Bain Gets Nearly £500k Of Gers Money Frozen

[MosesMcNeil 1,664]

We would all do the same thing if we were in Bain's shoes.

Speak for yourself. A man lucky enough to have been made a millionaire by the club he ‘loves’, not only seeking bonus payments for competitions we have not appeared in, but also now putting the boot in.

I’d never do what Bain has done to The Rangers. And I’ll never understand why he’s doing what he is.

[Leeds_Bear 8,166]

That's an interesting pay hike for one person, considering the total increase.

That is what I thought, but we don't know all the ins and outs. I was adamant I had read a quote from Whyte about it, but i could be wrong.

[KeepBelieving1872 64]

35% pay rise taking his salary to £633000 including a bonus. His bonus stayed the same but he had a substantial pay rise.

The thing that annoys me about the court papers is that Bain is suggesting there is a clear risk of insolvency but was happy to take a massive payrise at a time when insolvency was also a possibility.

On that fact alone I think Rangers' lawyers should argue that it's misconduct in his role as chief executive, obviously along with the board who must have approved it.

The court papers give example of small payments not being paid on time but it's clear the real risk of insolvency comes from the large tax case which Bain and the board knew about when they authorised the pay rises.

Whyte was correct to get rid and hope he proves this in court.

He could retire to a private island in the Pacific Ocean with the money we have paid him over the years.

Hopefully some island off Kenya............................................

[Leeds_Bear 8,166]

pretty much. they have reported bonuses as a pay rise.

its happened before.

Why is Alistair Johnston defending his pay rise and not his bonus, what was his salary in the reports released, around that sum was it not?

This.

IF he was a Rangers man he would have stayed on his current waged and allowed the club to try and 'live within its means' rather than getting a gold plated sunbed installed at home.

I'd agree wae this. If there was a genuine risk of insolvency in the near future, then why did he take a pay rise?

He could possibly be held responsible for a dereliction of duty towards the shareholders?

Rangers was Bain's job at the end of the day.

I'm not a lawyer but dereliction of duty seems a reasonable approach to take in terms of justifying terminating his contract.

The fact Bain submitted papers claiming risk of insolvency might also work in Rangers favour on that basis!

whyte might be considered a hostile witness in this case.

[delamonty 992]

Bain is just a greedy incompetent c*nt.

Putting our great club under more pressure when we can ill afford it? He will need to leave Scotland -- soon. This is definitely not cool on his part.

What the f*ck did he ever do anyway to justify that massive salary? Buy players at inflated prices... sell players too cheap. etc. etc.

Might get Serena Williams to have a 'word' with him. :-)

I am not saying to use Whyte in court, my point is a little more simple than that. If Bain did this he is more of a wanker/cunt/greedy fucker than any of us had previously thought.

[Skelf 1,153]

Thats a cracking idea, lets sing about an ex Rangers employer when we are playing the manky mob. They have already had enough laughs over the last month or so.

I think Martin bain is a wanker but, to sing it against the manky would just be stupid would it not?

Thats just like timmy singing John reid yer a wanker, yer a wanker. we would be laughing at the cunts if they sang this.

If they were singing that about reid we would probably join in

[King_gazza 1,065]

Bain is a complete prick of a guy.

Me & my mate met him after we draw away 1-1 with motherwell 2 seasons ago (boyd scored the equaliser). He was coming out the main stand with John Greig & both them just blanked us & walked on by
