Neville urging fans of EFL clubs to back local small businesses

Neville has teamed up with Sage, Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL, on a new UK-wide campaign to champion local businesses, with fans across all 72 EFL clubs invited to nominate the matchday heroes in their community. Three winning businesses will have the chance to win bespoke club partnerships with the aim to gain exposure and drive growth. Additional finalists will receive business grants from Sage and promotional opportunities at EFL matches. 'Local businesses thrive on matchdays,' Neville said. 'Small businesses know how important football clubs are and clubs know fans need hospitality and service on those days. They need the local businesses to still be there to support the fanbase. 'A football club can never forget where it has come from, that is one of my constant messages. It needs to be the beating heart of a community and sit there to help people, support people, be the release, the energy, the life, the laugh. 'There are very few things in life that make your veins pop out like when your team score a goal or make you as angry as when your team lose. 'That emotion and feeling is absolutely critical.' Neville, who represented Manchester United on 602 occasions between 1992 and 2011, has since turned his hand to various entrepreneurial enterprises alongside his award-winning punditry with Sky Sports. He co-owns League Two outfit Salford City with some of his 'Class of 92' teammates and has a lifelong insight into how crucial football clubs are to their surrounding small businesses, and vice-versa. 'Growing up in Bury, being an owner of Salford and supporting (Manchester) United, I have seen the importance of football to local towns, cities, communities and local businesses at all levels,' he said. 'Manchester United not being in Europe this year has a massive impact on the city of Manchester. Manchester United doing well and City doing well has a huge impact on the city. It's the same with Salford, the same with Bury. 'Football clubs are not just important economically, they are important for the spirit in the city, the feeling of energy. 'That can largely be defined sometimes by how the football team is doing. It has such an impact on the local community.' The 85-cap England international is working with Sage to spotlight the vital role of small businesses in the EFL ecosystem, a partnership he is delighted to be a part of. 'It's hard work setting up a small business,' he added. 'Everyone does it with great enthusiasm and passion, I've done it myself here in Manchester, but you need systems, you need processes, I call it a defence. 'The nuts and bolts is making sure your defence is looked after and you're not conceding goals. 'Small businesses need that more than ever in what is a challenging time to operate and Sage do great work helping with that.' Gary Neville is encouraging fans to celebrate the businesses behind the badge on behalf of Sage, the Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL.

Buoyant Birmingham feel 'very together'

Birmingham City midfielder Tommy Doyle said the club feels "very much together" in preparation for its return to the Championship after last season's record-breaking promotion from League 23-year-old, who joined Blues on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one of seven new players brought in by boss Chris Davies as the club attempts to build on the momentum of their title-winning campaign in the third tier."I feel like this club is very together," Doyle told BBC Radio WM."You can feel that from the fans, to the manager, the players and the owners, and it's going to take everybody to get us to where we need to get to."We're feeling good at the moment. We've got all the foundations to do that, so it's up to us to go out and make it happen."Doyle, who joined Wolves a year ago from Manchester City, said the way Davies gets his team to play - including attacking midfielders playing in the 'number 10' role - was a big part of him wanting to come to Blues."You have to look at a team that suits you," Doyle added."When I spoke to the gaffer in the summer, he told me what he wanted from me and where he sees me - I enjoyed that conversation."But now is the time to go out and do the work - and I'm just ready to go."
