What exactly are you supporting anymore? A pile of players with no connection or loyalty to the team or tradition of the club pulling on the sky blue shirt purely because they're being paid 100's of thousands to do so?
I mean how much can you change in a club before you take away the very things people loved the club for in the first place?
I supported City because they are Manchester's team, the team that represents the place that I was born and proud to be part of.
I was 6 at the time. All this philosophical sh*t about the soul of the club and the philosophy being the reason to support your team is bullsh*t, I can only imagine if that was your reason for supporting the blues that you got into football at a much later age which in itself I find strange. To me it says I supported City precisely because they were sh*t and the nice losers.
City are my club, irrespective of who plays for them, manages them or owns them and I want to see them WIN something in my lifetime.
The OP should imo should F8ck off and support someone else if he wants to destroy thousands of blues dreams in the name of being 'nice little City and everyone's favourite second team'
