Not exactly sure why there's so much animosity for a bloke who was (as far as I could see) just carrying out orders

Aye I think Bain's job was a tough one because he was the public face of Short's penny pinching and people mistakenly blamed him for it.

I don't know if he did a good job or not, only the club's finances under his tenure will attest to that and I don't think we've seen them yet. Either way by all accounts he put a shift in and tried his best so cheers to him.

You're right I bet it broke his heart to do it. I just hope he was compensated the best part of 3 million for his torment....
Totally irrelevant now - any bonuses/compo Bain was paid were from Short's pocket - no longer anything to do with the club. SAFC have made the position completely redundant - no CEO at the club

Besides - he was better in the batman films

I've not seen that one yet but I've heard he wears a mask so at least you don't have to see his **** eating grin <cheers>

Be surprised if Methven isn't installed as his replacement.
Legally they can't appoint a CEO as Bain has been made redundant - you have to make a post redundant not a person and he wasn't "Fired"

Clear out is underway mind as Jimmy Sinclair has gone from the youth setup too

I don't know the ins and outs of employment law (and not that interested) but I'd be surprised if Methven doesn't take over his 'duties'.

For what it's worth, I don't lay any blame at his door, he was like many before him, boxing with both hands tied behind his back.
 
Now to clear out some of our hangdog squad.
Our new broom isn't hanging about sweeping clean, it's a welcome early sign.

I wonder if Rodwell is hanging around in a bad reception area for mobile phones - decided to recuperate from his latest injury in a remote area of the Lake District
 
Good riddance, one down, now for those players who have conned a good living (fortune in some cases) since arriving, but have at last become redundant by their own efforts, or lack of effort in one particular case. <ok>

Couldn't stand the guy myself....yes I understand the arguments from both sides. Another positive step forward for the club in my opinion. Now let's sack Rodwell.....new broom and all that!
