Date: March 4th, 2017 12:29 AM Author: concupiscible domesticated weed whacker tanning salon Yes it is...ive given you Sheffield and Manchester... Give me one the other way.
Sheffield United Cricket Club was the first sports club or association in England to bear the word "United" in its name, common amongst association football clubs in England today. |

Date: March 4th, 2017 12:31 AM Author: Vermilion hideous base Keep reading dumbass
Sheffield United Cricket Club was formed in 1854, by several local cricket clubs (one of them being the Wednesday club) in Sheffield uniting, |
|
Date: March 4th, 2017 12:35 AM Author: concupiscible domesticated weed whacker tanning salon Ok fine...
Following growing disputes over the running and financing of the club, in June 1900 Thames Ironworks F.C. was disbanded,[4] then almost immediately relaunched on 5 July 1900 as West Ham United F.C.
Point being using united without a unification is hardly new or unique to mls.

|
Date: March 4th, 2017 12:44 AM Author: Vermilion hideous base Well often times they had competing board members or supporter groups / pubs that would "unite" going forward. Leeds united was like this even though it was a new club formed after the demise of Leeds City . But it wasnt as cynical and soulless as MLS (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3542790&forum_id=2#32748852) |

Date: March 4th, 2017 12:28 AM Author: cyan misunderstood step-uncle's house sneaky criminal Yes and no- some teams were named "United" because of the merger, and other teams just copied it
Newcastle United was born from a merger
Man U just decided to use United
Same w/ West Ham and other teams |

Date: March 4th, 2017 12:22 AM Author: concupiscible domesticated weed whacker tanning salon No need to grow a beard...but:
In January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £260,000 in 2017[nb 1] – the club was served with a winding-up order.[15] Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen, including John Henry Davies (who became club president), each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club and who subsequently changed the name;[16] on 24 April 1902, Manchester United was officially born.
