History of Manchester United
Manchester United The club was formed in 1878 under the name Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club (Newton Heath LYR F.C.) by railroad workers at Newton Heath. They played in a small square on North Road, near Manchester's Piccadilly railway station for fifteen years, before moving to Bank Street in a town near Clayton in 1893. The team had been a member of the Football League a year earlier and started severing ties with the railway station, to become an independent company, pick up a secretary and throw out the last name "LYR" to become Newton Heath FC only.
But in 1902, the team nearly went bankrupt, with debts of over £ 2500 and even their Bank Street field was closed. Just a few moments before the club was decided to be dissolved, the club suddenly get an injection of funds from J.H. Davies, director of a beer company Manchester Breweries. The story is the captain of the team, Harry Stafford, showing off his dog at a fundraiser for the club. St. Dogs Bernard is estimated by Davies and he wants to buy it. The offer was denied by Stafford and instead offered Davies to invest his money in his football club as well as chairman of Newton Heath FC.
The offer was accepted and survived Newton Heath from bankruptcy. After that a meeting was held to change the club's name to mark the beginning of the club's revival. The names 'Manchester Central' and 'Manchester Celtic' stuck out to be strong candidates for a new name before Louis Rocca, a young Italian immigrant boy, said "Gentlemen, why do not we use Manchester United's name?" Rocca's proposed name is approved and officially began to be used on April 26, 1902. Davies the new chairman, also decided to change the color of the team from green to red-white gold as the color of Manchester United.
They then promoted to Division One after finishing in two Division Two seasons of 1905-06. Their first season in Division One ended poorly, they were in 8th place. Eventually they won their first league title in 1908. Manchester City are under investigation for paying players above the regulation set by the FA. They were fined £ 250 and their eighteen punished players should not play for them anymore. United quickly took advantage of this situation, recruiting Billy Meredith and Sandy Turnbull, and others.
This new player should not play first before New Year 1907, due to a suspension from the FA. They started playing in the 1907-08 season and United took aim at the title at that time. A 2-1 win over Sheffield United started United's ten-game winning streak. But in the end, they closed the season with a 9 point advantage over their rivals Aston Villa.
The club took two years to bring the trophy again, they won the League One league trophy for the second time in the 1910-11 season. United move into new field Old Trafford. They played their first game at Old Trafford on 19 February 1910 against Liverpool, but they lost 4-3. They did not get the trophy again in the 1911-12 season, they were not supported by Mangnall anymore because he moved to Manchester City after 10 years with United. After that, they played 41 years without winning a trophy.
United were again relegated in 1922 after ten years playing in Division One. They went on to divide again in 1925 but struggled to get into the top flight of the First Division league and they came down again in 1931. United achieved the lowest achievement in their history of 20th Division Two in 1934. Their strength returned in the 1938-39 season.
Busby Era (1945-1969)
In 1945, Matt Busby was appointed manager of the team based at Old Trafford. He asked for something unusual at that time in his duties as a coach such as the power to appoint teams, select players to be recruited and determine the training schedule of the players themselves. Busby has actually lost the vacancy of manager at another club, Liverpool F.C., because the power he desires is perceived that Liverpool's top brass is already within the authority of a director's duties, but it turns United into giving him an opportunity for his innovative ideas. First, Busby did not hire players, but an assistant manager named Jimmy Murphy.
The decision to appoint Busby as a manager was a very appropriate decision, Busby paid the trust of the board by bringing United into second league position in 1947, 1948 and 1949 and winning the FA Cup in 1948. Stan Pearson, Jack Rowley, Allenby Chilton and Charlie Mitten which is great in achieving this United.
Charlie Mitten then went to Colombia to find a better paycheck, he was persuaded by a wealthy Colombian businessman to strengthen the club
