The Legacy

Thomas Cook served as the primary sponsor for Manchester City throughout their 2008-2009 campaign. Mark Hughes managed a side that finished 10th in the Premier League. This season saw the high-profile arrival of Robinho, alongside the integration of core individuals like Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta. Stephen Ireland provided consistent creativity from midfield throughout the league schedule. Le Coq Sportif manufactured the kits for a squad undergoing significant change following the takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group. Matches were played against the backdrop of an evolving tactical approach and heavy investment in the playing staff.

Key Moment

Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0 at home in November 2008, months after the Abu Dhabi United Group takeover and the deadline-day signing of Robinho.
