## From the administrators' statement

The following has been provided by the director of the Company:

“The 1990s were an exciting time in Manchester as the Giants were bought by an American medical company which resulted in three venue moves and a home at the MEN Arena for the 1995-96 season. The NBA type atmosphere captured the imagination of the city that many still recall today.

After exiting the league for nearly a decade the franchise was brought back to life in 2011 by a local group. The lack of investment, direction and vision made it difficult for the club to compete in the league and with other cities like London and Newcastle leading to consistently underperformance on and off the basketball court with one post season play off appearance since reforming in 2014.
