The petition at change.org has received 179 signatures overnight after City lost 2-1 at home to Mansfield Town on Saturday to go bottom of the League Two table. However, while some fans support the idea of a change of manager, Tisdale received a plenty of support from Grecians on social media. Below are some of the responses to the idea of a petition to oust the City boss.

Those 4 years of success were all delivered by the current manager. Why would I sign a petition to sack him #LookAtTheBiggerPicture#ecfc

"Remove Paul Tisdale as Manager of ECFC" Not impressed - no manager will work miracles, we have a young inexperienced side #ecfc

Worrying times at @OfficialECFC, some serious footballers coming through the academy lets hope we can turn it around. #inTiswetrust#ecfc

Some other fans admitted that fighting among themselves was not the way forward.

I think #ecfc fans could respect each other's views a bit at this tough time. Seen name calling against those who won't sign / will sign.

Had a couple good debates tonight with fellow #ecfc fans, we may not all agree, but one thing we do have in common....We love our club UTC

Fans need to unite and get behind the team, it's not the time for infighting. #ecfc#siege
