I suspect this is the part of the picture that Bolton didn't get, and it probably cost him in the end.
In my opinion he was clearly too invested in the "Strength through adversity" stuff, so much so that he forgot people cannot be under duress 100% of the time without there being some negative effects!
I also attribute much of Nthmond's success to Dimma realising this, and when he did he sacked Choco and a bunch of other assistants, mostly to ensure he could free up the playing group to be human again without too many people wanting a piece of them!
This is a prime example of how people can be the real problem without any of them doing anything wrong!
