| Title Edit: Keith Hill 20:09 - Sep 17 with 15002 views | rdaleouis |
I'm the biggest fan of Keith Hill and personally, I don't think there is any replacement who understands and can do as well with such a small budget as Hilly. But the start to the season has been really poor and I'm starting to see more and more people slating Keith Hill because of this and on Twitter, some are even calling him for to be sacked.
My question is, if we continue in this fashion and play poorly/lose against Gillingham; how long does Keith Hill have left before he gets the sack? I really think that if we sack him we'll never find a replacement worthy of his position and hopefully the board realises this but at the same time, we can't keep playing poorly and losing games.
What do you guys think? (Not trying to start a war, just want to find out where people stand with Keith and the start of the season) [Post edited 17 Sep 2017 21:45]

As long as he wants....... | | | |

So you don't think the board will sack him, even if pressure from fans are calling him for him to go? That's what I'm concerned about | | | |

No, he's got a five year contract. | |

Those calling for him to be sacked (if they exist) clearly haven't supported the club during the tenure of any other manager. | |

That's why he here for the long haul.........we can't afford to sack him on that contract. | | | |

We could go down bottom of the division and I personally wouldn't sack him. | |

He's here for the long haul because he's the best man for the job. | |

Strange that we've had a number of first-time posters subtlely (or not so) suggesting Hill's time is up. | | | |

I'm not suggesting his time is up? Just opening up a discussion.
I'm glad so many people are with me that Keith is the right man for the job because there are a few calling for him to go on Twitter every time we lose a game | | | |

Twitter is full of the type who engage typing hand before brain.
I was called a Scottish weirdo on Twitter yesterday. They were half right. | |

If we ever heard loud chants of lots of people in the stands chanting "Keith Hill out" the board might have to think about it I suppose. But seeing that will probably never happen it's probably irrelevant. Have you got a pretend banner by any chance? | | | |

Yeah I hope so, what's a pretend banner? | | | |

id take no notice.....they will all just gang up on you.
IMHO, the start is pretty much the same as a few times over the last 5 or 6 years.
i think mr hills job is safe. | | | |

I don't see any need for people to have a go at rdaleouis. He's raised a question and clearly isn't advocating that we should do anything but support KH, although he might've phrased the OP title a bit better
Social media plays such a significant factor in the lives of the younger generation (and some older ones too, no doubt) and along with 'fake news' will increasingly generate this type of speculation. If, as i'm assuming, rdaleouis is aged below 25 then that's just the way the world looks and it's not an attempt at trolling
(If, on the other hand, rdaleouis is say, 30+, then he's clearly an idiot!) | |

I wouldn't say social media is exclusively the domain of under 25s, it's used widely by all ages and demographics.
I'm not having a go at rdaleouois, just pointing out that a lot of people using Twitter use it the same way people do a football forum. People calling for Hill's head via social media are not to be taken as any kind of yardstick.
As Roccy says, if the folk in the stands begin chanting 'Hill out' at games, that would be telling. It won't happen, though. Too many of us remember Graham Barrow. | |

Why would your 1st ever post on this forum be "how long has Hilly got left"? - it's obviously a non Dale fan causing mischief. | |

Thank you! I am 17 haha and just wanted to open out the discussion to see other people's viewpoints. Glad that not everybody thinks that I am a troll :) Sorry, the title was worded badly, if there is any way of changing it I will but I'm new to posting here | | | |

One of my friends kept raving about Game of Thrones and told me I had to watch it.
We tend to like the same things, so I put it on once and watched about half-an-hour of one episode, but didn't like it, so I haven't watched it since.
Obviously, it has a big following and is very popular, but isn't for everyone. | |

I can assure you I'm a dale fan. My first game was against Aldershot when we won 3-1, I was at Wembley against Stockport and I was there the first we got back promoted against Northampton. I also was mascot for us when we played against Oldham 3/4 years ago. (I also have Will Buckley and Chris Dagnall's signatures haha)
I'm sorry if I've come across as a troll, I just wanted to open up a discussion.. | | | |

I think there is a way to do it, but I'm not sure how. Send a PM to ColDale - he's the main man round these parts. | |

And also in the run up to a meaningless game against Bury, coincidence? | |

"I wouldn't say social media is exclusively the domain of under 25s, it's used widely by all ages and demographics."
My post included: "Social media plays such a significant factor in the lives of the younger generation (and some older ones too, no doubt)"
For someone trained in journalism, that's poor fitz, very poor | |
