New fan?

How does Man City for example represent the people of Manchester? Foreign owners, foreign staff, foreign players. If they win anything the local community gets no credit

I support my local team but it's more to do with how they just happened to be the first team I started supporting as a kid since they were easily accessible than them representing my town or anything like that. It wouldn't bother me if people from outside of town supported them. That said, I think Irish people should support the Irish league but I don't care what Irish team they choose
