Fan of him vs Fan of his
I have recently found the following. I do know the first sentence is wrong.
(1) "I am not a fan of him."
Meaning : I am not his fan.
(2) I am not a fan of his.
Meaning : I am not one of his fans.
But this is controversial. Are they correct? Some people say YES YES YES; others say NO NO NO. Please clarify it.

(1) is not correct. (the so-called accusative pronoun) (2) is correct. (the so-called possessive (or genitive) pronoun) See That post does not resolve the issue once and for all, but you may find it somewhat interesting.
