Martin Bain loved nobody but himself, he loved the limelight people in his position should be behind the scenes but he couldn't help hog the lime light. He thought he was a celebrity. Sold players for way less than they were worth i.e Arteta, useless lady's front bottom.Watching Sunderland till I die and can see Martin Bain is heavily involved and heard in season two he has a cryotherapy chamber only he uses. I was a wee bit too young to know what he did around our club so can someone fill me in with some of his stupidity at rangers?
He seems a grade A tadger, proper cluelessMartin Bain loved nobody but himself, he loved the limelight people in his position should be behind the scenes but he couldn't help hog the lime light.

An incompetent cúnt with an ego and wee man syndrome.Feel free to fill me in on Jimmy Sinclair too please!
I’d assume he’s responsible for the nick of our academy until recently?An incompetent cúnt with an ego and wee man syndrome.
YesI’d assume he’s responsible for the nick of our academy until recently?
It’s actually incredible we made it as far as 2012 with him and Murray in chargePrior to being at Rangers he was a really crap catalog model.
According to some former players when he first became involved with Rangers he was a general dogsbody, he was responsible for cleaning players cars and the like.
To their amazement when they returned years later he had worked his way up to be working alongside the board.
He was typical Murray regime, had no understanding of the fans, wasn't interested in defending the fans when the media were taking pot shots, only came to arms if something was written that would look bad on Murray International Holdings, didn't like employing fans because "they care too much", referred to us as Ibrox FC in an interview once, and generally seemed to like selling our players for about 1/4 of what we would have got for them in the market at the time.
Just to name a few.
Very much soHe was a vain prick.
Don't forget his job as a barman at John Street Jam in Glasgow.Went from being a lager rep and cardigan model to running most successful club in the world. Unsurprisingly, he was out of his depth and shite.
He was Murrays puppet and general skivvy.
correct, wanker of a guy who deserved a crackHe was Murrays puppet and general skivvy.
He wasnt even that usefulImo he was a used car salesman
Bain had left the club in May 2011 - no sure how he can be blamed for this?25th of January 2012 , rejects 7.5 million for jelavic , sells him for 5 million 2 days later. Bain was a puppet who was content doing Murray’s dirty work and getting paid handsomely for it
There's an interview in Spiersy's (I know!) PLG book with the Austria Vienna GM where he says something along the lines of Bain was by the far the easiest negotiator to manipulate and take the piss out of. Guy said he couldn't believe how easy it was to get Bain to keep bidding more and more.
I think he said we ended up paying over 4 times what we originally valued Sebo at, and well over what t Austria Vienna would have happily sold him for.
He seems a grade A tadger, proper clueless
Let's not create fantasy stories. Bain was never at any point washing players cars ffs.Prior to being at Rangers he was a really crap catalog model.

My bad I was only 11, naturally assumed he was still thereBain had left the club in May 2011 - no sure how he can be blamed for this?
