Undermined by its own last sentence

We all know that "our" players are just mercenaries thinking about what's best for them

But there is a willing suspension of disbelief, so we pretend that they love us and the team, and they pretend they do, and neither side shatters the illusion

When one of the biggest hero figures goes public with his utter indifference to us (transfer request, tweeting) then the bond breaks

WFLGH, but not quite as much as we did before and not in quite the same way
