Well your framing is wrong, so I can see why you’re so confused.
Everyone wanted them both gone. They are tired of the duo and if you told most fans that both bean and McD were fired, they’d be happy. Time to move on.
However, since the situation turned out to be McD out, bean becomes supreme leader, people’s position, IN THE GIVEN REALITY, had to shift.
The question is no longer, clean slate, start over or not, it’s we have to keep one and put them in charge of everything.
But you must keep one. Most people are choosing McD over bean.
So yes. We all prefer a clean slate. But given that’s not one of the options, people are settling on the least of two evils.
Given beans ego and poor roster, and McD’s supposed over performance, most are choosing McD, but does not make them McD guys.
Hope that helps.
