Bit of a conflict of interest , you cant manage a team in a league and be owner of a rival.

It's not just about transfers

You really think scholes would lose a lot of money if Salford City got relegated

You do realise Peter Lim owns most of that club don’t you. I doubt Paul Scholes even owns 10% of it.

Wouldn’t make any difference to any of them.

It doesn't matter it would be a conflict of interest and is not allowed.

Well done Salford

It is allowed that’s why he was allowed to be manager it happend the football league agreed to it.

Salford City Football Club is delighted that Paul Scholes has accepted the role of Football Manager at Oldham Athletic AFC,” it read.

“Although Paul was never operational in Salford City he will resign as a director of the football club, allowing him to focus completely on his new role at Oldham.

“From the start we have always said that each of the Class of ’92 would offer different levels of commitment dependant on their individual roles. Salford City is a long term interest for the Co92 and Paul will retain his 10% shareholding in the Club.


Oldham Athletic have appointed former England and Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes as their new manager.

The 44-year-old is the permanent successor to Frankie Bunn, who left Boundary Park back in December following a 6-0 defeat to Carlisle.


Scholes takes charge of his boyhood club, who are currently 14th in the League Two standings, on a one-and-a-half year deal.

Initially, there had been concerns that his 10 per cent stake in National League club Salford would prevent him from accepting the Oldham job.

However, following an EFL meeting on Friday, the 11-time Premier League winners was given the green light.

He actually owns exactly 10% of it.
