I watched a program last night on BBC called Class of 92 out of their league.

Potentially some spoilers. I think this was one of six programs.

I'm not a football guy. I have watched three premier league football matches in my life, all live. Chelsea twice and Tottenham once. So while I know the names of the 5 ex Man United players who have purchased Salford, I only learned last night of their significance.

I was exrealy impressed with this whole program. I found myself rewinding sections to hear exactly what was said and how it was said. I have to say I found the process and hurdles fascinating! The 5 members of the class of 92 seemed to be impressive guys, interesting guys. Not what I expected.

I laughed my head off at the shonky Sky box conversation.

Looking forward to the next one, it's on series link. Could I be a Salford fan?

Anyone else see this? Thoughts?

Thought it was a two parter. Watched a bit and got the whole programme on the box to watch this weekend. Some interesting viewing me thinks
 
It is a 2 part special, thought it was excellent, if you'd like some background to the programme and the 5 footballers there is a Docu/Film called Class of 92 and it gives the actually story of the Class of 92, well worth watching.
 
Went I went to Salford last season they was filming it, I won't expect us to come out in good light next weeks programme as it was widely criticised that the Darlo fans were thugs etc.

Watched last night and thought it was a good program, the manager was well out of his depth and the players seemed to be doing there own thing.

Well tweeting notts county to smash the place up won't help relations either then!
 
Just watched it in BBC Player, really good programme and the Mancs came across as really genuine and wanting the club to progress, despite some suspicion from the locals. Brought back a few memories from when I played, albeit in a few leagues lower!
 
Managed to look past the Manure legends and actually enjoyed it. Non league football doesn't get enough attention and this was a good advert for it.
 
Oh how I laughed when Neville rang scholsey and asked if he fancied playing in the next round of the FA cup. Scholsey said " am a fat so and so".
Dint help when Salford got beat anyway.

Quick lowdown on programme.
1, typical English manager in lower leagues, swears better than most loads of the time, comes with no coaching skills.
2, players that think there better than they are and better than the manager and still at £300 a week are overpaid primadonnas.
3, Still one man and his dog( which runs on pitch) at every ground.

Question though why would Gary Neville get involved with Salford FC when he is the ass manager of England and Sky pundit. As a owner he cannot be giving 100%

Excellent programme 👍

Thought they had bought out the Glazers then until you said English manager - or was it filmed last year :D

Got it on record and think it's good that they are using there wealth into grass roots football
 
Yeah deffo filmed last year, I did not realise that until they went out of the FA cup and I said to Missis T " odd coz they have Notts county on Sky this Friday".
 
Really love this insight, the 5 of them come across really well!

Paul what I really really could not get my head around was the two managers they set on. One of the managers was serving a five game ban for "fighting on the touch line", Against Salford FC of all teams. Now G Neville said " that's the sort of passion we need here".
Eh, if he was commenting on that on sky sports he would want them banned for years.
Thought that was fantastic about Phil Neville pushing for that city reject to get a trial at the rags, when he could not get in the Salford starting 11.
Not gonna spoil the ending.
 
Quite enjoyed that 2 parter on Salford City, great insight into lower league football. Interesting to see how it all develops from then. I'll need to do my own research.
