Manchester Speed is an English club from Greater Manchester and was founded on the 23rd of December 2005 by jmw-2003. The team's initial name was inter money but changed after season 31. The stadium's capacity is 30,000. The first foreign player was Daniel Nunes from Portugal and the first player to cost more than 100,000 £ was Luis Blazquez from España.

Season 28 was the first season for the club Slightly boring to be honest and i was glad of promotion.
Season 29 was relatively mediocre though i didnt lose as many games as i thought i would have done..
Season 30 saw an improvement and a 2nd place finish just behind Norway VI Overall i was pleased with the second placed finish.
Season 31 Saw another 2nd placed finish , this time behind Sprowston Lads. A little disapointed not to have made a closer challenge for the title.
Season 32 was when Speed finally promoted. To league V.2. Though initally happy i knew deep down my team wouldnt be able to compete and i was also a little sad to leave VI.253 as I had made friends there and had good memories.
Season 33 As expected i relegated. Saved money for the future

Wingers

===Julius van Popta=== Template:Flag/NEDn
Bought for only £667 from Team Zoefzoef, the friendly Dutchman has been a hit with the fans as well as his fellow team mates since he arrived at the club on 6th of September 2006. He is the club joker and although his first team appearances have been few and far between he is the most valued member of the squad. Julius though clearly untalented (passable winger/passable playmaking) was bought simply because if his quirky name. The managers friends were looking on the transfer list with him and suddenly noticed him. The manager was bugged by his friends to bid on van Popta, he did and thats that - the story goes on from there. His shirt is the biggest seller in the club store.
