I am sorry for him but that is the way the Premier League has become.
Maybe he should consider supporting FC United of Manchester instead? They are currently top of the Northern Premier League and in with a good chance of gaining promotion to National League North.
I have seen them play Southport a few times, most recently in a pre-season friendly last July. They always bring plenty of support and their supporters seem like a good crowd of people.
It looks like they have a good stadium as well.
