Behind the scenes I’m sure he is. The naivety of some on here takes my breath away though.
People are thick as shit and run with whatever the general consensus on social media media is and that's driven by a media narrative that is put out purely to stole the flames and drum up the fury and interest of the unintelligent. It's happened for years and years and not just with football.
People can be convinced of almost anything and don't do any fact checking or investigation to verify anything. You only have to look at the amount of reposted articles with sensationalist titles and when you read the article it actually doesn't make the point the idiot posting it thought but they hadn't read the article, they just reposted the headline and that's enough for them.
Then throw in that people generally don't like to go against the grain and will tend to follow the general popular opinion and you've got a bunch of stupid sheep. You see it all the time on here and other forums, one pundit says something,it gets clipped up and posted on Twitter and all of a sudden whatever phrase they used is being repeated. Even people's language is so easily manipulated. That's why propaganda is so effective, Germany managed to do it extremely well prior to the second world war and managed to convince pretty much an entire nation that Jews were the enemy. Extreme example but history is absolutely littered with people's opinions or mindsets being set for them by external sources or parties. Whether that's the media, a government, a religion etc.
Ole being a 'puppet' is a current popular buzz phrase. The more people see someone using this, the more they repeat it. Stupid people are easily led and we have a lot of stupid fans. As do other clubs to be fair.
