Especially after the ridiculous stunt that Jeff pulled last season with not bothering to even apply for the possibility of promotion, meaning that we had to beg the players to stay and morale being completely trashed.
It's incredible how he looked like a world beater for about 5 games, then looked like a carpet beater after that. And absolutely nothing since those five games too. Other than Tongo Doumbia, I can't think of another player with such a huge and clear drop-off who never showed anything again...
Flags down a high street put up by the shops to be welcoming is one thing.

The two cities might be in the same county, but they're a relatively long way apart. It's pretty much the same distance away as Coventry or Burton Albion...
You can go back even further than that. Other than Nuno, maybe Brian Little (though given Turner's relative success, probably not), definitely back to Ian Greaves. Before that, you're at Stan Cullis.
Never anything wrong with giving a damn about people.
Because we're all so emotionally invested in this, we do sometimes come across as conflating the player with the person - no-one does it deliberately, but you're right, we ought to try not to do it. "X is a coward" is an example - yes...
