I have to think it was the latter; that the "humane" aspect would speak to consumers overall, even if it meant a drop in sales in AB. To be fair to the B.Comms (Finance, 1990), has it been proven that this strategy hasn't worked?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
