Conditions ‘really tough' for running UK businesses, says Gary Neville
Former footballer and entrepreneur Gary Neville has said conditions are 'really tough' for UK businesses in the face of surging costs and tight margins. The former England and Manchester United player has built up a business empire including commercial properties, hotels and media companies since retiring. Advertisement On Tuesday, Mr Neville was also appointed brand ambassador of business software firm Sage as it launched a new long-term partnership with the English Football League (EFL). Gary Neville stressed the importance of successful football teams to local economies (Sage/PA) He told the PA news agency that there are 'huge opportunities' for how football clubs and businesses can join forces to help drive growth in regions across the UK. Mr Neville said: 'The impact of having Football League clubs, and those crowds and attendance, is massive for the local economy and businesses. And not just in terms of actual financial terms but in terms of the spirit of a city and a town too. 'A successful football club and a football club that's thriving can definitely have a big impact on small businesses in the surrounding town or city. Advertisement 'Local businesses thrive upon those local match days, and the successful team having more matches at home so they can make more money, because it's bloody hard work to make money for local businesses, and they need supporting on a regular basis.' Nevertheless, he stressed that it was a 'challenging' time to run a business in the UK after sharp recent cost increases and pressure on consumer demand. The Sky Sports pundit runs a raft of businesses including League Two club Salford City, which he owns as part of a group including David Beckham and US businessman Declan Kelly. 'It's tough. It's really, really tough because cost of products gone up, cost of everything, utilities, rents, everything, has gone up,' Mr Neville said. Advertisement 'It is challenging at this moment in time – there are certain sectors where it's tough to operate, just purely because of rising costs and people finding it tough to be able to find the money to go and support those local businesses.' His work with Sage comes as the firm becomes the official accounting software partner for the EFL. The group has launched a new UK campaign to champion local businesses, with fans across all 72 EFL clubs invited to nominate the matchday heroes in their community. Steve Hare, chief executive of Sage, said: 'We've been supporting British small businesses since we were founded, including many football clubs up and down the country. Advertisement 'It's fantastic to bring all of this together in support of the small businesses that power the football experience week in, week out.' Mr Neville added: 'I've seen it from my time as a player and now as an owner, just how vital these businesses are. I'm proud to join Sage in celebrating their contribution and helping them thrive.'

Director Harvey focuses on Wrexham AFC transfer 'model'
The Reds have enjoyed a meteoric rise over recent seasons, with back-to-back-to-back promotions taking Phil Parkinson's side from the National League all the way up to the Championship. Now just one step below the top flight, Wrexham fans can really dream about seeing their team play in the Premier League. Speaking on his FozCast programme, ex-Reds' keeper Ben Foster touched on this rise through the divisions and Wrexham soon having to think about the 'eye-watering' nature and potential 'jeopardy' of Premier League transfers. Club director Harvey said: 'I think we're there now, in truth. 'I don't think we have to wait for the Premier League. Our model's always been we wanted to sign players that were at least used to playing one division higher than that we were playing in. 'Now, if we're going to do that now, we're signing players who are Premier League quality. They want Premier League wages now. 'We've actually probably sub-divided the Championship into top end and bottom end, and even if you're looking at signing players from the top end of the Championship to come and help you on your journey, they're earning fortunes more. 'Our wage bill now, a month, will be more than we paid for the whole time we were in the National League, probably. 'Now, obviously, income's gone up as well, so it's not just a one-way street. 'But, the actual real mechanic is fascinating.' It's been a busy summer already for Wrexham, ahead of sampling action in the second tier for the first time in more than four decades. Midfielder Lewis O'Brien is the latest acquisition, making the move from top flight Nottingham Forest, while Wrexham have also signed Ryan Hardie, Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, George Thomason and Josh Windass. Wrexham kick-off their Championship campaign at Southampton, relegated from the Premier League, on Saturday, August 9.
