With a regular attendance in excess of 6,000 not counting people like myself who are fans but can't attend, please define a "vast majority". There are a few hundred on here who apparently want Caldwell out which frankly is a minute minority. Can we get out of the habit of considering our individual prejudices being used to speak on behalf of the whole fan base.
Can‘t you ever extrapolate results? If you asked 500 people and 400 said they wanted him gone you might reasonably assume 80% of fans want him gone. Just because you didn’t ask the other 5500 doesn’t now mean that 400 want him gone but 5600 want him to stay. You could say, looking at the poll results, there are only a handful who want him to stay so that must mean the rest want him gone.
And you can't dish out infraction points to the manager for upsetting the Exeweb massive......
Your supposition would depend entirely on the cross section of people you survey and how random they were. If you make a decision based on your scenario you could make all kinds of mistakes. If I go into a pub and ask whether those present agree with drinking alcohol, there would no doubt be an almost 100% in favour. If I do the same in an AA meeting, I would get a very different result. Either would provide data that was totally unreliable to apply to the general population.
Careful there, he's a fantastic guy and a brilliant bloke which is much more important than being a decent footballer.
I suggested merely that just because you’ve taken the numbers on here and not included everyone else then it must be flawed. i repeat, just because, say, 400 say go and 100 say stay yet 5500 weren’t asked doesn’t necessarily mean 5600 would say stay, you could equally suggest that it might mean that 5900 say go and only 100 say stay. You’re just looking at figures and interpreting them to suit your own view.
Thw first poster was wrong about Jeannin
This data stuff is really mind numbing
