I have found the newest MSA scbas to be the best by far
Stay away from SurvivAir, and Draeger.
Go for Scott, or MSA.AJ, MICP, FireMedic

I'd gladly trade my Scotts in to get my Survivairs back.
Better mask, more comfortable, 10 years of 0 issues.
But...to the question...what I think is best will be different from what you may think is best and different from what he thinks is best and etc.
My suggestion to you...try as many as you can, in realistic situations, not standing around in a room. See what local service/support you can get. Go from there.
What's most common and who has the better sales pitch is not always what's best."This thread is being closed as it is off-topic and not related to the fire industry." - Isn't that what the Off Duty forum was for?

There are as many answers to which SCBA is best as their are firefighters in the entire world.
I have personal experience with Scott, MSA. the old Cairns whatever they are now, Interspiro, ISI, Draeger, and even Globe. Oops, forgot to add Survivair to the list.
I prefer the Scott AP50 and the MSA Firehawk. Both are lightweight, comfortable, easy to operate and easy to breath.
I adamantly hate the Interspiro with a passion that is almost immeasurable. I used it when I worked for the military and found it awkward, uncomfortable and the controls hard to manipulate with gloves on.Last edited by FyredUp; 03-07-2008 at 09:46 PM.
Survivair Panthers are not too bad since they fixed the pesky low-pressure regulator problem. It had a nasty habit of popping-off at the most inopportune times.

Whatever is on my back!
Yes I am fully aware of what happened in Saint Louis. However, there are many large cities who use this breathing apparatus on a daily basis with no problems.
Conversely I have seen Scott 4.5's so abused by military service members that they are beyond broke. As I pointed out elsewhere, have been handed a Scott 4.5 with only the purge valve attached to the LP air hose to the 2nd Stage Regulator.
ANY SCBA will be crap if you treat it like crap.
Having said that, I prefer the Scott for the simplicity of operation. However I have had no problems with the Survivair Panther II and Twenty/Twenty plus mask. Yes there were problems with the inital roll out. Since they have been resolved, they have held up well.Co 11

Scott or MSA. Personally, our Scott 4.5's are good, (45 minute tanks are kinda heavy) but the masks are kinda heavy compared to the MSA, however I found the MSA masks to be too long. But, the MSA's packs seemed a lot lighter, too. I'm more familiar with Scott's packs, and we've had a coupla problems, but nothing too terrible.

I have seen and used them all in training over the past few years. As for Survive Air (we call them surprise air) would not recommend on the merit of the St. Louis issue alone. It is like driving a Fore Pinto (I know some of you young pups won't have a clue)and for some reason we in the Fire Service seem to be like the general public's view of us post 9-11 and forgot the big picture. From what I read there was some issue of covering up a known problem with a product.
There is another famous brand with a exhalation valve built in the the regulator that has been knowingly cross contaminating people for decades so bad that they came up with a new variation they called "the Dayton OH union issue".
The list can go on and on. Guy's whatever you do research them all. Something I have noticed over some time in my FD experience that if a product has a buzz word in it, for instance a TIC in the past had a "thermal throttle" and in their sales pitch and literature they made us think we HAD to have it. It was truly the weak point as it was a, for lack of better terms, a manual apature, for a visual camera and something you had to adjust while in a house fire. Give me automatic any day.The evidence of God's presence far outweighs the
proof of His absence.
Ok. Fair enough. You discount them based only what happened in St Louis.
Do you even consider that the City of Virginia Beach has been using Survivair for almost 30 years (the very early 80's) without any death or injuries because of the SCBA?
Do you even consider that the City of Los Angeles has been using Survivair for, heck I don't know I don't work there, without any death or injury because of the SCBA?
I agree 100% with you. ANY SCBA that is not maintained will be crap. Scott, Survivair, MSA, Drager, etc etc. I have repaired Scott 4.5's for the Navy that were so bad, you wouldn't give them to your worst emeny. Yes what happened in St Louis should be noted, should be a concern and should be researched. What happened there can happen to ANY SCBA.
But right now they are more worried about making the darn things more and more fancy with bells and whistles, than fixing or making them simplier to operate and maintain.Co 11

Best SCBA
SCOTT hands down. All other brands lose 4 liters of air per minute when the low air alarm goes off which is then expelled out into the atmosphere. With SCOTT you get that air. May mean the difference if you become lost, trapped or disoriented and need those few breaths to get out. The new facepieces are much improved and give a much better seal when your face gets sweaty. If you have the training in Survival you'll have to turn your bottle off and back on only enough to get a breath w/out setting the low pressure alarm off in order to conserve that air.

Interesting tidbit about the loss of air to sound the low air alarms. I too am a Scott supporter. I have been a Scott user since the days of the old Pak 2's and have always been happy with them. I have had some opportunities to use MSA and I believe it was either Ranger or ISI. IMO, I thought the Scott was the most user friendly while wearing gloved hands. Although I am not big on the nose cups, I prefer the original 4.5 facepieces.
I think SCBA fall into the same category of bunker gear. You like what you are used, especially if you haven't had any problems. Like Doc said, he has been using Survivair for a long time with no problems. Others will never look at them twice since the St. Louis incident.
No matter what you have, make sure you are well trained with it and keep it maintained.

I love the Scotts, my #1 choice based solely on past expereince.
As stated, LA City and County have been using Survivair for years and they are very good. A close 2nd.
MSA is pretty good too and coming out with new and better stuff.
And Interspiro- If you pick this brand, sorry to be you. By far...low bid.

I agree with the theory that you like what you are used to. i am used to the MSA firehawks now. The HUD in the mask and the voice amplifier help out alot. Plus, they are lightweight. When I first joined the fire service we used the old scott packs. I dont even remember what model to be honest. like someone already said, try a few out and get what fits your needs best. But my vote is for MSA.

MSA- heavy bulky facepiece with a neck strap on it, no visibility at your feet, loses air to drive low air alarm, seems like they over engineered everything about the pack.
Scott - streamlined with no frills, lightweight facepiece with great vis.
i like the scotts much better

Scott's all the way! I wear both Scott 4.5 and MSA Firehawk on a regular basis at two depts, and Scott is simply a better product. It is the simplest to operate, the most streamlined, which is a definite plus, and a little less chinsy in my mind. The Scott masks also work better; the MSA fits awkward and is a little bigger and sticks out farther. Again, only my opinion, but I would grab a Scott over the MSA any day. Whatever you do, stay away from the Draeger.
NorCal Firefighter
I would really like to know why several have said to stay away from Draeger?
They are by far the dominant SCBA in these parts, and Calgary fire has been using them for years without issue.
I have used most barnds, and I like Scott and MSA just fine. Each has a plus and a minus. Our Draegers have always been on par with any of them. I am actually quite excited to try the new masks as well. The visibility has been one of the few minor points about them, but the new masks look great.
They are the most common FF'ing SCBA in the WORLD after all. Can't be that bad.Never argue with an Idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience!

My fire company and hazmat team both use Scott SCBA's and I haven't had any problems with them yet so I prefer using them over any other SCBA's.

wow, I had no idea about the low air warning air loss. Good info. I was completely sold on the new Survivair Warriors. Such a comfy pack. I guess the salesmen aren't going to tell you the negatives though. lol

My department is going through an evaluation of SCBAs right now for an AFG grant. We are going to replace 100% of our current air packs.
We brought in Scott NGx7s (with new quick connect), MSA Firehawks, the new Survivair (changed the company name to Sperian?), and the new Draeger pack.
We have been using Draeger for over 15 years.
Draeger - Pro most comfortable pack, better field of vision than old mask. New mask very streamlined, new straps can be deconned easily. Backplate very easily adjusted for different sizes of fire fighters. New quick change bottle very easy to change with gloves on, 10 sec to remove, replace bottle. Improved ease of connecting regulator to mask Con 2nd most expensive quote, few departments in area using, makes getting service more difficult, low-air whistle uses air, quick change connector requires an adaptor for compressors, cascades to fill them. This would create an additional thing we would have to make sure we took with us when we mutual aided or went for outside training. Brand new design, having difficulty getting 2007 compliance, no field history with new design, don't know how it will hold up long term
Scott - Pro - Tied for lowest bid, best field of vision, easy to get serviced, best pricing, easy to operate, low air alarm is uses little air, quick change bottle very nice, doesn't require an adaptor to fill from compressors or cascade systems. Comfortable mask, easy breathing, one set of batteries powers all the electronics, proven design with good track record Con 2nd heaviest pack, not quite as comfortable as our current packs, cross contamination potential for 2nd stage regulator (Scott swears everyone has this problem, not sure I believe them)
MSA - Pro - Tied for lowest bid, lightest weight pack that we tested. Good field of vision Con no local service (like Draeger), not very comfortable compared to Scott, Draeger. Old style screw on bottle changes
SurviveAir - Pro Other departments in area use older SurviveAir Con Most expensive pack quoted (over $1000 more than Draeger) Heaviest pack we tested by far, most uncomfortable pack by far. Old style screw on bottle changes, no local service center, New design with no track record. Most uncomfortable nose cup, fogged up when not on air the fastest.
We are strongly considering switching to Scott after doing our evaluation. We would like to stick with Draeger for comfort/training reasons, but their difficulty getting 2007 compliance, no local service, unique quick change connector is giving us 2nd thoughts.

Why YY (YY) Stock Is Soaring Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- YY Inc
(YY - Get Report) shares are up 8.5% to $70 in trading Tuesday.
The Chinese social media platform is seeing the rise after it issued $400 million in five year convertible bonds with 2.25% coupon rate and 35% conversion premium over Monday's close of $68.65.
(C), Deutsche Bank
(DB) and Morgan Stanley
(MS) were joint bookrunners for the issuance.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates YY INC -ADR as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate YY INC -ADR (YY) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its notable return on equity, robust revenue growth and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock itself is trading at a premium valuation."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Compared to other companies in the Internet Software & Services industry and the overall market, YY INC -ADR's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- YY's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 16.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 136.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- YY has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.23, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for YY INC -ADR is rather high; currently it is at 51.53%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 31.19% significantly outperformed against the industry average.

If you've been intensely monitoring eBay, hoping to nab a factory-sealed copy of Treasure's rare Sega Saturn beat-'em-up, Guardian Heroes, it's time to relax. Sega revealed this morning that it intends to release the game for Xbox Live Arcade sometime "this fall," with flashier 2D visuals (HD!) and online play (both co-op and battle modes). And it won't cost upwards of $50 to get it, unlike that eBay auction you've been eying. (Our condolences to the sellers, though!)
"Players have been clamoring for this treasured favorite from the Saturn days, and we cannot wait to show them what we have got for them," Sega VP of digital business Haruki Satomi noted in the announcement, calling the fan response to previous Dreamcast re-releases "overwhelming." So overwhelming, in fact, that Sega had to step back to an older console.

I wonder if X116 is going to be more of a mid champion or a other lane... Also a question, how do you price new champions? Do they just automatically go to the highest price up there (so she would be 7200 or whatever Lucian was <<...) or do they get priced randomly? (I'd love to see a dart board with prices stuck to it...)

I return with cookies. So her name is Jinx, which sort of fits things. Most likely isn't out "C" character in Cait's lore, either that or we can expect Cait's lore to get retrofitted a bit. But let's take a look at the name. Jinx. ix. Which is > Vi. Everything seems to fit now.
Her name is Xara and she is from Vi's previous gang of thieves. There was a leak a while back and she uses smoke bombs as one of her abilities.

California has some of the most advanced and intricate licensing and permitting in the nation.

In California, employment Agencies and Staffing Firms provide temporary workers to businesses. These days, specialty and full service staffing firms serve a wide array of industries – often providing highly skilled labor. Of course, blue collar labor and administrative workers are also commonly available through employment agencies.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Amanda VanAllen and Courtney Mims
ABC News' Emily Friedman:"Have You Beat Obama Yet?' Grandson Asks Romney" Mitt Romney's grandchildren have been getting an up-close look at the political process, but at least one — 4-year-old Nate — seems to have had enough of the long, drawn-out campaign."Nate, the first thing he said when he saw me was, 'Have you beat Barack Obama yet?' That's our 4-year-old," Romney said today, as he, his wife Ann and three of his 18 grandchildren - Nick, Chloe and Parker — visited with reporters on the back of his tour bus. LINK
The Hills' Molly K. Hooper: "Boehner campaigns with Romney, says he can deliver Ohio" House Speaker John Boehner (R) says he can deliver the campaign battleground state of Ohio for Mitt Romney's presidential bid. The highest ranking elected Republican appeared at a rally in his Ohio district with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sunday evening. LINK
Yahoo News' Holly Bailey : "Romney campaigns with John Boehner in Ohio" House Speaker John Boehner made his first public appearance with Mitt Romney this campaign, touting the Republican nominee as someone who has the ability to put "the economy back together again."Speaking to several hundred supporters at a rally along a cordoned-off downtown street in this Western Ohio town, Boehner cast Romney as someone who would be an ally to a Republican-led Congress LINK
The New York Times' Trip Gabriel: "Romney Doesn't Say Whether He Would Overturn Obama Immigration Order" Responding to the challenge that President Obama posed in his order last week to stop deporting some illegal immigrants, Mitt Romney declined to say on Sunday whether he would reverse the president's decision if he takes up occupancy of the White House.Although Mr. Romney said during the Republican primary debates that he would veto the Dream Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants, he was more equivocal about Mr. Obama's order last week. LINK
The Washington Post's Phillip Rucker and Dan Balz "Romney knocks Obama's immigration move but struggles to offer an alternative plan" Mitt Romney criticized President Obama's decision to stop deporting some illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children as an election-year political move, but he repeatedly declined in an interview Sunday to lay out an alternative plan.The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said he wants a "long-term solution," unlike what he derided as Obama's "stopgap measure," but would not say what it would entail other than to provide permanent residency to those who serve in the military.LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Maeve Reston: "For Obama, a 'team of rivals'; For Romney, debate and rebuttal" Mitt Romney and Barack Obama don't agree on much these days in their battle for the White House, but they have displayed some similar traits — their reserve, their cool, cerebral approach to problems and their preference for a deliberative decision-making process with the help of a team willing to challenge their views. When Obama was running for the White House in 2008, he told reporters that he drew inspiration from Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Abraham Lincoln, "Team of Rivals." LINK
The New York Daily News' Mike Lupica: "Mitt Romney's strategy against President Obama is to say nothing at all" There was Mitt Romney on Sunday with Bob Schieffer, in the middle of his bus tour through Pennsylvania, Romney presenting himself as honestly as he could, which means as the rich, affable, last stiff standing on the Republican side. And, by the way? It might be more than enough to make him the next President. LINK
The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan: "Romney hits 'timing' of Obama's decision on illegals" Presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday refused to say whether he would revoke President Obama's decision to categorically stop deporting young-adult illegal immigrants as the ramifications of the administration's election-year move last week continued to reverberate. Some Republicans in Congress have vowed to sue to force Mr. Obama to back down, saying his decision to stop deportations flies in the face of the law. LINK
USA Today's David Jackson: "Obama aide on immigration plan: Not a permanent fix" A top aide to President Obama said today. "We've tried as hard as we can to pass both the DREAM Act and comprehensivehat the administration's new immigration policy for young people is only a stopgap measure, and "comprehensive immigration reform" is still needed. immigration reform — Congress has refused," said senior adviser David Plouffe on ABC's This Week. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Carol E. Lee: "Foreign-Policy Challenges Greet President at Summit" President Barack Obama, already tested by a sluggish domestic economy in an election year, this week confronts two foreign-policy challenges for which he has few options: the European economic crisis and the violence in Syria. The president, with no economic leverage, will continue to pressure European leaders at a gathering of world leaders in Los Cabos, Mexico, this week to take stronger action to resolve their crisis before it further weakens the U.S. recovery. LINK
The Boston Globe's Jonn E. Sununu " Panic sets in at the White House "It's been a tough couple of weeks for President Obama, one of tho"0se stretches where everything seems to go south at once. The economy is soft, his poll numbers are down, and Europe has the markets on edge; Romney is even beating him in the money race." LINK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Whitehall is a road in the City of Westminster, in central London, which forms the first part of the A3212 road from Trafalgar Square to Chelsea. It is the main thoroughfare running south from the site of the original Charing Cross at the southern end of Trafalgar Square towards Parliament Square. Recognised as the centre of Her Majesty's Government, the street is lined with government departments and ministries; the name "Whitehall" is thus also frequently used as a metonym for overall British governmental administration, as well as being a geographic name for the surrounding area.
The name is taken from the vast Palace of Whitehall that used to occupy the area but which was largely destroyed by fire in 1698. Whitehall was originally a wide road that led to the front of the palace. Trafalgar Square was built at its northern extremity in the early 19th century. The southernmost portion between Parliament Square and Downing Street is named Parliament Street. Combined, Parliament Street and Whitehall cover a distance of about 0.6 mile (1 km).
Whitehall is also widely known for a number of memorial statues and monuments, including Britain's primary war memorial, the Cenotaph.
Parliament Street was a small side-road alongside the Palace of Whitehall which led to the Palace of Westminster. When the Palace of Whitehall was demolished, Parliament Street was widened to match Whitehall's width. The present appearance of the street is largely the result of 19th-century redevelopment.
Banqueting House, built in 1622 by Inigo Jones, is the only surviving portion of the former palace. Charles I was executed on 30 January 1649 on a scaffold erected outside the building, stepping onto it from a first-floor window. Royalists commemorate the regicide annually on the anniversary of the execution.
The name "Whitehall" is often used as a metonym to refer that part of the civil service which is involved in the government of the United Kingdom, similar to the use of "the Kremlin" to refer to the Russian government or "the White House" for some elements of the executive branch of the United States government.
The central portion of the street is dominated by military buildings, including the Ministry of Defence, with the former headquarters of the British Army and Royal Navy, the Royal United Services Institute, the Horse Guards building and the Admiralty, on the opposite side.
Scotland Yard, the headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police Service, was originally located in Great Scotland Yard off the north-eastern end of Whitehall, but was relocated to New Scotland Yard on the Victoria Embankment in 1890. From 2015, the Metropolitan Police will be headquartered in a building between Whitehall and the Embankment.
Downing Street leads off the south-west end of Whitehall, just above Parliament Street. It is closed to the public at both ends by security gates erected in 1989.[1] These have since been supplemented by a further gated barrier around 3 m outside the main gates.
Additional security measures have been put in place along Whitehall for the protection of the government buildings that line the street. This is partly due to a £25 million streetscape project undertaken by Westminster City Council and approved months before the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[2] The project has provided wider pavements, better lighting and hundreds of concrete and steel security barriers.
On 28 October 2013 during the St Jude storm, Whitehall was temporarily closed to traffic after a crane collapsed on top of the Cabinet Office.[3]
The Cenotaph, Britain's primary war memorial, is situated in the centre of Whitehall and is the site of the annual ceremonies on Remembrance Sunday.
In 2005 a national Monument to the Women of World War II was erected a short distance north of the Cenotaph in the middle of the Whitehall carriageway.
The road is also home to six other monuments:
Government buildings on Whitehall, from north to south, include:
Busy street traffic on Whitehall, pictured from Trafalgar Square
Looking south down Whitehall towards Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster
Old War Office
Government Offices Great George Street, Parliament Street
Trafalgar Studios, formerly the Whitehall Theatre
The former Cox & Co Bank (1884-86), Whitehall, designed by Ewan Christian (1814-95) whose offices were nearby in Whitehall Place, the lower extension to the corner of Craig's Court is of 1900, designed by J. H. Christian, Ewan's cousin and a partner in his practice. Ewan Christian designed the National Portrait Gallery in St Martin's Place

Secretary Kerry returning to Mideast: How much nudging will he do?
Seeking to build on Obama's recent visit, John Kerry will be in Turkey and Israel – already his third trip there as secretary – to signal the Mideast parties 'he's serious' about making peace.
Jacquelyn Martin/AP
Secretary of State John Kerry will sit down with leaders in Turkey and Israel this weekend, anxious to test out what progress he might be able to make in long-stalled Middle East peace talks after both President Obama's recent visit as well as his own attention to the region.
Secretary Kerry made it clear from the moment he assumed his post as chief US diplomat this year that he intended to give long-elusive peace between Israelis and Palestinians a serious shot – despite the long odds against success. By adding stops in Istanbul Saturday and then in Israel Sunday to a previously planned overseas trip, Kerry is out to hammer home to leaders in the region in particular that he intends to stay on the issue.
"He's all in, he's serious about this," says one State Department official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to comment on Kerry's trip. It will be Kerry's third trip to Israel since taking office.

Manchester City Football Club is a Premier League football club in Manchester, England. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton), they became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894.
The club has played at the City of Manchester Stadium since 2003, having played at Maine Road from 1923. The club's most successful period was in the late 1960s and early 1970s when they won the League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup under the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison.
After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final, the club went through a period of decline, culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football for the only time in their history in 1998. Having regained Premier League status, the club was purchased in 2008 by Abu Dhabi United Group and has become one of the wealthiest in the world.
In 2011, Manchester City qualified for the UEFA Champions League and won the FA Cup. The following year, they won the Premier League, their first league title for 44 years and the first Premier League title for any club that has played in the third tier of English football since 1980. In 2014, they won the League Cup and a second Premier League title.
City gained their first honours by winning the Second Division in 1899; with it came promotion to the highest level in English football, the First Division. They went on to claim their first major honour on 23 April 1904, beating Bolton Wanderers 1–0 at Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup; City narrowly missed out on a League and Cup double that season after finishing runners-up in the League but City became the first club in Manchester to win a major honour.[4] In the seasons following the FA Cup triumph, the club was dogged by allegations of financial irregularities, culminating in the suspension of seventeen players in 1906, including captain Billy Meredith, who subsequently moved across town to Manchester United.[5] A fire at Hyde Road destroyed the main stand in 1920, and in 1923 the club moved to their new purpose-built stadium at Maine Road in Moss Side.[6]
In the 1930s, Manchester City reached two consecutive FA Cup finals, losing to Everton in 1933, before claiming the Cup by beating Portsmouth in 1934.[7] During the 1934 cup run, Manchester City broke the record for the highest home attendance of any club in English football history, as 84,569 fans packed Maine Road for a sixth round FA Cup tie against Stoke City in 1934 – a record which still stands to this day.[8] The club won the First Division title for the first time in 1937, but were relegated the following season, despite scoring more goals than any other team in the division.[9] Twenty years later, a City team inspired by a tactical system known as the Revie Plan reached consecutive FA Cup finals again, in 1955 and 1956; just as in the 1930s, they lost the first one, to Newcastle United, and won the second. The 1956 final, in which Manchester City beat Birmingham City 3–1, is one of the most famous finals of all-time, and is remembered for City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann continuing to play on after unknowingly breaking his neck.[10]
After relegation to the Second Division in 1963, the future looked bleak with a record low home attendance of 8,015 against Swindon Town in January 1965.[11] In the summer of 1965, the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison was appointed. In the first season under Mercer, City won the Second Division title and made important signings in Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell.[12] Two seasons later, in 1967–68, Manchester City claimed the League Championship for the second time, clinching the title on the final day of the season with a 4–3 win at Newcastle United and beating their close neighbours Manchester United into second place.[13] Further trophies followed: City won the FA Cup in 1969, before achieving European success by winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, beating Górnik Zabrze 2–1 in Vienna.[14] City also won the League Cup that season, becoming the second English team to win a European trophy and a domestic trophy in the same season.
The club continued to challenge for honours throughout the 1970s, finishing one point behind the league champions on two occasions and reaching the final of the 1974 League Cup.[15] One of the matches from this period that is most fondly remembered by supporters of Manchester City is the final match of the 1973–74 season against arch-rivals Manchester United, who needed to win to have any hope of avoiding relegation. Former United player Denis Law scored with a backheel to give City a 1–0 win at Old Trafford and confirm the relegation of their rivals.[16][17] The final trophy of the club's most successful period was won in 1976, when Newcastle United were beaten 2–1 in the League Cup final.
A long period of decline followed the success of the 1960s and 1970s. Malcolm Allison rejoined the club to become manager for the second time in 1979, but squandered large sums of money on unsuccessful signings, such as Steve Daley.[18] A succession of managers then followed – seven in the 1980s alone. Under John Bond, City reached the 1981 FA Cup final but lost in a replay to Tottenham Hotspur. The club were twice relegated from the top flight in the 1980s (in 1983 and 1987), but returned to the top flight again in 1989 and finished fifth in 1991 and 1992 under the management of Peter Reid.[19] However, this was only a temporary respite, and following Reid's departure Manchester City's fortunes continued to fade. City were co-founders of the Premier League upon its creation in 1992, but after finishing ninth in its first season they endured three seasons of struggle before being relegated in 1996. After two seasons in Division One, City fell to the lowest point in their history, becoming the second ever European trophy winners to be relegated to their country's third league tier, after 1. FC Magdeburg of Germany.
After relegation, the club underwent off-the-field upheaval, with new chairman David Bernstein introducing greater fiscal discipline.[20] Under manager Joe Royle, City were promoted at the first attempt, achieved in dramatic fashion in a play-off against Gillingham. A second successive promotion saw City return to the top division, but this proved to have been a step too far for the recovering club, and in 2001 City were relegated once more. Kevin Keegan replaced Royle as manager in the close season, and achieved an immediate return to the top division as the club won the 2001–02 Division One championship, breaking club records for the number of points gained and goals scored in a season in the process.[21] The 2002–03 season was the last at Maine Road, and included a 3–1 derby victory over rivals Manchester United, ending a run of 13 years without a derby win.[22] City also qualified for European competition for the first time in 25 years. In the 2003 close season the club moved to the new City of Manchester Stadium. The first four seasons at the stadium all resulted in mid-table finishes. Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson became the club's first manager from overseas when appointed in 2007.[23] After a bright start performances faded in the second half of the season, and Eriksson was sacked in June 2008.[24] Eriksson was replaced by Mark Hughes two days later on 4 June 2008.[25]
By 2008, the club was in a financially precarious position. Thaksin Shinawatra had taken control of the club a year before, but his political travails saw his assets frozen.[26] Then, in August 2008, the club was purchased by the Abu Dhabi United Group. The takeover was immediately followed by a flurry of bids for high-profile players; the club broke the British transfer record by signing Brazilian international Robinho from Real Madrid for £32.5 million.[27] Performances were not a huge improvement on the previous season despite the influx of money however, with the team finishing tenth, although they did well to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. During the summer of 2009, the club took transfer spending to an unprecedented level, with an outlay of over £100 million on players Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz, Kolo Touré, Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Joleon Lescott.[28] In December 2009, Mark Hughes – who had been hired shortly before the change in ownership but was originally retained by the new board – was replaced as manager by Roberto Mancini.[29] City finished the season in fifth position in the Premier League, narrowly missing out on a place in the Champions League, and competed in the UEFA Europa League in season 2010–11.
Continued investment in players followed in successive seasons, and results began to match the upturn in player quality. City reached the 2011 FA Cup Final, their first major final in over thirty years, after defeating derby rivals Manchester United in the semi-final,[30] the first time they had knocked their rival out of a cup competition since 1975. They defeated Stoke City 1–0 in the final, securing their fifth FA Cup, the club's first major trophy since winning the 1976 League Cup. In the same week, the club qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 1968 with a 1–0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur.[31] On the last day of the 2010–11 season, City passed Arsenal for third place in the Premier League, thereby securing qualification directly into the Champions League group stage.
Strong performances continued to follow in the 2011–12 season, with the club beginning the following season in commanding form, including beating Tottenham 5–1 at White Hart Lane and humbling Manchester United by a 6–1 scoreline in United's own stadium. Although the strong form waned half-way through the season, and City at one point fell eight points behind their arch rivals with only six games left to play, a slump by United allowed the blue side of Manchester to draw back level with two games to go, setting up a thrilling finale to the season with both teams going into the last day equal on points. Despite City only needing a home win against a team in the relegation zone, they fell a goal behind by the end of normal time, leading some of United's players to finish their game celebrating in the belief that they had won the league. Two goals in injury time – including one scored almost five minutes after normal time had elapsed – resulted in an almost-literal last-minute title victory, City's first in 44 years, and became only the fifth team to win the Premier League since its creation in 1992. In the aftermath that followed, the event was described by media sources from the UK and around the world as the greatest moment in Premier League history.[32][33] The game was also notable for former player Joey Barton's sending off, where he committed three separate red card-able incidents on three different players in the space of only a few seconds, resulting in a 12-game ban.[34]
The following season City failed to capitalise on the gains made in the first two full seasons of Mancini's reign. While City rarely seemed likely to drop below second in the table, they posed little title challenge all season. In the UEFA Champions League, the club was eliminated at the group stage for a second successive season, while a second FA Cup final in three seasons ended in a 1–0 defeat to relegated Wigan Athletic.[35] Mancini was dismissed two days later, ostensibly as he had failed to reach his targets for the season,[36] but BBC sports editor David Bond reported that he had been sacked for his poor communication and relationships with players and executives.[37] In his place was appointed the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini.[38] In Pellegrini's first season, City won the League Cup[39] and regained the Premier League title on the last day of the season.[40]
Manchester City's home colours are sky blue and white. Traditional away kit colours have been either maroon or (from the 1960s) red and black; however, in recent years several different colours have been used. The origins of the club's home colours are unclear, but there is evidence that the club has worn blue since 1892 or earlier. A booklet entitled Famous Football Clubs – Manchester City published in the 1940s indicates that West Gorton (St. Marks) originally played in scarlet and black, and reports dating from 1884 describe the team wearing black jerseys bearing a white cross, showing the club's origins as a church side.[41] The red and black away colours come from former assistant manager Malcolm Allison, who believed that adopting the colours of A.C. Milan would inspire City to glory.[42] Allison's theory worked, with City winning the 1969 FA Cup Final, 1970 League Cup Final and the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup Final in red and black stripes as opposed to the club's home kit of sky blue.
The current club badge was adopted in 1997 as a result of the previous badge being ineligible for registration as a trademark. The badge is based on the arms of the city of Manchester, and consists of a shield in front of a golden eagle. The eagle is an old heraldic symbol of the city of Manchester; a golden eagle was added to the city's badge in 1958 (but has since been removed), representing the growing aviation industry. The shield features a ship on its upper half representing the Manchester Ship Canal, and three diagonal stripes in the lower half symbolise the city's three rivers – the Irwell, the Irk and the Medlock. The bottom of the badge bears the motto Superbia in Proelio, which translates as Pride in Battle in Latin. Above the eagle and shield are three stars, which are purely decorative.
City have previously worn two other badges on their shirts. The first, introduced in 1970, was based on designs which had been used on official club documentation since the mid-1960s. It consisted of a circular badge which used the same shield as the current badge, inside a circle bearing the name of the club. In 1972, this was replaced by a variation which replaced the lower half of the shield with the red rose of Lancashire. On occasions when Manchester City plays in a major cup final, the usual badge has not been used; instead shirts bearing a badge of the arms of the City of Manchester are used, as a symbol of pride in representing the city of Manchester at a major event. This practice originates from a time when the players' shirts did not normally bear a badge of any kind, but has continued throughout the history of the club.[43] For the 2011 FA Cup Final, City used the usual badge with a special legend, but the Manchester coat of arms was included as a small monochrome logo in the numbers on the back of players' shirts.[44]

23 Marc-Vivien Foé, Midfielder (2002–03) – posthumous honour.
Since 2003, Manchester City have not issued the squad number 23. It was retired in memory of Marc-Vivien Foé, who was on loan to the club from Lyon at the time of his death on the field of play whilst playing for Cameroon in the 2003 Confederations Cup.[46]

Manchester City has a large fanbase in relation to its comparative lack of success on the pitch. Since moving to the City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester City's average attendances have been in the top six in England,[55] usually in excess of 40,000. Even in the late 1990s, when the club were relegated twice in three seasons and playing in the third tier of English football (then Division Two, now Football League One), home attendances were in the region of 30,000, compared to an average for the division of fewer than 8,000.[56] Research carried out by Manchester City in 2005 estimates a fanbase of 886,000 in the United Kingdom and a total in excess of 2 million worldwide, although since the purchase of the club by Sheikh Mansour and the club's recent trophies, that figure has ballooned to many times that size.[57]
Manchester City's officially recognised supporters club is the Manchester City FC Supporters Club (1949), formed from a merger of two existing organisations in 2010: the Official Supporters Club (OSC) and the Centenary Supporters Association (CSA).[58] There have been several fanzines published by supporters; the longest running is King of the Kippax and it is the only one still published.[59] The City fans' song of choice is a rendition of "Blue Moon", which despite its melancholic theme is belted out with gusto as though it were a heroic anthem. City supporters tend to believe that unpredictability is an inherent trait of their team, and label unexpected results "typical City".[60][61] Events that fans regard as "typical City" include City's being the only reigning English champions ever to be relegated (in 1938), the only team to score and concede over 100 goals in the same season (1957–58),[62] or the more recent example that City were the only team to beat Chelsea in the 2004–05 Premier League, yet in the same season City were knocked out of the FA Cup by Oldham Athletic, a team two divisions lower.
Manchester City's biggest rivalry is with neighbours Manchester United, against whom they contest the Manchester derby. Before the Second World War, when travel to away games was rare, many Mancunian football fans regularly watched both teams even if considering themselves "supporters" of only one. This practice continued into the early 1960s but as travel became easier, and the cost of entry to matches rose, watching both teams became unusual and the rivalry intensified. A common stereotype is that City fans come from Manchester proper, while United fans come from elsewhere. A 2002 report by a researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University found that while it was true that a higher proportion of City season ticket holders came from Manchester postcode areas (40% compared to United's 29%), there were more United season ticket holders, the lower percentage being due to United's higher overall number of season ticket holders (27,667 compared to City's 16,481); not highlighted in the report was that within the City of Manchester itself, there were more City season ticket holders (approximately 4 for every 3 United). The report noted that since the compiling of data in 2001, the number of both City and United season ticket holders had risen; expansion of United's ground and City's move to the City of Manchester Stadium have caused season ticket sales to increase further.[63]
In the late 1980s, City fans started a craze of bringing inflatable objects to matches, primarily oversized bananas. One disputed explanation for the craze is that in a match against West Bromwich Albion chants from fans calling for the introduction of Imre Varadi as a substitute mutated into "Imre Banana". Terraces packed with inflatable-waving supporters became a frequent sight in the 1988–89 season as the craze spread to other clubs (inflatable fish were seen at Grimsby Town), with the phenomenon reaching a peak at City's match at Stoke City on 26 December 1988, a match declared by fanzines as a fancy dress party.[64] In August 2006, the club became the first to be officially recognised as a "gay-friendly" employer by campaign group Stonewall (UK).[65] In 2010, City supporters adopted an exuberant dance, dubbed The Poznań, from fans of Polish club Lech Poznań.[66][67]
The holding company of Manchester City F.C., Manchester City Limited, is a private limited company, with approximately 54 million shares in issue. The club has been in private hands since 2007, when the major shareholders agreed to sell their holdings to UK Sports Investments Limited (UKSIL), a company controlled by former Thailand prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. UKSIL then made a formal offer to buy the shares held by several thousand small shareholders.
Prior to the Thaksin takeover, the club was listed on the specialist independent equity market PLUS (formerly OFEX),[68] where it had been listed since 1995. On 6 July 2007, having acquired 75% of the shares, Thaksin de-listed the club and re-registered it as a private company.[69] By August UKSIL had acquired over 90% of the shares, and exercised its rights under the Companies Act to "squeeze out" the remaining shareholders, and acquire the entire shareholding. Thaksin Shinawatra became chairman of the club and two of Thaksin's children, Pintongta and Oak Chinnawat also became directors. Former chairman John Wardle stayed on the board for a year, but resigned in July 2008 following Nike executive Garry Cook's appointment as executive chairman in May.[70] The club made a pre-tax loss of £11m in the year ending 31 May 2007, the final year for which accounts were published as a public company.[71]
Thaksin's purchase prompted a period of transfer spending at the club,[72] spending in around £30 million,[73] whereas over the previous few seasons net spending had been among the lowest in the division. A year later, this investment was itself dwarfed by larger sums. On 1 September 2008, Abu Dhabi-based Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited completed a takeover of Manchester City. The deal, worth a reported £200 million, was announced on the morning of 1 September. It sparked various transfer "deadline-day" rumours and bids such as the club's attempt to gazump Manchester United's protracted bid to sign Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee in excess of £30 million.[74][75] Minutes before the transfer window closed, the club signed Robinho from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £32.5 million.[76] The wealth of the new owners meant that in the summer of 2009, the club was able to finance the purchase of several experienced international players prior to the new season, spending more than any other club in the Premier League.[77]
Manchester City's stadium is the City of Manchester Stadium, also known as Eastlands and the Etihad Stadium since July 2011 because of sponsorship commitments. The stadium is situated in East Manchester and is part of a 200-year operating lease from Manchester City Council after the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The stadium has been City's home since the end of the 2002–03 season, when the club moved from Maine Road.[78] Before moving to the stadium, Manchester City spent in excess of £30 million to convert it to football use. The field of play was lowered by several metres, adding another tier of seating around the entire pitch. A new North Stand was also built.[79] The inaugural match at the new stadium was a 2–1 win over FC Barcelona in a friendly match.[80] The current capacity as of summer 2013 stands at 47,405 after various stadium renovations under the new owners since 2008.[81]
Manchester City have used several grounds during their history: after playing home matches at five stadiums between 1880 and 1887, the club settled at Hyde Road Football Stadium, its home for 36 years.[82] After a fire destroyed the Main Stand in 1920, the club started to seek a new site and moved to the 84-000 capacity Maine Road three years later. Maine Road, nicknamed the "Wembley of the North" by its designers, hosted the largest-ever crowd at an English club ground when 84,569 attended an FA Cup tie against Stoke City on 3 March 1934.[83] Though Maine Road was redeveloped several times over its 80-year lifespan, by 1995 its capacity was restricted to 32,000, prompting the search for a new ground which culminated in the move to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003.
Created in the 2013–14 season to manage their global footballing interests, the City Football Group is an umbrella corporation owning stakes in a network of global clubs for the purposes of resource sharing, academy networking and marketing. Through the CFG, City owns stakes in a number of clubs:
Following the trend of other major English clubs, Manchester City has a series of agreements with clubs to whom they can loan youth players from non-EU countries who otherwise would need to serve five years of residence in the UK to earn an EU passport granting them the ability to play in England without needing a work permit. Primarily the countries of Benelux and Scandinavia are viewed as the shortest way of achieving this.
