I agree that a hit to fan interest months after releasing a popular player makes little sense. The game needs a trigger for the event other than the FA singing with another club.
And at the risk of going a bit off topic, I do think there should be a significant bonus to fan interest/loyalty based on a player hitting career milestones (3000 hits etc.), especially if the player has been with a single franchise for an entire career. This would also make it a little easier to resign that aging super-star to a contract you know is above market value.
