People disliked Benitez because of what he did to their club. They took hope from the fact that he was interim. They hoped he would go sooner and partied when he left. Their anger was because of their loyalty to the club and did not change that loyalty. As has been said, owners, managers and players come and go, supporters remain.
That said, the chap who used to sit next to me at Stamford Bridge and who did so for many years stopped going and never returned (despite still having a soon ticket) when I told him, during Avram Grant's tenure, that Abramovich was Jewish. Then again, that is not the type of person we want. He has probably gone to West Ham.
