I referred also to the Cowsheds poll, which covers a wide cross section of our supporters, and that was even more unanimous than the Twitter one.I don't think a poll created by a disgruntled twitterati, limited to twitterati and distributed largely amongst his network of probably-like-minded twitterati, can really be considered random or representative.
It's certainly the case that Mr Hill isn't universally popular, and I doubt anyone's satisfied with how we ended the season, though we don't need Twitter polls to tell us any of that.
I agree, but I still think there are concerns regarding recruitment, playing style and long term form that have to be considered.None of us know the contract small print but allegedly Keith will automatically get another year if he takes us up. And to be fair it would be job done as far as he’s concerned. He may not be popular even with Palios especially after the demotion comments he made yesterday, but if he gets us up no matter how unattractive it may be, he will have achieved what he was brought in to do.
Mark said at the time of the appointment that if we get promoted then the contract is automatically extended by a year.None of us know the contract small print but allegedly Keith will automatically get another year if he takes us up.

Is that actually in his contract though, or is it just a verbal promise ? I don't think anybody really knows.Mark said at the time of the appointment that if we get promoted then the contract is automatically extended by a year.
Mark said it was, but I think regardless of promotion or not he won't be here next seasonIs that actually in his contract though, or is it just a verbal promise ? I don't think anybody really knows.
Because of issues related to reach. Plenty of articles out there explaining more about the statistical insignificance of twitter polls.And I still don't see any reason why a poll of people registered on Twitter - who after all, are real people and just ordinary supporters - would not be representative when it extends to several hundred people. I recognise many of the Tranmere supporters with Twitter accounts, and they are regulars who go home and away.
I did not see 270 people on Twitter issuing abuse to Keith Hill when he was appointed, but perhaps you saw something I did not. It was a minority that acted aggressively when he arrived.Because of issues related to reach. Plenty of articles out there explaining more about the statistical insignificance of twitter polls.
I go home and away and never saw this poll. We could even run a poll amongst all those Twitter folk you recognise from home and away to see if they received this poll!
Either way, in the grand scheme of things it has little more than gossip value and doesn't tell us anything we wouldn't have expected anyway. If they'd run a similar poll on the day Hill was appointed they'd have probably got a similar result, so I doubt the Palii are bothered about it.
Regardless of peoples take on such polls its fairly clear hes not very popular amongst a number of fans.You say the Cowsheds "covers a wide cross section of our supporters", I've heard others say rather differently.
I've never been on it, so don't know. Which trumps your best guess about why I didn't respond to the point you're still labouring.
Regardless, their worth is gossip value, nothing more.

It has a large membership, and posters of a variety of backgrounds and attitudes.
Any population sample is limited, but they still tell us something (eg. opinion polling). I think it is highly unlikely, given that 80% of respondents on the biggest Tranmere forum don't want Hill, that a majority of the 5,000 in fact do want him as manager.
We can certainly agree on 'many' (#180)We will have to agree to disagree.
All I was ever trying to say is that Hill is unpopular with many (a majority ?) of our supporters.
