Man City Brief Summary
Manchester City F.C. Crest
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.
But supporters are extremely hopeful that the Blues will break into the Premier League’s top four in the 2009-10 season.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
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.
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).
Bolton FC Info
Bolton Wanderers FC Crest
The Wanderers hold a unique spot in English football history as they are one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888. In the early decades of the Football League, the Wanderers were up and down between the first and second tier of the league. The 1920s ushered in a long era of prosperity for the Wanderers as they won the FA Cup three times during the decade, in 1923, 1926, and 1929. Building off their cup triumphs in the 20s, Bolton began a 29 year run in which they never fell from the top flight of English football, lasting from 1935-1964.
Bolton Wanderers begin quest for first major trophy in 51 years. On August 15 Bolton Wanderers Football Club will start off the new Barclay’s Premier League season by hosting Sunderland AFC at Reebok Stadium. The Wanderers’ will be looking to erase a 51 year drought that has seen them fail to bring home any major trophy. A member of the Premier League since 2001, Bolton will be trying to cement their position in the Premier League and improve upon their standing from the past two seasons.
The club peaked in the 1950s, when they won the FA Cup for a fourth time in 1958. That was the last time Bolton brought home a major trophy, and from that point the club began a slow decline that saw them exit the top flight. The Wanderers bottomed out in 1987 when they were relegated to the fourth division of English football for the first time in club history. Since that point however, Bolton FC has been on a trek back to the top of football, something they achieved in 1995.
Bolton FC Manager
On October 25, 2007 Bolton FC introduced Gary Megson as their new manager. Megson was tasked with keeping the Wanderers in the top flight, a standing that had become precarious in the past few seasons. Megson was a defensive midfielder in his playing days, bouncing between 9 different teams in his 18 year career. His managerial career has spanned 17 years and 7 clubs. Megson’s most successful stint prior to Bolton was with West Bromwich Albion where he twice led them to promotion into the Premier League.
Bolton FC has a long tradition in English football that dates back 135 years. The club was founded in 1874 by Reverend Jon Farrall Wright as Christ Church FC. Three years later however, the club was renamed as Bolton Wanderers FC. The name Wanderers came from the team’s lack of a home field in their early days. It was not until 1881 that Bolton settled at one home ground. Prior to this date they played their home games on several different pitches.
Bolton Wanderers Stadium
Bolton FC spent the better part of their early existence “wandering” from pitch to pitch for home games, lacking a true ground to call their own. In 1881 the team found a suitable ground, but remained there for only 14 years. From 1895 until the early 1990s they made their home at Burnden Park. In the early 90s, with Premier League ambitions and a deteriorating stadium, the decision was made to build a new park. Construction on Reebok Stadium began in 1995 and was completed in time for the 1997-98 season. Reebok Stadium seats 28,723 and was named after the club’s longtime sponsor. The decision to give the stadium a corporate name angered many of the fans who saw it as further proof that finances and not football were becoming more important in England. Fans have since warmed up to the stadium name, due in part to Reebok having its roots in the area.
