And how many people were asked in that survey?

Because that might be telling.

If it's more than; say; 5000. Then I'll agree you have a point.

But if it's a couple of hundred then really it's no different to a poll on here.

Small sample, they always are.

Then again, the first Poll on here around the same time was around 88% was it IIRC and I'm sure there were well over 700 votes.

I don't think you will ever get a bigger sample.

On the flip side, have you ever seen a poll where more than 50% want kean to stay?

The protests have made a martyr of Kean. The national press sympathizes with Kean and some corners have demonized the protesters.

Rubbish. At the end of the season the pundits/media will conveniently forget about the protests. As they reflect on Rover's relegation, they will advise us that in their opinion, October/November was plenty of time to see that Kean wasn't up to the job. They will then proceed to castigate the owners for lack of action. There will be no mention of the protesters they called 'numptys'

Basic statistics; you don't need a huge sample size to effectively reflect an outcome which is likely 95% accurate. 500-700 votes, even taking into account that those against Kean are much more motivated to participate in a poll, is more than sufficient to validate what we already know from anecdotal evidence. A lot of people want to get rid of him and virtually nobody thinks he's doing a "great" job.
