As an additional point, it is clear to me that there is a difference in Gary's mentality between his first and second term. In his first term he was more resigned to let others dictate things that he should have been responsible for. He wasn't fully in control. I think he will acknowledge that he lost control of the squad after the first player exodus following the Grand Final, when all the senior players were unhappy with the way the club was being run. He didn't attempt to reassert his control and he got punished for it with a wooden spoon.
It is clear from the way he firstly treated Wehrman and other players that he is not going to make that mistake again. Unfortunately Werhman bore the brunt (was the scapegoat) for this new resolution. But it is the same resolution you see in Ange. Maybe people aren't willing to see that kind of resolution in him. Ange seems more of a charismatic leader and so he is free to throw his weight around a bit more with less objection.
My point is that he obviously learnt a lesson from his first spell at the Jets, that haters are still punishing him for to suit their agenda.
