They didn't play football until 1880,
They didn't become part of Manchester until 1890,
They didn't become "United" until 1902,
They got evicted in 1910
and we haven't seen them in Manchester since,
....................unless we invite them for a visit

LYR = Lancashire Yorkshire Railways

Interesting one i heard on the radio today. Which club would be best job for Mourinho. Would it be Mcfc or Mufc. I am a fan of neither so no axe to grind but knowing mourinho's ego i think Mufc would be the job he would go for because winning stuff with Mcfc would open him up to "well any half decent manager could do it because of the money". On the other hand if he were to actually carry on from Ferguson a nigh on impossible job and set the club up for decades more glory. He would become a legend and that is what would appeal to him. What do you guys think ?.
