A team's relationship with its customers - the season ticket holders - is its own business. If their fans are patient enough for a rebuild, then why should other teams care? If they're not, then ownership will find out in a hurry. It's worth keeping in mind that sustained mediocrity can turns fans off more than a team that sucks but offers reasons for optimism in the future. Fans around here, for instance, seem a lot happier than they were three years ago.
