Pantomime villains Mesut Ozil and Emmanuel Adebayor were born an era too late ✒️ danielstorey85
One of the paradoxes of modern fandom is that the age of information and privacy erosion should afford more patience. We all go through some stuff, we all know how that stuff can affect our professional and personal lives and we know what these two people went through, ergo we can understand that they might peak and trough, wax and wane? Err, no.
Money made a difference to the debate, obviously. In no other industry does this happen quite like this, but then in no other industry is there such loyalty between supporter and institution . Both Ozil and Adebayor were paid handsomely and at certain points continued to be paid handsomely when their use to the team decreased. But it’s funny how you only ever hear about that when it sours, a cousin of what we might call the “…Pictured just hours after” media culture. These are young men, thrown into a limelight for which they have little preparation. They do not ask for fame per se and few revel in it; fewer still are adequately prepared for it.
