  • Parkinson-Bailey, John J (2000). Manchester: an Architectural History. Manchester: Manchester University Press, p 281. ISBN 0-7190-5606-3.  Manchester has been successful in the 1990s in attracting the right sort of firms and people, and has consolidated the long-held view that Manchester is a stable city in which to invest. The 1990s have seen Manchester re-establish itself as Britain's unofficial second city. 'What is now recognised as the second financial centre in the UK… Manchester is now the UK's second city for insurance, leap-frogging Leeds and Birmingham… It used to be said that Leeds was the North's major legal marketplace: but not any longer' Quote reffed to Investors Chronicle, 26 Sept 1997, p8.
  • Guthrie, Jonathan. "The Big Balti must prove it really is second", Financial Times, The Financial Times Ltd, 15 March 2005.  ... Brummies riposted, pointing out that their city's population of almost 1m compared with just 430,000 for Manchester, de facto capital of the North-West. ... Most Britons have better things to do than study local authority boundaries. They simply see two big conurbations of around 2.5m people, jockeying for position. But bodies such as Birmingham Forward are nevertheless noisily banging the drum for ethnic recruit ment. If they fail, growth could suffer and Brummies would have less grounds for beefing the next time a bumbling cabinet minister flatters Manchester by calling it "the second city".
