Would you swap your favourite teams personality and heart to become a soulless, rich club like what happened to city?
Ya

it's not your club. it never was your club. you are just a fan whose job is to help fill the seats. you took no part in tue actual success of the club, took no part in the founding of the club and who the owners are and how much they spend is none of your business.
id say 99.99999% of a team's performance is based on the players and manager. the remaining 0.00001% is fans. which is pretty much nothing.

Football clubs exist FOR the fans, without the fans they wouldn't be possible, do you think City would be the club it is if the Etihad was empty every week?
>>64005073
No, if I wanted to just support some soulless organisation that I have no connection with I could just become a city fan.
I love my local club
>>64007519
Yes. Tickets sales are a mere drop in the bucket

What if a big strong American businessman who really somehow loved the club took over?

>relevant sporting opinion ever
HAH, middle earth is not a real place you fucking mong
>>64007533
I am not saying financially, of course ticket sales are nothing to them. but you take the atmosphere out of the stadium, take away all the people and who are the players playing for? the owner? the money? you'll find mercenaries in any sport but the majority are not THAT money hungry and would rather play somewhere which appreciates them than in an empty stadium as an oil barons play thing

This, faggots dont go to their local games but talk shit on people who actually care enough to be part of it, what do you expect though, the majority of this site is socially retarded turbovirgins that think their opinions are the most logical and everyone else is sheep
>>64007621
I'd hope you're right, but it is hard to say these days.
>>64005073
But being a soulless rich club is my favorite team's personality. It's been that way for more than a century now.

saying all that I would give anything for Villa to stay up this year

>do you think City would be the club it is if the Etihad was empty every week?
They seem to deal with that already

A billionaire owner who genuinely likes the team isn't common, though. People like Jack Walker (the guy who financed Blackburn's title) and the McCaskey/Halas family (founded the Chicago Bears nearly 100 years ago) are rare, you're more likely to see guys like Abramovich, Kroenke, and the government of the United Arab Emirates.

Not that Cavcav would let anyone touch his club, let alone muslim arabs but, let's weigh up the pros and cons
PROS
>a non istanbul club fucking shit up
>I don't have to watch matches expecting a low-mid/relegation battle
>could buy proper players instead of collecting old slavs
>beards would stop being banned
CONS
>19 mayıs would be a shopping mall
>beards are mandatory
>no more 300$ VIP season tickets
Real tough but, I'd take it

lol athletes and clubs do not give a fuck about you. they never have and never will. you a a dollar sign. nothing else but a fucking dollar sign. that "we" shit is meant to get more of you stupid dollar signs buying their shitty merchandise.
Arjen robben will still play for FC Bayern regardless of whether there are 3 fans at the game or whether there is a full house. those athletes don't give a fuck about you and never will. You are dollar signs
its like me going to McDonald's and cheering on the crew and saying > we are doing great > we are beating kfc
the crew simply is there to receive a paycheck, do their job and go home. they don't give a fuck about making me happy or whether the restaurant is a full or empty. just like the players. they play, get paid then go home to their big houses and pornstar gfs. they don't fucking care about the autistic fans
its fucking pathetic.
the athletes are there to get paid and to pkay the sport they love. the athletes are not there for you and they don't care what the fuck you think
in the same way as my McDonalds analogy the crew os there to get paid and work, they don't give a fuck whether its a full restaurant or empty.
