Edited for your own ends.Xavvi said:In eighteen months, the club [not our club]has changed. The outlook, the structure, everything. You have become arrogant, self-important and largely hypocritical. I hate that real City fans are being cheated by this stupid regime. I'm very young and naive but already I feel completely out of touch with football. Who cares if you might break the top four? That's not exciting! It's predictable as hell. You spend stupid money on stupid, overpaid players to get into a silly competition to get even more silly money and more silly money as a reward for winning it. Football is being destroyed by clubs like your's and I hate that. I feel like giving up and starting over such is my resentment towards the Premier League.
Rant over.

I've been going since 1966 (with my dad, now long gone) so I saw success followed by years in the wilderness. The low point was Division 3 (forgive me speaking in old currency) but the grief was soothed by the full stadium and the never say die support. I now have the pleasure of taking my own son (16 - so he's seen Championship football as well as recent good times) at the most exciting time in his living memory (and mine). So naturally we're enjoying it.
However, if somehow the Sheikh pulled all his money out tomorrow and we went into administration with the usual draconian points deduction, where would we go? Well we'd go to watch City and even if we were relegated we'd still go. And I'm pretty sure my son, if he has his own son, will take him to watch our team come what may.
And I take comfort from that because that's the difference between us and certain other supporters.

Clearly.
You are not alone and certainly not trecherous in the statement you make.
Many, many fellow supporters feel the same i think. They bury their heads in the sand and bask in glory of the 'project'. But deep down they are no different from the clubs that have been usurped by international businesses that have a corporate objective that is not at all purely football motivated. Yes, there is private ownership, there always has been, but today's owners fly in once a season, yesterday's sold you your meat on the market or a rumbelows tv, and they felt a bond with the club, a sincere connection, a passion for this club borne out of our working class ancestors of Manchester.
Today, neither the owners or players can say this. The game at this level is anodyne, sterile and purely business, there is no soul. That's a fact, and i have supported my club for 40 years. I just happen to be conscious, and brave enough to tell myself that none of this matters like it did before.
We all know this, i think, but out of sheer desperation we intentionally confuse and fuse the forces driving the club for its own means with our own passionate ends. The two can never meet by definition. It is a mirage.
If you choose to bask, that's fine, but the special bond that existed before can never be reclaimed, for us connected as long as we have been to our club.

Utter, utter bollocks. Fuck off, I say.

I'm sorry but I cannot understand this.
Why was there more of a 'connection' when the owner/s was/were Alexander/Swales/Greenalls/Boler/ Wardle/whoever
All rich faceless business people running the club for their own reasons and motivation which had fuck all to do with the average fan - EVER.
Nowt has changed that I can see other than depth of pockets and nationality and that matters not a jot to me. I support City, not who happens to be in 'ownership' of our club at any given time.
