TBF there's already a few people on here saying while they voted Donald out, they don't agree with that statement.

This poll isn't about the statement, although knowing this place it probably wouldn't change too much.



Fair enough. Mind, just because people used the hashtag, doesn't mean they agreed with it. I'm sure some people thought it was related to Trump as well (as is the way of Twitter)

Quite possibly. That said, it created quite the stir and, during the time I followed it, the vast majority of the retweets (and I obviously didn't see them all) were Sunderland related.

15k is around 50% of our home attendance and that many supported the statement put out on social media through Twitter. If the result was the other way round I wonder if you'd be as dismissive?

It's an immediate reaction and I don't know whether someone thinking this though more might have a different opinion after taking stock. Going by people who I speak to at work theres going to be quite a few supporters who don't do the smb or Twitter who's views aren't captured.

I daresay if there was a snap Twitter poll after every defeat on wether the manager at that time should be sacked or if a certain player was shit the majority of responders would be sack/shit not keep/he's good.

I don't think Donald is right for the club and that hasn't changed since near the end of last season. Many feel the same. He's said he will sell, so the next step is in his hands. It's not up to the disgruntled fans to orchestrate the actual sale itself but the boss who has now agreed to do so. My opinion was based on evidence I could long discern and my wish to have Donald go was not a snap decision.

482 votes ...... hardly representing the 25,000 plus who attend every fortnight.

Just like these fans group don’t necessarily represent the silent majority.

Because it's hard to choose the right one for your own personal feelings. I voted Donald out (as a Season Card holder) because, long term, this seems best for the club. Who takes over though is anyone's business. And what they'll achieve is a completely different matter.

:lol: If the poll was reversed youd use it as proof that the fanzines were wrong. Its impossible to get a sample size the same size as the crowd man.

They poll like 4,000 voters before an election result is revealed and generally the results from that exit poll give a pretty solid and usually correct view of what is about to happen. That's a sample of a few thousand from double figure millions. :lol: The people knocking the results thus far are just the ones who don't agree with the way it's going.
 
Will it matter? If someone new takes over it won't be long before fans are against them. Cowie, Murray, Quinn, Short, Donald. That's 40 years of different owners. What makes anyone think another owner will do things better?

To be fair (and I'm not worried about SMB Sample size or composition - and I voted for SD to stay) the exit polls in a general election are conducted in very carefully pre-selected locations.
