Nathan Ake. Ilkay Gundogan. Kevin De Bruyne. Riyad Mahrez. Newton Heath , the other main team in Manchester , continued to have financial problems. Even though Manchester City even made a donation, by the end of the third day it seemed that the venture would prove unsuccessful.
Harry Stafford had the idea of using his St. Bernard dog, Major, to raise money. He wandered amiably between the stalls with a collection box strapped to his back. It was hoped that the dog would attract donations. On the fourth day of the grand bazaar Major escaped from St. James Hall. He eventually found his way to the home of a rich businessman, John Henry Davies , who owned a successful brewery in Manchester.
Davies liked the animal and decided to buy the dog for his daughter. When he traced the dog's owner, Stafford told Davies about the financial position of Newton Heath. The two men became friends and decided to make a takeover bid for the club. At a shareholders' meeting in the New Islington Hall, Harry Stafford announced that he and four local businessmen, including John Henry Davies , were willing to takeover the club's debts. In the season Manchester City was relegated.
In a pre-season public practice game, Di Jones , who played with Billy Meredith in the Welsh national team, gashed his knee. Despite treatment from the club doctor, within a week the wound had turned septic and the player died. That season Manchester City won the Second Division championship by scoring 95 goals in 34 games. The top marksmen were Gillespie 30 , Meredith 23 , Turnbull 12 and Bannister In the season Manchester City finished in second place in the First Division.
The only goal of the game was scored by Billy Meredith. The Football Association was amazed by Manchester City's rapid improvement and that summer they decided to carry out an investigation into the way the club was being run. However, the officials only discovered some minor irregularities and no case was brought against the club. The following season Manchester City again challenged for the championship.
City needed to beat Aston Villa on the final day of the season. Sandy Turnbull gave Alec Leake , the Villa captain, a torrid time during the game. Leake threw some mud at him and he responded with a two-fingered gesture. Leake then punched Turnbull. According to some journalists, at the end of the game, Turnbull was dragged into the Villa dressing-room and beaten-up.
Villa won the game and Manchester City finished third, two points behind Newcastle United. Meredith was found guilty of this offence by the Football Association and was fined and suspended from playing football for a year. Manchester City refused to provide financial help for Meredith and so he decided to go public about what really was going on at the club: "What was the secret of the success of the Manchester City team?
In my opinion, the fact that the club put aside the rule that no player should receive more than four pounds a week The team delivered the goods, the club paid for the goods delivered and both sides were satisfied.
The Football Association was now forced to carry out another investigation into the financial activities of Manchester City. Tom Maley was interviewed and he admitted that he had followed what seemed like standard English practice by making additional payments to all their players. He claimed that if all First Division clubs were investigated, not four would come out "scatheless".
As a result of their investigation, the Football Association suspended Tom Maley from football for life. Seventeen players were fined and suspended until January Billy Gillespie refused to pay his fine and instead emigrated to the United States. This brought a premature end to City's first golden age.
Journalists were aware that virtually every club in the Football League was making illegal payments to its players. Football writers based in Manchester argued that the club, being a northern side, were being made an example of, and thousands of people complained to the Football Association , but it refused to reduce the bans and fines. Manchester City was forced to sell their players in order to raise the money to pay the fines.
While at City he scored goals in games. Harry Newbould was appointed as the new manager in July As a result of the bans and transfers, there were only 11 players available.
The first two games in the season resulted in to heavy defeats at the hands of Arsenal and Everton Manchester City finished 4th from bottom that season. Irvine Thornley ended up as the club's top scorer with 13 goals in 29 games. Billy Jones was second in the list with 11 goals in 27 games.
Manchester City finished in 3rd place in the season. Once again Irvine Thornley was the club's top scorer with 14 goals in 31 games. Thorney was in great form in the season and scored another 18 goals. However, the rest of the team played badly and Manchester City finished second from bottom and were relegated. In Irvine Thornley was appointed club captain. He responded well to this new responsibility and scored 12 goals in the opening 17 games. He was then seriously injured and missed the rest of the season.
Thornley had built the foundations for a good campaign and by beating Leeds United on 23rd September, , they guaranteed promotion to the First Division. Hull City could still deny them the championship but they lost their final game and City took the title by one point. During his nine years at the club, Mangnal had completely transformed the fortunes of the club. He was replaced by John J.
Bentley , the former president of the Football League. Manchester City had a good start to the season and won every game in September. The Daily Dispatch reported that it was "nine years have passed since Manchester City commenced a campaign in this stimulating style. City finished 15th in and 5th in Mangnall made the surprising decision to buy the 46 year old Billy Meredith from Manchester United. That year City finished in 7th place.
Mangnall did even better in the season with only Burnley achieving more league points. City won the game but was defeated by Newcastle United in the semi-final. At the end of the season it was decided not to renew Mangnall's contract. David Ashworth now became manager of the club. Old Trafford has remained the home of Manchester United since and currently stands as the second-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom behind Wembley.
More extensions are planned in the future to potentially raise the capacity to over 90,, but Old Trafford currently seats 75, — over 20, more than what Manchester City can fit into their stadium. The stadium, now known as the Etihad Stadium in relation to their sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways, was erected as part of their ambition to develop into one of the best clubs in England, but also increase revenue and capacity that was restricted to 32, at Maine Road.
