I think the key point being made is that the rags were not formed within the boundaries of Manchester and have a weak claim to using the name of the city as they do. They spent 12 years as Newton Heath (a Lancashire team), then 12 years as Newton Heath (a Manchester within Lancashire team), then 8 years as they are currently named (a Manchester/Lancashire team) and since then 114 years as a Trafford/Lancashire team.But still in Lancashire mate, we're all Lancastrians really ;)
