I'm Bosnian and I've supported City before Dzeko came in and I'm not bandwagoner :), I haven't pick City because City is going to win everything in years to come.
There were 3 phases in building my feelings for City:
1. when UAE guys bought City. I'm Muslim and I am glad to see my fellow Muslims being successful in anything. In that phase it was only thing that was connecting me to City and in that time I was just sympathizing City.
2. When all those so called fans of other big English and European teams coming from countries where football is like 5th sport and hearing about game itself 3 years ago and as such picked United or Barcelona to be "fans" off, starting to talk shit about City - you know those usual retarded cliches about buying trophies, not having history and other crap... Then something we Bosnian call "ters" (it's some combination of spite and hot temperament) hit me hard and I've decided I'm going to stand up in front of them :) and started to want City to win everything possible. Being Bosnian and someone who was born and raised on Mediterranean Sea (to add some southern temperament) , I have bags of "ters" so I certainly won't stop doing it :)
So, in this 2nd phase I was already die hard City supporter.
3. When Dzeko came in. I liked Wolfsburg when he was there (still do like them) but in combination with first 2, that was enough to become City "fan". Fan with quotes as I really think real fans are only you guys from Manchester and UK that live for City all your lifes, travel to away games etc...
Saying all this I can promise 2 things:
I'll be City "fan" even if Dzeko and sheikh go (Dzeko will on some point, hope sheikh won't ever :_) )
I'll never buy City shirt to me or my boy, I would feel as a redneck (Bosnian: papak) to walk through Sarajevo with it on myself or on my son:) And I'll never use "we" when referring to City as I would again feel as "papak" to say we for a team having home thousands miles away.
What is the point of your story? The most retarded thing I've ever read on this forum is that someone became a fan of Man City when Muslim guy bought it. What does this have to do with football?
Shouldn't you be upset that sheik is spending billions of dollars on his hobby as opposed to feeding hungry in Somalia or donating money to rebuild Bosnia after being destroyed in the war.
As for the "papak" term goes, from what I know, it describes "illiterate" + "ignorant" together in one. I don't mean to offend you personally but if someone consistently writes about religion on the football forum I think I would refer to that person as "papak".
How does this sound to you: "Oh my god, I heard that this morning Rooney came to church that I usually go to and he did 7 Ave Marias. I can't believe I just missed him. From now on, I am going to come one hour early before the mass and I will sit on exact same chair that Rooney was sitting."
