▁ ▁The ▁Football ▁League ▁back ed ▁the ▁existing ▁Manchester ▁League ▁sides ▁and ▁Central ▁were ▁denied . ▁ ▁The ▁Manchester ▁clubs , ▁in ▁particular ▁United , ▁received ▁significantly ▁bad ▁media ▁coverage ▁as ▁a ▁result ▁and ▁this ▁act ▁dam aged ▁their ▁image ▁and ▁support ▁further . ▁ ▁At ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁season ▁Central ▁res igned ▁from ▁the ▁Ch esh ire ▁County ▁League ▁and ▁became ▁def unct , ▁real ising ▁their ▁amb itions ▁would ▁be ▁un ful filled . ▁ ▁Central ▁were ▁an ▁am bit ious ▁side ▁and ▁attract ed ▁many ▁significant ▁crow ds , ▁such ▁as ▁ 8 , 5 0 0 ▁for ▁the ▁visit ▁of ▁W re x ham ▁during ▁ 1 9 2 9 – 3 0 . ▁They ▁also ▁signed ▁international ▁players , ▁such ▁as ▁Wel sh ▁international ▁Bert ▁Gray . ▁ ▁Common ▁myth s ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁widely ▁believed ▁that ▁Manchester ▁Central ▁was ▁considered ▁as ▁a ▁new ▁name ▁for ▁Newton ▁He ath ▁F . C . ▁prior ▁to ▁them ▁becoming ▁Manchester ▁United ▁in ▁ 1 9 0 2 , ▁but ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁fact ual ▁evidence ▁from ▁the ▁period ▁to ▁suggest ▁this ▁is ▁true   – ▁all ▁comments ▁come ▁from ▁later ▁histor ies , ▁while ▁detailed ▁records ▁and ▁media ▁reports ▁from ▁the ▁period ▁make ▁no ▁reference ▁what so ever ▁to ▁this ▁idea . ▁ ▁In ▁fact ▁it ▁seems ▁highly ▁impro b able ▁as ▁Manchester ▁Central ▁was ▁already ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁another ▁s occer ▁side ▁compet ing ▁in ▁the ▁Manchester ▁region ▁during ▁the ▁ 1 8 9 0 s . ▁
