There is this football fan I don't understand?

Your friend is a true stoke city fan he always will be. But if they get relegated he will have to find a prem team that is just the way it works. So in the end you will just have to deal with him jumping boats based on how the teams do. he probably isnt a true fan but alot of people do the same thing. And he supports stoke now because they are back in the prem.
