Manchester City F.C. Info

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Summary

Wolverhampton Wanderers Manager

Mick McCarthy was brought on as manager of the Wolves in 2006 and has propelled the club to the Premier League.

Wolverhampton is the third club McCarthy has managed. His first was Midwall, where he managed from 1992-1996. McCarthy led the Lions to a third place finish on 1993-94, and though the club was 14 points clear of the relegation zone in 1996, he left the club for the Republic of Ireland manager vacancy.

McCarthy guided Ireland to the 2002 World Cup finals, but a clash with ManU midfielder Roy Keane created bad press. The fallout was enough that McCarthy walked in October of the same year, despite propelling Ireland from a Aworld rank of 54 to as high as 13.

After Ireland, McCarthy managed Sunderland and in three short years took the Black Cats from relegation back to the Premier League. The year in Premiership was tough, and with little money to improve his club, McCarthy was sacked with just 10 games remaining.

Now Mick McCarthy has managed the Wolves to the Premier League and has the tools to stay there, with the signing of current striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake through 2013, as well as signing of Reading star Kevin Doyle.

The Wanderers are an old club, founded in 1877 by a pair of students attending St. Luke’s school before becoming the Wolverhampton Wanderers two years later. In 1888 the club was one of twelve that formed the English Football League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Stadium

Molineux Stadium has been home to The Wolves since 1889, when it was rented to the club by a local merchant name Benjamin Molineux. The first league game hosted 4,000 people; fifty-years later the record for attendance was set when 61,315 people watched The Wanderers beat Liverpool 3-1.

The Wolves installed lights in the stadium in 1953, the first club to do so, and that summer Wolverhampton played games against foreign clubs called "floodlight friendlies." Hungary had been embarrassing England in recent World Cup play, so when a Hungarian club visited Molineux for a match under the lights, The Wolves made the most of it and won, prompting manager Stan Cullis to anoint his club "Champions of the World."

In the early 1990’s, Molineux Stadium underwent redevelopment. Neglect and financial difficulties of the previous decade resulted in three sides of the stadium decaying and inaccessible. Today, the grounds have a capacity of 29,000 and there is talk of expanding the stadium to seat 40,000, dependent on the club’s ability to stay in the Premier League.

A once-proud club has made a return to prominence with a new manager and promotion to the Premier League for 2009-10.

The most dismal period in the history of the Wolverhampton Wanderers began in the early 1980’s. Serious financial difficulties almost resulted in the club’s extinction. The Wolves endured three consecutive relegation’s, sliding into the lowest tier – an embarrassing first in club history. For nineteen years The Wolves played in the lower tiers, emerging into the Premier League just one season before being relegated.

Stan Cullis, himself a former Wanderer, became manager in 1947. For the first time in forty years, the club earned its first major honor with an FA Cup Final victory. Wolverhampton went on to be the top club of the 1950’s, winning titles in 1953-54, 1957-58 and 1958-59.

On 18 April, 2009, The Wanderers were promoted to the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Queens Park and clinched their first divisional title in twenty years the next week.
