Would you still support City if....?

I could never turn it off. I tried when Thaksin was dragging us into the mire, but just couldn't do it.


If you're City, you're City. End of

I'm city till I get roasted in the crem. And then the ashes and dust are to mixed with appropriate chemicals to remain sky blue till the end of eternity and well past the next double over Eintracht Stretford.

I would still support city if we signed eleven Iraqis,whoever turns out in that blue shirt is good enough for me as long as they are giving 100 per cent.

...in January we signed the whole Brazilian national team including subs and Phil Scolari as manager, and released all of our current players and manager except the Brazilians we've already got?

I know this is fiction but what I'm trying to find out is would you still support City if there was no English or local connection left at the club?

On the one hand, for years I've been mocking rags for not coming from Manchester, and proud of City being my local club with homegrown fans and lots of homegrown players.

But football has changed, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to support a team with absolutely no local or English connection anymore. Because this could happen in a year or so.

I have no conection to manchester accept City, but i dont think i would be happy with that outcome after 30 years tbh.

When the arab money was announced i initially thought oh no this is terrible we are going to become aresenal,chelsea and utd all rolled into one,i real vile thought.nevertheless robhino,kompany,zabaletta have straight away become city players in my eyes.
i think i would have a problem in bringing in high profile signings like John Terry,Ronaldo etc who are synonymous with other premiership sides.(Like even when swp was at chelsea to me he remained a city player).
I still think its important to keep an element of home grown acadamy players involved with the team.

first post for me so hello all

well past the next double over Eintracht Stretford.

It's funny that you take the piss out of United for coming from Stretford not Manchester, but you're happy to support a potential team and coaching staff none of who come from Manchester or have any connection with the place.

At least we'll still play in Manchester.
Which is something the Rags can never do (except once a year).
