In regards to the fanbase and whether this has been irreparable damage, I don't think so. And this is gonna go back to Mark Donovan and how good he is at his job, but if you fire this football side regime this offseason, bring in a big name coach, draft a QB first overall, this city will absolutely go back to being the full on ravenous fanbase that it desperately wants to be.
Put a winner on the field and this city will be there in droves. It's nuts about its sports teams.
This is something that Pioli has pissed down his leg on. The city wants to feel like its part of the team. Thats what made the 90's so special. Like previously mentioned, the fanbase felt it had a direct hand in winning and losing and took losing personal. It doesn't take much for that to happen, access to the team wise. But completely turning them off to the fans has turned the fanbase against them, which in this town is harder to do than putting a winner on the field.
