But just speaking for myself, not even for all fans, all I hope for is a team to follow that's overtly improving. It wasn't the results that ruined last season for me, it was the feeling that the team was doing stupid things, backing themselves into a corner and had doors closing all around them. In short, it seemed like hope was dying. This off-season has done much to restore some of my optimism.
The negativity I had in mind was negativity from fanbase. Speaking on your specific example, I think you will have very similar feelings, if team will be losing more than winning. Luka will be a whining brat and similar for every player.
