About Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City F.C. Crest
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
In addition, Hughes is seeking to sign centre back Everton’s Joleon Lescott to bolster the defense.
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.
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.
City also has won four FA Cups (1904, 1934, 1956, 1969) and two League Cups (1970, 1976).
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.
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
But supporters are extremely hopeful that the Blues will break into the Premier League’s top four in the 2009-10 season.
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).

Martin O’Neill brings a record of 54-45-39 into his fourth season at Aston Villa.
O’Neill, who became a coach in 1987, has a career winning percentage of more than 53 percent. He joined Villa in August 2006 after caring for his wife, who was seriously ill, for more than one year.
Prior to Villa, O’Neill had highly a successful stint at Celtic. In five seasons (2000-01 to 2004-05), Celtic won six major Scotland championships, including three of the Premier League.
In his excellent playing career as a midfielder, O’Neill helped Nottingham Forest win European Cup championships in 1979 and 1980. His 64 international appearances for Northern Ireland included being captain of the team that competed in the 1982 World Cup Final.
From 1888-89 through 1914-15, Villa won four more FA Cups (1895, 1897, 1905, 1913). In all of those seasons, Villa played in the First Division and won six championships (1894, 1896, 1897, 1899, 1900, 1910).
On May 26, 1982, Villa won the European Cup by defeating Bayern Munich, 1-0, in Rotterdam, Holland. Peter Withe scored the goal.
McGregor was the force behind the creation of the Football League for the 1888-89 season. He later became president and chairman of the Football League and chairman of the FA.
Villa earned the bulk of its domestic silverware in a "golden age" — 1887 through the 1914-15 season, after which football was suspended due to World War I.

William McGregor and George Ramsey also are legendary Villans.
Villa’s haul of domestic trophies includes seven FA Cups and seven First Division championships. The crowing achievement was winning the European Cup in 1982.
The Villans have been in the top flight for 61 of those 74 seasons. They won two additional FA Cups (1920, 1957), one additional First Division championship (1981), five League Cups (1961, 1975, 1977, 1994, 1996), one InterToto Cup (2001), one European Super Cup (1983) and one European Cup (1982).
From 1919-20 through 2008-09, Villa usually has fielded a competitive side. But silverware has not been as plentiful.
Led by forward Archie Hunter, Villa won its first FA Cup in 1887.
Since the creation of the Football League, Aston Villa has spent 88 of 101 seasons in England’s top flight.
Villa is one of four England teams to win what is now known as the UEFA Champions League.
