Ernest Mangnall was the secretary-manager of Manchester United from 1903-1912. His first job was at Burnley but he left the club after leading them to relegation (although they successfully sought re-election). At Manchester United, he assembled a talented side and was the first manager to win a league title with the club, in 1907-08. He won the first FA cup for Man Utd in 1909 and another league title in 1910-11. After this very successful period, he became the first - and only - manager to cross from Man Utd to Man City, eventually guiding City to a runners' up spot. He remains a key figure in the history of Man Utd, being the individual who won Utd their first two titles and - according to some - the driving force behind Man Utd's move to Old Trafford.
