History of Manchester City Football Origins
The establishment of Manchester City Football Club, not apart from the role of a woman. In November 1865, Arthur Connell was appointed Head of St.Mark's Church in West Gorton, a district east of Manchester, England. Her daughter Anna Connell (1855-1924) took the initiative and decided to form an association that encourages parish youth to exercise.
At that time the rate of crime and unemployment is very high. They believe that sport can unite and reduce crime in east Manchester. Finally in 1880 the cricket players formed a football team under the name of St.Marks (West Gordon) under the guidance of William Beastow and Anna Connell (believed to be the only woman to have established a professional football club in England). In 1887 they moved to new headquarters on Hyde Road, Ardwick.
The name of the club was changed to Ardwick A.F.C. to adjust to the new location. Ardwick began to compete in the 2nd Division Football League in 1892. A year later, the season 1893-94, financial problems wrapped around the club and after reorganized finally changed their name again to Manchester City Football Club.
ESTABLISHMENT (1875-1894)
Members of Britain's St.Marks Church, West Gorton, Manchester, founded a football club now known as Manchester City, for humanitarian purposes. They, trying to curb the violence of local gangs and alcoholism by forming new activities for local men, while high unemployment also hit East Manchester, especially Gorton.
Everyone can follow it, regardless of religion, which in the 19th century was very sensitive. Anna Connell personally visits each house in the parish to attract interest and engagement, inviting both Protestants and Catholics to take part in the new activity. A church cricket club was set up earlier in 1868. Anna conveyed a suggestion to Church employee William Beastow.
He suspected that the daily routine of men would be better if channeled through a collective game run by the church, through new sports games, which grew more popular in the late nineteenth century called 'football'. To make that happen and as part of Anna Connell's desire to cure social ills, church warden William Beastow and Thomas Goodbehere began to form a soccer team called St.Mark's (West Gorton), sometimes West Gorton (St.Mark's) cold of 1880.
Anna Connell is known as the only woman who formed the main English football club. The team's first match was recorded on 13 November 1880, against the church team from Macclesfield. St.Mark's wore a black shirt with white shorts. St Marks lost the match 2-1, and only won one game during their inaugural season in 1880-81, with victory over Stalybridge Clarence in March 1881.
In 1884, the club joined another club, Gorton Athletic. But the merger lasted only a few months before the club was divided again. St. Mark's named themselves with Gorton A.F.C While Gorton Athletic was transformed into West Gorton Athletic. With this name change, the team gradually lost their initial touch of religion, and the name of St.Mark's slowly faded, with the club often putting St.Mark's in brackets.
ARDWICK A.F.C. (1887-1894)
In 1887, Gorton A.F.C. changed his status to a professional and moved to a new place on Ardwick Hyde Road, and changed his name to Ardwick AFC to reflect the new location in the east of the city. Their first match at Hyde Road on 10 September 1887 was planned to fight Salford AFC as the grand opening of the new stadium. But the match did not take place because Salford AFC can not compete.
In 1889 a coal mine explosion erupted near Hyde Road causing the death of 23 miners. Ardwick and Newton Heath, both of whom later became Manchester City and Manchester United, held a friendly match under the spotlights, in order to raise funds for disaster relief. In 1885 the Manchester Cup was held (English: Manchester Cup) for the first time.
Ardwick AFC became more widely known in 1891, having won the Manchester Cup for the first time, beating Newton Heath 1-0 in the final. This success influenced the Football Alliance decision to accept Ardwick as a member for the 1891-1892 season. By the time Football Alliance joined the Football League in 1892, Ardwick AFC became one of the founding members of Second Division. Financial problems in the 1893-1894 season led to a reorganization within the club, and Ardwick turned into Manchester City, under the official name of Manchester City Football Club Company Limited and became a listed company on April 16, 1894.
THE DEVELOPMENT (1894-1898)
Starting in 1894 the club was reorganized by management. Manager Joshua Parlby recruited 19-year-old Billy Meredith from Northwich Victoria. "The Welsh Wizard" is very great because it has a high telenta and a good future. Billy played for the Wales national team and won the first time in 1895.
However, he continued to work underground as a miner for a week until 1896, when Manchester City finally insisted that he should release his coal mining job. The club grew rapidly and in 1895, and already attracted over 20,000 people as supporters. The Manchester City supporters were then known as fanfare fans of their club, often channeling their enthusiasm and creating a lively atmosphere on Hyde Road, with trumpets. Sometimes they occasionally wear fancy clothes.
MANCHESTER CITY WHILE AGAINST A 1904 FA CUP
The club finally registered its first title on 23 April 1904, beating Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at Crystal Palace in a final of the most prestigious knockout tournament in English football, the FA Cup or better known as the FA Cup.

In November a fire caused by cigarettes destroyed the main stand and finally Manchester City started looking for a new home.
Originally proposed the possibility to share Old Trafford Stadium with its neighbor, Manchester United. But the proposed lease United is too expensive, so Hyde Road is improved and City continue to play on Hyde Road. Plans to move from east Manchester to south of Manchester on Maine Road, Moss Side angered John Ayrton, Director of Manchester City at the time. John eventually split from the club and founded Manchester Central F.C., having felt there should be a football team from east Manchester.
Eventually the club's plans to move to a new base on Maine Road, Moss Side was announced in 1922. Manchester City's last game on Hyde Road was a league game against Newcastle United on April 28, 1923, and in August 1923 became the last football match held in Hyde Road.

The first was in 1933, against Everton. During the match Cowan often faced directly against Captain Everton Dixie Dean. Both players are well known for their ability to keep the area. Matt Busby said that "Cowan can head the ball equally away if we kick with the foot". But Dean won the air combat, scoring Everton's second with a header.
Dean's presence gave Cowan a dilemma; he was torn between his determination not to leave Dean and his desire to help strike forward. Eventually Everton won 3-0.

In accordance with Cowan's words, City returned to Wembleypada the following year (1934), and finally won the FA Cup, Cowan fulfilled his promise.

The 1992-93 season started a new era with the name of the Premier League (English: Premier League) where City became one of the founding clubs. But the club trip in the Premier League era did not go smoothly, even tends to continue to decline.

Pearce was eventually sacked and replaced by former England national team manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. At that time Manchester City has been owned by ambitious billionaire who is also former Thai prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra.
Under Eriksson, City looked mighty at the start of the competition but began to lose balance starting from mid-competition, though they could reach the Uefa Cup zone thanks to its fair play appearance. The impatient Thaksin is eager to fire Eriksson before the end of the competition if he is not arrested by Citizen fans who feel Thaksin is too arbitrary and ignores City fans' wishes. Eriksson's dismissal was only briefly delayed and actually made at the end of the competition.
Mark Hughes, manager of Blackburn Rovers and also a former player of Manchester United's local club, was appointed to replace him. Under Hughes, City managed to occupy Premier League positions in the 2008-09 season and also managed to break through the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
