Well there’s two points I was making.
1. Reading through the posts it is clear that a section of the fan base who didn’t want Ange sacked have been really anti-Frank. They never really got behind him.
Almost like they wanted him to fail so they could say: “see I told you…should have kept Ange”
2. If things like the placebo effect is proven. And even a doctor knowing whether a drug is real or a placebo has a proven effect (so they have to hide the placebo from the doctor too during medical studies: a double blind). Then it is an interesting question: did the divisive negative fans effect TS’ performance. Did it have no effect at all? Does having the fans fully onboard help a manager?
