The Special One has landed. Before hitting play, I noticed that this tape had 18,000 likes and 701 dislikes. Overwhelmingly appreciated, one could comfortably say?
Thinking about the ‘negative’ number for a moment, whilst comparatively small, isn’t this actually a weird thing?
That a video packed with nothing but positivity is actively disliked by fans?
Clearly many fans became emotionally invested in a perennial loser, and are now wary of a serial winner.
With any luck, the fan base can be healed by success. Surely 14th in the league is nothing to be grieved?
