The Manchester City Football Club is the other club in Manchester, England and it is a big club with a great history. The current history is proof that it is a big club. Manchester City
was remembered for the successful attempt of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to buy it. Mr. Shinawatra then hired Sven Goren Eriksson to be the coach of the club.
While Sven Goren Eriksson was unable to deliver on the perfect win for Mr. Shinawatra, he was fired from his job. Thaksin Shinawatra saw Manchester Citry as a big team in the same order that a farmer would look at a cow. He wanted to milk the club to the maximum benefit of himself.
Manchester City is even bigger than the Shinawatra versus Eriksson saga. The club has participated in charity work such as New Children’s Hospital Appeal to help children in need. The City [as Manchester City is also called] has also participated in charities such as The City In The Community.
The purpose of The City In The Community is to strengthen the ties between the community of Manchester and the City. It has achieved this purpose by putting emphasis con social inclusion, engagement of the community, as well as the health, well being, and education of the community. It is these charitable works that makes Manchester City a big club since it also possess a big heart.
