Today's game?Your probably right.. probably shows what’s wrong with today’s game where fans would rather let there dislike of a person come before wether or not that person would make there club and team better... heart over head me thinks.
I shudder to think what would have happened in the so-called "good ol day's" had a similar appointment been attempted somewhere.
Supporting a team is an emotional experience so it is always going to be "heart over head" otherwise most teams would have no supporters at all.
