Unlikely City fans

Rory McIlroy's dad is a blue. He's not famous, but being from Northern Ireland and having a son that supports United makes him a pretty unlikely City fan.

Aaron Rodgers the Green Bay quarterback started supporting us because he liked our kit on FIFA and now watches our games regularly.

Clive Myrie from BBC news is a blue and finds it quite hard to maintain BBC levels of impartiality at times ;-)

Has anyone got the clip of him pissing himself when City appointed Pep Guardiola? One of my favourite ever City related clips!
 
The fella who owns Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, isn't he a blue? or is he just trying to piss off the rag fans who fly his air busses to all their home games?

He wanted his two lads to be centre forwards for City. I think he chose City for the underdog image we had in those days, when Ryanair was getting pissed on by the likes of AerLingus, BA and Virgin.
 
JP McManus and John Magnier were major shareholders in Man Utd before selling out to the Glazers in 2004. Dermot Desmond is the key player at Celtic but there are few other Irish investors at football clubs across the water.

In 2003, the Sunday Independent revealed that O'Leary had been offered the chance to buy a stake in Manchester City.

"I wrote back a very nice letter saying, 'Thank you very much, I've been a life-long supporter of Man City. They've broken my heart on many occasions -- but I'll confine my support to going to Maine Road twice a year," he told the Sunday Independent.

"Can you imagine buying a controlling interest in an English team? You'd be all over the back pages of the papers."
