The midfielder has claimed that Neville forced him out of the club.
Hulme, 33, insisted that he was told he would never play for the club again as he tried to negotiate his pay-off.
He told the I Had Trials Once podcast: “[I told Neville]’If you tell me there’s a slight chance then I’ll stay;.
“And he was like, ‘There’s no chance you’re not playing for us again’.
“I had a £60,000 contract, so I got my head right, and I’m like ‘, Right, let’s take f*****g £40,000 off the b******s’.
“So I went in and came out with £8,000. That’s all he [Neville] was offering me.”
Hulme went on to claim that Neville and the club explained that they knew his wage and would have been willing to pay him to “sit in the stands”.
He continued: “So I was saying, ‘No I want more’ and he was like, ‘We know what you’re on’ because I signed a s**t contract.

“They were saying to me ‘we know what you’re on. Do you think we are a***d about paying someone £450 a week for you to sit in the stand?’.
“So that was their get out. But at 26, I was coming into my prime, and I did not want to do that.”
Hulme then joked that he went on a trip to Ibiza after leaving Salford.
SunSport have contacted Gary Neville for comment.
Neville joined forces with former Manchester United team-mates Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville to purchase a stake in Salford back in 2014.
They have since helped the club climb up to the football pyramid and into League Two.
Neville recently, though, has taken a step back from his operational role due to his media commitments elsewhere.
The eight-time Premier League winner works as a pundit and co-commentator for Sky Sports alongside his role for Salford.
