Manchester City Manager

For "Sparky" Hughes, 2009-10 is his second season at City after leading Blackburn Rovers for four seasons — 2004-05 to 2007-08 — in the Premier League.

Blackburn’s best season under Hughes was 2005-06. The Rovers finished sixth in the Premier League and competed in the UEFA Cup.

Hughes also led Blackburn to the FA Cup semifinals in 2005 and 2007.

Hughes’ first job as a manager was from 1999 to 2004, leading the national team of his native Wales. He initially worked on a part-time basis while finishing his superb playing career, for which he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.

A centre forward, Hughes played for 16-plus of his 19 seasons — 1983-84 to 2001-02 — in England’s top flight. He is best known for 10 seasons at Manchester United in two stints — 1983-84 to 1985-86 and 1988-89 to 1994-95.

Then in 1970, City won the first of its two League Cups and its only Europe silverware — the European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Manchester City Stadium

What is now City of Manchester Stadium was originally designed as part of Manchester’s failed bid in the early 1990s to host the 2000 Summer Olympics.

The stadium, also known as COMS and Eastlands, was built after Manchester was chosen to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

After the Commonwealth Games, the stadium was reconfigured for football. The track was removed. And the playing surface was lowered to accommodate a third tier of seats, which increased the capacity to 47,726.

The first Manchester City football match in the stadium that counted was a 5-0 UEFA Cup victory over TNS of Wales on August 14, 2003

In addition, Hughes is seeking to sign centre back Everton’s Joleon Lescott to bolster the defense.

City also has won four FA Cups (1904, 1934, 1956, 1969) and two League Cups (1970, 1976).

Four excellent players have been signed in the 2009 summer transfer window – striker Carlos Tevez (from Manchester United), striker Roque Santa Cruz (from Blackburn), striker Emmanuel Adebayor (from Arsenal) and central midfielder Gareth Barry (from Aston Villa).

But supporters are extremely hopeful that the Blues will break into the Premier League’s top four in the 2009-10 season.

It has been a LONG time since the Manchester City Football Club was an elite side. And the stay in the rarified air was short.

Through 2008-09, City has two championships of the top flight (old First Division in 1937-38 and 1967-68) and six of the second (old Second Division in 1898-99, 1902-03, 1909-10, 1927-28, 1946-47, 1965-66).

After finishing 10th in the Premier League in 2008-09, manager Mark Hughes is using the vast wealth of the owner (since September 2008) – the Abu Dhabi United Group — to strengthen the Blues.

For the 1892-93 season, the side — then named Ardwick — was a founding member of the Football League’s old Second Division. The name became Manchester City in 1894.

Of its 106 seasons in the Football League, City has been in the top flight (old First Division, now the Premier League) for 81 and in the second (old Second Division, now the Football League Championship) for 24.

The side was founded as St. Mark’s in 1880. That’s when St. Mark’s Church added football to cricket in its sports program.

City won its second of two championships of England’s top flight – the old First Division – in 1967-68 and its fourth of four FA Cups in 1969.

Fulham Club Overview

The team won a number of amateur trophies in its early days, including the West London Amateur Cup in 1887. Fulham FC turned professional shortly thereafter, joining the second division of the old Southern League in 1898.

The Cottagers fared poorly in their first stint in the top flight, and their third season saw them in last and relegated back to second division, where they remained until promotion saw their most successful season yet, finishing 10th in the first division in 1959-60. The next few decades saw ups and downs, including a stint down in third division a few years later and then again in the early seasons after the creation of the new Premier League, which marked their lowpoint.

The club was founded as an amateur team in 1879 by members of the congregation of the Church of England on Star Road in West Kensington.

After success in the Southern League the team was admitted into the larger Football League in 1907, where they remained and enjoyed success until 1949, saw them promoted to first division, the top flight of English football at the time.

Craven Cottage – Fulham FC Stadium

Fulham FC makes its home at the stadium known as Craven Cottage, one of the oldest English football grounds still in use in the present day. The original building was constructed in 1780 by the nobleman William Craven to serve as a residence and a hunting lodge. The building was lived in by a number of people over its lifetime, which was brought to a close by a fire in 1888. It was left abandoned after it burned, and was not used again for any purpose until Fulham’s early members scouted it out while searching for space in 1894. After two years of work clearing out overgrowth and re-purposing the site, it was made a viable football ground in 1896. A series of renovations and additions lead eventually to the modern incarnation of the field, a still small but well-maintained ground with segmented seating areas arranged in rectangle formation around the pitch. Craven Cottage holds 25,678 at top capacity.

The Fulham team is the oldest professional football team in the British capital, and presently play in the English Premier League, finishing in 7th place in the ‘08-’09 season.

They are also known as the Cottagers after their stadium, Craven Cottage.

Fulham F.C. Manager

Fulham’s current manager is Roy Hodgson, known for leading the Swiss national team to qualify in the 1994 world cup and 1996 European cup, and has previously coached such noteworthy teams as FC Copenhagen, Blackburn Rovers and Inter Milan. Hodgson became Fulham’s manager in December of 2007, and although the team absorbed a number of losses in the initial few months of his tenure a late rally toward the end of the season saw the club escape relegation, and go on to higher standing in the 08-09 season than they had ever previously achieved.

The 1997-98 season was the beginning of a new start for Fulham, and the team steadily gained momentum until at last breaking into the elite ranks of the Premier League in the 2001-02 season, where it has remained since, and seeing its greatest success in the club’s history by finishing close to the top of the Premiership table in ‘08-’09.

Fulham FC is an English football club based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London.

Fulham’s home colours are white and black, and the team crest is a simple black and white shield containing the angular abbreviation FFC.
