What's the general feeling amongst Evertonions regarding City as a club and our supporters?
I dated a scouse bird about 6 years ago when our corrupt(then) owner Thai Franky was at the club, and all her family accepted me as a Manc blue, saying we were the true Manchester team. I guess general opinion has changed somewhat since ADUG bought us. I'm 50 now and I have seen a lot of poor City teams suffer many humiliating defeats over the years, and although we are a long way from where we were back then, I sometimes feel uneasy about our wealth when the likes of you lot cannot compete financially. I am also uneasy with all the glory hunting camera clicking day trippers we are now attracting, and some of the younger fans are becoming smug and arrogant, but it is deffo not what us old school fans are about. But hey, it's all about money nowadays unfortunately, and before we were bought out, I honestly thought I could snuff it without ever seeing my beloved team win another trophy since the old league cup we won in '76.
I watch Everton play and sometimes think, we were like you, behind our team as one for the right reasons... Don't get me wrong, most of us have humility and dignity, remembering all too well where we were not too long ago, especially whilst languishing amongst the dead men of the old 3rd division..
I wish you and your proud club success in the future as you deserve a share of the silverware I think. But, if you do get bought out and start winning trophies, then your hopes and dreams will come true as mine have. However, we are unfortunately morphing into the monster that we hated across town, and I am a bit uneasy being priced out of my seat by some more affluent JCL, despite us loyal supporters being one of the main reasons our owners decided to invest in us in the first place!
I miss the bad old Days of Maine road, alas, but we are keeping up with the Joneseys of the premier league now and watching your team win trophies is a lot better feeling than watching your team get thrashed by Bury and Stockport I suppose! lol.
