The 2006–07 season was Manchester City Football Club's fifth consecutive season playing in the Premier League, the top division of English football, and its tenth season since the Premier League was first created with Manchester City as one of the its original 22 founding member clubs. Overall, it was the team's 115th season playing in a division of English football, most of which have been spent in the top flight.

Season review

The 2006–07 season proved tough for club which skirmished with relegation from the Premier League and ended up fourtheenth.[1] The club were again eliminated from the League Cup by a League One team, this time by Chesterfield early on in the season. Ben Thatcher's elbow challenge on Pedro Mendes whilst playing Portsmouth shocked many - a challenge which prompted City to take unprecedented action and banned Thatcher for six matches by the club and a six weeks fine. Pearce called the challenge "indefensible"[2] and the Football Association banned Thatcher for a further eight matches. The side also scored just 10 goals at home in the league, and none after New Years Day in 2007, a record low in top-flight English football.[3]

In December 2006, the club issued a statement regarding a possible takeover,[4] and on 21 June, the Manchester City board accepted an £81.6 million offer for the club from Thaksin Shinawatra.[5] One of his first moves was to schedule a press conference to announce former-England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson as his new manager - Eriksson's first job since leaving international duty.[6]

Team kit

For this season the shirt sponsor for all of the club's kits continued to be the previous season's sponsor, Thomas Cook, while the team kits were produced by the previous season's supplier, Reebok.

Historical league performance

Prior to this season, the history of Manchester City's performance in the English football league hierarchy since the creation of the Premier League in 1992 is summarised by the following timeline chart – which commences with the last season (1991-92) of the old Football League First Division (from which the Premier League was formed).





Friendly games

This season not all of the team's friendly games were played during the preparatory run-in to the official start of the new league campaign, with a couple of friendly games taking place during the course of the active season. The first of these games was perhaps just a "belated pre-season friendly" that was played with the season still only nine days old, while the other one against Blackpool in February was more of a mutually arranged scrimmage behind closed doors, with one of its intended purposes being to provide a "friendly competitive" tryout for the 28-year-old Belgian international striker, Émile Mpenza, who at the time the Manchester club was considering signing. This impromptu scrimmage served as a key part of Mpenza's brief trial with City and saw him perform well enough, with his scoring of the second goal in the 3-0 win, that he was subsequently signed by City two days later (his unattached free agent status permitting him to be signed outside of the January transfer window). The extemporaneous Valentine's Day friendly also gave some City players in need of match fitness, such as Didi Hamann and Stephen Jordan, a chance to get a full 90 minutes of play under their belts.
