Why I'm giving up on football, City and Bluemoon

Not going to judge you at all (OP) we are probably a similar age. I've invested too much of my life, wealth and lately, relationships on City. When I was younger, being abused, they were my reasons to carry on...escapism from reality....a light..beacon of hope if you will. I agree wholeheartedly that things have changed...some for the worse, yet I can never turn my back, no matter hiw much has changed on my saviours. I have 3 ( adult children,all blue ) ....without City, I guarantee they wouldn't be here. I wish you, health and happiness...and hope you hold your memories dearly.
 
It was sick humour driving back from losing at Wycombe, Lincoln, York and many other places but never ever did I or will I stop going to City.

We are in another period of crisis now, not because we’re shit, but because we are serial winners, Champions and amongst the best run sports enterprises on the planet.

Equally,we’ve broken the cartel and their protectionist, entitled,greedy expectation AND THEY ARE NOW TRYING TO DESTROY US !!

Now , as at times of past crisis, is the time to circle the wagons and demonstrate our unique Mancunian characteristics of fierce loyalty, black humour and togetherness.

The Sheikh and Khaldoon will be going to war and we must go with them......it’s what we owe them and ourselves.

Fuck em all,we’re CITY and we fight to the end !!

I gave up my season ticket after the super league debacle. I know everyone on here gave our owners a free pass, but for me that was the moment we became ‘one of them’. The moment I saw a quote from Glazer on our website, I knew things wouldn’t be the same for me. That’s not club I grew up supporting.

I’m still a city fan. I still get nervous before games and celebrate when we score. But it’s just a bit of entertainment for me now.

Football is corrupt and driven by money. And we’re right in the middle of it. To think otherwise is completely foolish.

That was a hideous moment in our recent history. I agree with that. The quote from him on our website made me want to puke.

So this is my last post. 55 years after my first match seeing City. 10 years a season ticket holder 1985 to 1995 until work and family took me too far away. I was there in 2012 and was there for that Tuart goal. Been to many but not all recent cup finals.
I have been vocal about VAR, CAS and FFP.
So, today I have decided I have fallen out of love with this game, the trolls on this forum and the corruption hiding in plain sight both financial and governance. Refereeing and game manipulation and arguing the toss with morons and hypocrites.
My passion has faded with each passing year of vested interest interference, press compliance and journalistic spite.
And, yes, VAR has killed my excitement. Thank God we didn't have to wait for it in 2012. A moment that will never be repeated again in football history.
In truth, this has been coming for a while. I will sign off and find a new passion. City are not to blame. I watched football for the fun and passion. I now know more about global politics, financial compliance and sports governance than I do about our own under 18s. Something has gone drastically wrong with the game.
Our own forum has also become raggish and dipperish, misogynistic and trolled by posters who don't even support the club... And then the fans who love certain players rather than the club. Yes I'm old and I won't be missed but I already feel better letting go. Good luck fighting the good but ultimately doomed battle.
Thanks City for the best and worst times of my life but life is too short.
