What about foreigners like me who have had City as their first team since they were 5?
You are welcome, because like I said, I'm all for foreigners supporting other teams. I support Barca. But I take issue with fans who switch teams seeking glory. We've criticised United for it for some many years. We get six points of them and sudddenly it's ok to welcome glory hunters.
(You'll be even more welcome if you know how I can get 'Næturvaktin' on DVD Region 2 along with the other series. No one sells it!)
It is inevitable the fans from outside of England will change their favourite Premier League team with success. I am sure there are plenty of City fans who took an interest and maybe even bought the shirts of Milan in the 90s, Madrid in the 00's and Barca now.
I would rather fans from other countries take an interest in City as it is one less fan feeding the coffers at the swamp. The same goes in the UK for young and casual fans with no affiliation to any club, if they want to support City, the more the merrier.
I would agree though, the kind of UK fans we don't want are those that have previously been Liverpool, Shite or Chelsea fans who just jump ship at the first sign of trouble and support City because we are winning. It's not that their money is not welcome, it's just they've obviously go no character or loyalty, which is the cornerstone of our support.
