Rangers board to IGNORE fans as Russell Martin backed

Rangers board confirmed once again their backing for Russell Martin despite growing unrest among the fans. The manager will not be moving from his post any time soon. This decision has stunned supporters who expected change after another poor performance. As Ibrox Noise highlighted after recent humiliation, the board remains unmoved.

Board refuses to act

Supporters hoped pressure would force a decision but the hierarchy remains unmoved. The board refuses to bow to fan opinion and still gives Martin the trust he arguably does not deserve. Many recall past eras when the board acted swiftly during crises. Yet Ibrox Noise has insisted that Martin is living on borrowed time. The refusal to act has left Rangers supporters feeling powerless and more divided than ever.

Fans left furious

Rangers fans are furious that no action will come soon. The side struggles in the league yet the manager remains safe. Supporters see no evidence of tactical improvement or consistency. They look at rivals who act decisively and wonder why Rangers persist with stagnation. That anger spreads online and at Ibrox during matches. Ibrox Noise’s Russell Martin coverage shows the scale of frustration and the growing calls for change. However the board stays loyal and insists stability is best for the club.

Consequences of loyalty

The consequences of this loyalty may prove severe. Dropped points have already cost Rangers ground in the league and fans fear European collapse next. The Guardian’s coverage shows how damaging the results have become for Martin’s position. The board gambles that he will turn things around despite all evidence. If results do not improve, pressure will reach boiling point.

At that stage the board may be forced to reconsider its stance. ESPN recently reported Martin refused to resign after the latest defeat. For now the gamble continues and Rangers face a storm of criticism from supporters.

This decision echoes previous board mistakes when loyalty replaced ambition. Transfermarkt analysis shows sack calls gathering pace. Rangers cannot afford more wasted seasons but the directors do not seem to share that urgency. Supporters feel disconnected and ignored.

Every setback magnifies the tension and every silence from the board strengthens the feeling of betrayal. Rangers must win convincingly to calm the fury but few expect Martin to deliver. Until change comes the disconnect between club and fans will only grow.

Rangers board confirmed again their backing for Russell Martin and the saga drags on. Fans remain angry and restless while the manager clings to power.
