Mentally that is the institution for me, past, present the future, culture, values - owners and players are incidental as far as I'm concerned if either don't serve the institution then they are fair game. For example i think Moshiri is a pox, but ill be on a massive downer tomorrow if we get beat by Bourmouth, because my support and loyalty always goes to the institution - if that's threatened there is a bite - that is protecting the institution.
Maybe the initial point was a bit ridiculous and binary.
I can very easily separate the owner and players from the institution, they are functionaries as far as i am concerned.
