City have won the Premier League 3 times, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup two times, and the European Cup Winners Cup 1 time. This is the club's most successful period in the era of the late 1960's and early 1970's. At that time the City under the tutelage of manager Joe Mercer with his assistant Malcolm Allison, and some players like Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee.

Starting in the 1980s City experienced a period of tumultuous decline culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football league system in 1998 for the first time in their history. In an era when the Premier League was first formed in 1992, City is one of the founders. But the achievements of the club does not get better, even City have relegated back to the second level to 2 times, while in the FA Cup since the passing of the Premier League, the best achievements City only until the quarter-finals.

After ending the league in the 2006-07 season in fourteenth position, following the club's achievements began creeping up.

Meanwhile, the Red Away Kit is Maroon, or red (since the 1960s) and Black Pants. But in recent years several different colors have been used. A booklet entitled Famous Football Clubs - Manchester City published in the 1940s indicates that West Gorton (St. Marks) originally played with red and black uniforms. From reports from 1884 describe the team wearing black jerseys carrying a white cross, showing the club's origins as a church side.

The idea of using red and black jerseys come from former assistant manager Malcolm Allison, who believed that by adopting the colors of AC Milan would inspire City to achieve greatness.

Liverpool has a long history of rivalry with neighboring clubs Everton and with Manchester United. Competition with derby club known as the Merseyside derby.

The beginning and the formation of

Clubs could be named Everton FC and Athletic Grounds, Ltd.., Or Everton Athletic summarized, but the English Football Association (FA) refused to admit that there are two teams called Everton. In June 1892, John Houlding eventually chose the name Liverpool FC a new name, and Liverpool transformed into a serious force in English football competition.

His debut as a professional football club Liverpool playing in the Lancashire League and succeed before joining Second Division League (now the Football League Championship) in the 1893-94 season. In his first season in the Second Division, Liverpool instantly became a champion and eligible for promotion to Division I (now the Premier League). Liverpool did not wait long to become champions for the first season in Division I's (1900-01), Liverpool won the Division I success and repeat it again five years later.

Future developments

Final FA Cup was first held in 1914, although they were eventually defeated Burnley 1-0. After that Liverpool won the league championship two seasons in a row ie 1921-22 and 1922-23 seasons, but did not get the trophy again until the 1946-47 season when it won the league title to 5. Having been in Division I for more than 50 years, Liverpool eventually decline and were relegated to the Second Division in the 1953-54 season.

Some time after Liverpool's defeat by Worcester City, clubs outside the Football League in season 1958-59 FA Cup, Bill Shankly was appointed manager in December 1959. Shankly remodel massive team with 24 players take longer and use a room at Anfield stadium to hold coaching meetings. The room was in called 'The Boot Room' which successfully gave birth to legendary Liverpool managers in the future.

Period premier league

Departure of 'King' Kenny Dalglish and 2 terrible tragedy (Heysel and Hillsborough) seem to provide trauma, punishment or curse deep for Liverpool FC. The arrival of Graeme Souness did not change the fortunes of Liverpool FC. Although Souness could give the FA Cup in 1992, but with the transfer policy and poor implementation strategies appear a little confusing to make Liverpool's inconsistent season. Another thing that worsen relations Souness and Liverpudlian is when Souness tells health recovery after heart surgery to the newspaper The Sun.

As it is known that people in Merseyside boycott of The Sun newspaper are often cornered Liverpudlian about Hillsborough tragedy. On January 28, 1994, Graeme Souness resigned as manager of Liverpool FC after being knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup. Coach Roy Evans was appointed as the next manager of Liverpool FC. Liverpool FC ranks eighth league worst result for 29 years. Although winning the title champion Graeme Souness did not succeed, but his leadership many born young talents such as: Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp, Rob Jones and David James.

In the 1994-95 season Liverpool was ranked fifth Premier League and won the League Cup by beating Bolton Wanderers 2-1. Roy Evans managed to restore the hallmark of the game Liverpool pass and move. But the slick and beautiful game Liverpool FC at this time is not compensated sufficient determination and aggressiveness of the players, so Liverpool in the Roy Evans is often called Spice Boys.

In addition to the more mature players such as Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Jamie Redknapp, coach Roy Evans in the emerging young talent named Michael Owen who scored 18 goals and became the PFA Young Player of the Year Award in 1998.

In the 1998-99 season Liverpool FC draw the Frenchman, Gérard Houllier to partner with Roy Evans as joint manager. But Roy Evans did not fit in collaboration with Houllier, so resigned in November 1998. After a single manager, Houllier overhauled team to include players such as Sami Hyypia, Stephan Henchoz, Markus Babbel, Dietmar Hamann, Gary McAllister and Emile Heskey. In addition to emerging young star Michael Owen, Houllier also succeeded in promoting young talent with extraordinary talent named Steven Gerrard.

In 2001, the 2nd single Houllier as manager, Liverpool won a "Treble", namely: FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Europa League. Year 2001 being the best year Liverpool FC after suffering a slump achievements in previous years. This year Liverpool FC won the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup.

This success led to a glimmer of hope for Liverpool to be able to reach the Premier League title last won in 1990. In 2003 Liverpool FC won the League Cup and ranked No. 4 in the 1993-94 season thus eligible for the UEFA Champions League qualification. Although it failed to provide a title for Liverpool FC, but the defensive tactics adopted Houllier deemed not able to compete for the Premier League title. Defensive tactics and rely on counterattacks very easily anticipated by the opponent, so that on May 24, 2004, Gérard Houllier was replaced by Rafael Benitez. and the July 1, 2010 SU Representative Rafael Benitez At replaced by Roy Hodgson. But finally in January 2011 Liverpool FC and Roy Hodgson agreed to terminate cooperation and subsequent managerial positions occupied by 'King' Kenny Dalglish for the 2nd time to the end of the season.

Exact date of January 8, 2011 Kenny Dalglish officially served as the manager of Liverpool FC for the second time. Although the opening match defeat in the FA Cup, but 'King' Kenny Dalglish managed to restore a player's performance and characteristics of 'pass and move' Liverpool FC. The proof of 'King' Kenny Dalglish managed to lift Liverpool FC from the relegation zone to a position six Premier League standings.

These results are not out of courage 'King' Kenny Dalglish to sell star players like Fernando Torres and then buy Luis Suarez from Ajax Amsterdam and Andy Carroll from Newcastle United. Courage in the case put young players like Martin Kelly, Jay Spearing and Danny Wilson were decent thumbs up. Achievement is what makes many people insist that 'King' Kenny Dalglish on a permanent contract as manager of Liverpool FC.
After the end the league at No. 8 on the 2011-12 season, the worst position in the league for 18 years, Dalglish dismissed as Liverpool manager. Dalglish replaced by the Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers.
