If that happened I'd have to become a total neutral. I certainly couldn't switch loyalties to another team. I hate WH's current owners and manager (although still no problems with the actual fans as yet) but no way could I even consider supporting say Arsenal or Spurs or Man U or anyone else.
Saying all that, I'm not a 'proper' fan anymore anyway. I hardly ever go to watch them now so I'm the epitome of the 'armchair supporter' - the most money the team got from me this season was £5.99, for a mug. So I'm probably more a neutral now than anything anyway - more interested in the sport itself than the fortunes of a single club. But if anyone asked me who I support, it's West Ham, even if that's now only based on where I'm originally from, the team I used to watch as a kid and the name on the mug I drink from. I can't get on my high horse about this.
