The reason behind the hatred I believe is largely down to your analogy: Tim's got an internship as managing director at huge company with no prior experience. He has then proceeded to self-promote (mainly BS) to the detriment of his staff and his employers, shows no gratitude to be in the undeserved position he finds himself in (even acts like he's owed something) and performs fine (but by no means great) with the routine tasks and fails at the big tasks and in all this still has the gall to state he's better than all his predecessors.
It is widely believed that he was the main leak from the club during the AVB days and as such the media, who whilst not our competitors are definitely our enemies, have given him a better write up than most would get but even now they're starting to turn.
Agree that the club should've handled it better and actually saved him from himself.
Btw - I don't begrudge him for taking the job
