Those owners, Neville and Beckham, have transformed the club’s fortunes since an initial takeover with fellow former Manchester United ‘Class of 92’ members Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Phil Neville, in 2014.
Neville and Beckham have since taken control of the club, yet the impact of the rest of the group still remains with the other four still involved in other roles.
“People don’t see, for instance, playing Colchester away last season and Ryan’s baby was due on the Saturday or Sunday morning. But Ryan got this car and drove all the way up because he’s on the bench for the game,” Robinson said of Giggs.
“When I first came here, the amount of work Nicky was putting in, the amount of meetings he had in a day, he was everywhere.
“And then you look at Paul, since the summer, he’s been ever present nearly every single day at the training ground. He’s been everywhere, and he sits there really, really happy and looking forward to it.”
Salford’s closest run at promotion to League One came three years ago when they were knocked out of the play-offs at the semi-final stage by Stockport County.
Having won four promotions in five seasons under the Class of 92 until 2019, it has been a long seven years since their last.
Yet despite the weight of expectation, Robinson said he has not felt pressured by the ownership group to deliver promotion.
“Gary’s messages have never changed. If everything’s brilliant, nothing. If everything’s terrible, nothing,” he said.
“It’s been so consistent all the way through my whole time here. So they mean quite a lot to me, trying to get this done.”
