And he’s got the support of that mindless, ignorant crowd he lost last night... a crowd he could easily win back by the time European competition rolls around this spring. Regardless of what we actually think of those people, staying in their good graces makes life much easier...
Robert Adams6, this is just my two cents; I'm not claiming to be right. It feels like there's nothing left for you to gain, and anything that happens is bound to go against your interests. Surely you won't spend 90 minutes cheering against Mamić (God forbid I'm wrong), and I assume you'll still find your voices for Real Madrid—even if your hearts aren't in it. I suspect the players would rather take the pitch without you than with you, though in reality, they couldn't care less about any of us. That's how I see it...
Anyway, not that it matters; my specific fan group isn't the point here. I wish you all the best in this world; you're going to need it...
Exactly like the Bad Boys wouldn't have seen any real success if they had a massive following behind them. They don't. Part of it is due to how they fight, (and the subsequent crackdowns that look a lot like what PSG goes through),
and part of it is because everything seems to work in his favor; since he faced boycotts, he just had to dump more money into the squad, the stadium, and "marketing."
I hear you, but the Bad Boys are essentially a supporter group whose only remaining purpose is traveling for away games. Of course, they'll sing their songs and praise Real Madrid, but not to help the club advance. Moving into the Champions League would just be another massive win for him—millions poured into continuing the business, where the actual results on the pitch matter far less than the bottom line.
In fact, any chaos caused by the Bad Boys serves as a major victory for him, and they should be well aware of that.
