Manchester City is a football club based in Manchester, England. Manchester was found in 1880 and then they were called Ardwick Association but in 1884 the were given the name Manchester city. Manchester city are in the premier league and their stadium is Etihad Campus.
Club History
The club had a successful period in 1968 until 1970, when they won the League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup, under manager Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. In 1981 when they lost an FA Cup Final, the club went through a hard period, that ended in relegation to the third league of English football for the first time in the clubs history in 1998. They got themselves back in to the Premier League in early 2000s. In 2008 the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group for £210 million. In 2011, the club started winning titles and have won five major titles since then, including winning the Premier League in 2012 and 2014.
By 2016–17, Manchester City had the fifth-highest income of all the teams in the footballing world with an annual income of €527.7 million. In 2017, Forbes magazine told they were the fifth-most valuable football club in the world, worth over 2 billion US dollars. Club owner Sheikh Mansour has a net worth around 15 billion dollars so you can say the club is in good hands financially.
The team now has players like Kevin De Bruyne who many say is the best midfielder in the world right now, Kun Agüero on of the best strikers in the premier league and Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus who have the potential to become the best. And last but not least David Silva who has been with the club for many years now and has played a part in many titles since he got there. Many speculate if they are good enough to win the champions league, but most are certain they have already won the premier league this season. My opinion is that this team is the best playing team I have seen in the premier league these past years.
