Football: SWP Back to City

Boo. Boo I say. Shaun Wright-Phillips, former wunderkind at Manchester City, and for the last two seasons, a slight disappointment at Stamford Bridge, has returned to City from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
SWP never forged his place on the Blues' first team, and faced with even less playing time with the imminent arrival of the young Robinho, he now finds himself with a chance to compete every week at City. I wish him well -- and I would that he were given a greater chance at Chelsea to make his mark. At 26 he'll still have many solid years in him, and with some fortune, he'll help City continue to grow (and possibly make an appearance on the national squad). Farewell SWP, we hardly knew ye.

Is City of Chelsea a minor league team within the Blues organization?

City is Manchester City. He began his years at City, transferred to Chelsea two seasons ago, and now has returned.
