Manchester City FC Primary Logo

Manchester City entered the Football League in 1899, and won their first major honor with the FA Cup in 1904. It had its first major period of success in the late 1960s, winning the League, FA Cup and League Cup under the management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final, the club went through a period of decline, which eventually saw them relegated as far down as third tier of English football by the end of the 1997 - 1998 season. They since regained promotion to the top tier in 2001 - 2002 and have remained a fixture in the Premier League since 2002 - 2003. In 2008, Manchester City was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group for £210 million and received considerable financial investment.

Nickname
Citizens, Sky Blues, City
Manchester City has also had its fair share of nicknames. "The Cityzens" is about the city part of the name but also for the fans as the citizens of Manchester. "The Blue Moon" is in reference to City being in a blue kit but also when a fan once mooned a Manchester United supporter who is their biggest derby rival. "The Sky Blues" is about the color of the kit as well, the emphasis being on the word "sky" so that they differ from Chelsea. Although let’s be honest, most people just call them "City."
