I’ve been thinking lately about how much fans lean into the "fresh start" narrative whenever a team undergoes a massive overhaul. It’s the classic cycle: a few big names leave, the squad is basically rebuilt from scratch, and everyone starts talking about "potential" and "new energy." It sounds great on paper, but honestly, it usually just feels like a recipe for chaos.
I remember watching a team a few years back that went through the exact same thing. They lost their backbone—the guys who actually knew how to win—and replaced them with a bunch of unproven talent. For the first month, it was all hype, but once the season actually got physical and the pressure mounted, that lack of continuity bit them hard. You can't just replace experience with "excitement" and expect the same results.
Do you think a complete squad turnover actually helps a team reset, or is it usually just a sign of instability?
