Gary Neville has quit as chief executive of Salford CityCredit: PA Neville, 47, has acted as Salford CEO since buying the club eight years ago alongside Butt, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Peter Lim and brother Phil. But with Neville splitting his time between Salford, Sky Sports and his property work, he feels he is unable to give the club the attention it needs. He said in a statement: "As the club has developed with such pace it needs someone who can concentrate on the club and be there every day, and Nicky is the ideal candidate to do this. 'I have enjoyed my eight years and can't believe how much we have achieved in that time, and how proud I am of the hard work everyone at the club has put in to make a dream we had whilst on a train, turn into a reality. 'I will now be able to sit back and enjoy the game on match days safe in the knowledge that it is in good hands. "I'd like to thank Peter Lim and the other lads for everything they've done, all the staff, on and off the pitch, that I have worked with for your commitment and dedication and the fans who have been with us from the beginning."
