Would you still support City if....?

I belive the phrase is "Once a blue, always a blue"

...in January we signed the whole Brazilian national team including subs and Phil Scolari as manager, and released all of our current players and manager except the Brazilians we've already got?

I know this is fiction but what I'm trying to find out is would you still support City if there was no English or local connection left at the club?

On the one hand, for years I've been mocking rags for not coming from Manchester, and proud of City being my local club with homegrown fans and lots of homegrown players.

But football has changed, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to support a team with absolutely no local or English connection anymore. Because this could happen in a year or so.

City will ALWAYS be city, regardless of where the players come from. IIRC, during the Kendall (aka Judas) and Reid eras, we were more like the blue dippers than Everton were themselves. It was still city though.

you can't use that!!!!!
lol
not when the guy who said it went on to play for the rags

So, I have no local connection with City.
I couldn't care less if the players are Brazilian, English, or Pakistani. They play for Manchester City, that's enough.

We can't release any players or Hughes and his staff.

No of the contracts run out in Jan, except the loan player who's is up at the end of Dec.

How do you 'stop supporting City'???

Its not optional depending on circumstance.

You can disown anything and anyone if the cicumstances are extreme enough.

But when that sky-blue blood runs through your sky-blue veins.............. City Till I Die!!!

It is what it is and cannot ever be changed, no matter what.

I think i would still support City, but not with the same passion anymore. My support would be diluted.

 

[zeusbheld]

if they brought the Brazilian womens' beach volleyball players with them i expect i could even muster a great deal of enthusiasm.

I will NEVER stop supporting Manchester City, I don't care what nationality the players and
staff are (or owners).
I doubt Arsenal fans are too pissed off with the trophies and dazzling football.
Think of the "football" that the professional Englishman Stuart Pearce laid on for us, that
included local and academy players.
