Stoke City Manager

The current manager of Stoke City FC is Tony Pulis. Tony Pulis has a reputation for achieving solid results on small budgets and has never had a team relegated as manager. Tony has managed Stoke twice. He has previously managed Bournemough, Gillingham, Bristol City and then Pompey. Stoke City is the fifth club he has managed. Initially Tony made sure the club was not relocated from Division One in the 2003/04 season and then he departed the club in 2005 but returned in the Summer of 2006. At the end of the 2007/08 season, Tony Pulis achieved what no other Stoke City manager has achieved by guiding the club into the English Premier League. As Stoke city manager, Tony has secured a number of high profile players including Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, striker Mamady Sidibe and the Jamaican International Ricardo Fuller.

The club resides in Stoke-on-Trent which was the hub of the pottery industry, including famous pottery firms like Wedgewood and Royal Doulton. Because of its location in The Potteries, the football club has affectionately been called the Potters.

Stoke City was one of the original 12 football clubs which made the up the English Premier League at its conception in 1888.

Their home kit is red and white vertical stripes with white shorts and socks.

The Potter’s played football in the Victoria Ground for 119 years and recently a newer Stadium has been built for the team. The Britania Stadium was opened in 1997 at a cost of 15 million pounds. The Britania Stadium is a 28,000 all seater stadium. The Britania Building Society sponsored the overall funding of the new stadium hence the name. Tours of the stadium are available all year round where you can visit the pitchside and dugouts, dressing rooms, executive boxes and the Stanley Matthew Lounge and other parts of the stadium.

The 60s were dubbed the Tony Waddington Years for the club where they fought not to be relegated and attempted to climb to the top. Tony Waddington was appointed manager of Stoke in 1960 and remained manager for 17 years. Stoke won its first important trophy in 1972 in the League Cup beating Chelsea football club at Wembley Stadium 2:1. After this historic win the club fell into the lower divisions and remained there for a number of years. However, the club did win the Football League Trophy twice, in 1992 and in 2000. In 2008 the club finally made it back into the English Premier League and at the end of the 2008/09 Season finished 12th, securing their stay in the Premiership for another year.

Over the years Stoke City fans have had a bad reputation for football hooliganism. However, in the recent years the fans have become more friendly and welcoming.

One of the most famous players to have emerged from Stoke City was Stan Matthews. Stan grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and started playing football for The Potters in the 1930s. After 8 years he had established a reputation as one of the greatest players on earth. Nicknamed ‘wizard of the dribble’, Stan played for the England national team. Stanley Matthews was knighted in 1965 and was the first football player to be knighted. He also won the first ever European footballer of the year award.

Manchester United Info

The club has produced some of the most historic, and recognizable names in football. Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, just to scratch the surface.

Manchester United are popularly known as The Red Devils, Man U, or Man Utd.

Manchester United Stadium

The home of the Red Devil’s is Old Trafford, and has been since 1910. The stadium has also been given the name, "The Theatre of Dreams," by Manchester United’s famous manager Sir Matt Busby. The stadium itself has had an intriguing history. At the beginning of World Ward II, it was used as a depot for the army, and football competition continued there just as before. Then, in December 1940, it was damaged by a German air raid. Play was temporary moved until the following March, when only a few days later it was bombed a second time, rendering it useless. Man U did not play anymore games at Old Trafford until it was repaired in 1949.

After years of rebuilding and renovation, Old Trafford has become biggest stadium of any English Premier League team, with 76,212 seats. Old Trafford is a 5-star rated, "Elite" UEFA stadium, meaning it meets the high standards of UEFA to hold the Champions League Final.

Man U’s history begins in 1878 when the club was formed, and known then as Newton Heath L&YR F.C., a worker’s football team from Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. In 1902 the team fell into financial turmoil, until a large investment by J.H. Davies, a local brewer, saved the club. They started fresh, with a new name: Manchester United.

Manchester Utd Manager

Sir Alex Ferguson is the current manager of Manchester United. Before his managing days, he was a striker with several professional teams throughout Scotland. His managing career began in 1974, at the relatively early at the age of 32. Ferguson earned ?40 a week for managing East Stirlingshire. From there he quickly moved up the ranks, joining more prestigious clubs. By 1985 he was chosen as manager of Scotland’s national team.

Fergie’s stint as Scotland’s manager was short lived, as he took over the managerial duties at Manchester United in 1986. It was a slow start, but soon, with Sir Alex at the helm, Man U began to flourish. During his career at Manchester Utd., Ferguson has won the English Premier League eleven times, the League Cup three times, the FA Cup five times, the Champions League twice, and many other various championship wins. In the 1998-99, under his leadership, the Red Devils won the Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, a feat never accomplished by any other club. He was knighted in 1999 and inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

Man Utd have won 18 domestic league championships, tying them with Liverpool for the most. They have also won many other honours, both domestically and internationally.

Since the new beginning in 1902, Man U has had a few struggles, but that is overshadowed by their enormous success.
Between World War I and World War II the team juggled between victory and failure, moving back and forth from the first division to the second division. After WWII, the team has been nothing short of spectacular, being regulated from the top division only once.

Manchester United F.C. is a football club playing in the English Premier League. They are one of the most popular and successful football teams in the world, as well as the richest of any sport.
