Large section says the decision arrived too late
Many fans argued Russell Martin should never have been hired and that the change came far too late after the one to one draw with Falkirk. Several called him a serial loser and said the team had gone backwards. Others demanded accountability for the executives who made the appointment and worried about yet another search for a manager during the year 2025.
Anxieties about the future and the next appointment
Supporters voiced fears about who comes next and criticised club leadership for a lack of clear direction. Some described the football as the worst they had seen in decades and said the constant churn in the dugout is damaging ambitions for the season.
Minority urges patience despite poor form
A smaller group felt disappointed by the dismissal and believed Martin needed more time. A few admitted they originally wanted to give him a chance, then changed their minds after performances did not improve.
Bottom line from the stands
The dominant mood is relief mixed with frustration. Fans want swift clarity on the new coach, a coherent plan from the hierarchy, and a team that competes with energy and identity.
