Ace 3,556 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Nobody knows the terms of Bain's contract, or the formalities required to sever it.If these haven't been followed properly, then Bain (as any employee) has the right to sue for wrongful dismissal.I would, however, assume that this will never get to court and will be settled in backrooms by lawyers.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Kev has stated nothing that is actionable and is merely asking questions so the site need not worry.That's like me saying that it is alleged by some that the bald ex-CEO has a secret vineyard stashed away in the south of France and it is also alleged that he has several Swiss bank accounts where it is alleged he washes money.I'm not saying that - it is merely alleged by some unknown individuals who passed it on and that I heard it from an eastern European-type stranger in a shoe shop. Bombaybadboy said he did and he wouldn't lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Neither Greig nor McLelland put their names to the statement. The others did.i am pretty sure mr whyte confirmed they all signed it over the weekend. he said bain could have survived like the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,249 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 What the fuck does Bain expect? If you bad mouthed your new boss when your company got taken over or whatever, would you expect to remain in the job?Bain needs to take a good look at himself.I would expect to be told I no longer had a job not read it in the papers.I would also expect to be told the reasons for and the terms of my dismissal.

He is suspended pending investigation. Even if he gets through the investigation okay, his position has now been made redundant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Not sure why Bain thinks he has a leg to stand on.Putting your name to a statement made on your company's public website effectively saying that you believe your new owner has purchased the business under false pretences would almost certainly count as gross misconduct.Mr Jones is probably correct, though, and a settlement will be reached just to reduce damage in the press.You need to have good legal cause to fire anyone from their Job. Whyte will have to prove gross misconduct which by not approving of a new owner is not. This will go to settlement. Its all a bit messy and very poorly dealt with. I would do the same if i was Bain. He has been besmirched on front of the entire country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian 4,281 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's been alleged Mr Whyte was gobsmacked when he uncovered some of Bains dodgy goings on.Allegedly electrical contractors working on the Giant TV Screen problem found that they were off due to them having no power connections.They traced the power cables and found they'd been rerouted to power the sunbed in Bains office.A quick glance at the leccy bills showed it was cheaper to axe Bain.It's no coincidence Mr Whyte announced they were putting up big screens again yesterday.You heard it here first.

BawdeepLoyal 94 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I wouldn't say he was the best Exec by any stretch but as far as I know he was honest and honourable and that says a lot about any man.For me personally,even just in light of the fact that he is a Bluenose earns him my best wishes and good luck, for at the end of the day, he will likely be back watching and cheering the team from the stands as we all do.I have heard a few rumours re the reasons behind his suspension, but of course none of that means that they are true.

OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Never liked Martin Bain. If he was a true Rangers man he wouldnt be taking us to court. Hes's all about the money and couldnt give a fuck about the fans. The bit about him having the backing of the fans is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
