· Glazer ownership history
Added a detailed takeover, debt and supporter-protest feature, with contemporary funding reports, supporter accounts and company filings. Includes a dated June 2025 financial snapshot, distinctions between interest, principal and dividends, and context on the INEOS transaction. Linked from the homepage, timeline and post-Ferguson feature; included in archive search.
· Historical corrections and research access
- Corrected the Records Lab: 1947–48 and 1967–68 were cup-winning seasons with second-place league finishes, not league-title seasons. Added league finishes to the table and downloadable data. The calculated rates are unchanged.
- Added direct homepage links to all six research features and the Records Lab.
- Revised the six original research features with specific historical evidence and clearer distinctions between interpretation and recorded outcomes.
- Replaced repeated conclusions in season essays with shorter accounts, and revised the 1998–99 analysis around the two finals. Corrected the 1907–08 page’s distinction between the 1902 renaming and 1906 promotion. Removed a mismatched statistical paragraph from the 1967–68 essay and clarified that 1957–58 totals span both sides of the Munich disaster.
· Authorship and research edition
- Identified John Williams as the author, researcher, fact-checker and editor responsible for the archive.
- Added six source-led research features covering the 1931 rescue, Old Trafford’s 1910 move, the 1948 FA Cup, the 1968 European Cup, the 1992–93 title and the 1998–99 Treble.
- Added a crawlable Records Lab with transparent calculations and downloadable JSON inputs.
- Removed the automated third-party news feed pending documented reuse rights and sufficient original editorial value.
- Changed the archive monogram from “MUFC” to the original “UH” mark and retained the unofficial-site disclaimer.
- Expanded the public asset register and aligned it with the repository’s licence record.
· Research-feature edition
- Published six original research features on institutional change, stadium reconstruction, youth development, title-era concentration, managerial succession and European history.
- Added page-specific sources, calculation labels, review dates and related-reading routes.
- Expanded the About and Methodology pages to explain source hierarchy and the distinction between fact, calculation and interpretation.
· Archive quality review
- Added source and definition panels to season, manager, player and honour archive pages.
- Published the corrections route, public asset register and fuller advertising/privacy disclosures.
- Updated manager and season records through the completed 2025–26 campaign.
