BBC Newcastle tonight 5.30 full interview with Martin Bain

[Fact Hunt]

This whole thing has been set up to give him a platform to protect his own reputation for the future should new owners come in. And the worst thing is he's been totally allowed to do it.

What do you want him to say? If he’s no money, then he’s no money to spend. And hardly assets to sell either, thanks to successive managers.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

I tell you what mate, you are the best poster on this board by a considerable distance. You make a good point, that bald wanker is actually using this as a positive

Have you just quoted yourself

 

[Ashley In!!]

What do you want him to say? If he’s no money, then he’s no money to spend. And hardly assets to sell either, thanks to successive managers.

He could acknowledge his part in us being where we are rather than continually pointing the finger at everyone else.

 

[Fact Hunt]

I suppose you could, say now just suppose mind you, that he is total lieing bastard, who is full of shit, and is a puppet of Ellis Short, again you could say that but, this comment or course is parallel as we don't no this for certain

Pardon?

 

[Goldeneye]

Already laying the foundations to make sure we're relegated.

Cant argue with that and he is doing everything to ensure the club get out the division at the wrong end.

 

[bernardbresslaw]

So he got nice messages from football people. That will be those in Burton, Birmingham, Barnsley and Reading. I hate the bastard

Aye, probably doesn't know many mags. The ones I got weren't so nice.

 

[safctommie]

Why wasn't he asked why Short has yet to speak to Coleman and why doesn't Short attend games.Marco must have prepared the questions.

 

[Lewberry pie]

So what the fuck did he say.

 

[Confucius]

Have you just quoted yourself

You should know that when I was responding to the best poster on here

 

[Wearside2Wrwkshire]

Without selling Mannone for £2m, Grayson would have had no money to spend at all last summer.

Browning and Galloway were extremely poor
Weren't needed either. Thomas Robson and Beadling should have got their chance ahead of somebody else's kids.
Good job we got that £2m
And where's the other £750,000?

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

I listened to the interview and thought he did use it to try and absolve himself of much of the blame, but I am sympathetic to an extent. I don’t really see how on one hand Coleman is given the benefit of the our plight yet Bain isn’t. Both victims of the owners mess.

 

[cluffy]

Imagine what Brian clough would say to him if he was working under him

 

[EchoMan]

Imagine what Brian clough would say to him if he was working under him

"I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard." Clough on dealing with Roy Keane.

 

[Mackemed]

Never do mate.....I hope someone ask why has Bain spoken now....possibly because all of the negative press and Journo ripping into him yesterday and today

And don't forget those season tickets!

 

[Hebdomad]

Don’t worry mate, he sold Manonne so he could get 9 shit players for the money and wonders how we got relegated

This.

Unbelieveable.

 

[BumbleBee]

Marty Bain

 

[Hebdomad]

Nick Barnes is terrible mind.

Instead of pressing Bain on certain points, he just kept back tracking to dish out sympathy.

Somehow Bain was allowed to portray himself as the main victim in all this.

 

[Bears Beets]

The North east media doing us proud again.

There’d be uproar if this was happening to the mags. Sunderland Echo in line for their exclusive soon.

North Korea FC lives on.

I absolutely detest Short and Bain, hope to god that the first thing the perspective new owners do is sack Bain.

 

[Super Ted]

Nick Barnes is terrible mind.

Absolutely this, never felt like ringing a radio station but really did tonight.

Questioning was absolutely pathetic, Bain mentioning how recruitment is so important and went onto say how he had to sell Mannone for 2M to allow Grayson to buy players, that was just accepted by Barnes.

Barnes should have then said so if recruitment is so vital why did we do the following :-

Put the money we did have back on a keeper who was worse than Mannone and who had been relegated to League One, then offer him a four year deal.

Spend a quarter of the entire budget on a striker whos never done anything of note at a level any higher than League One.

Why did we allow a loanee in Grabban to sign with a clause allowing him to return to his parent club to sell on / loan to someone else in January

Questioned Bain as to how much have we now actually ‘saved’ on Mannone considering we have now had to pay wages for three goalkeepers, all who arent good enough?

Asked why have we signed several loan players, of which none had clauses to sign permanently if they somehow did succeed from the start of the season. This ensures it would be another complete rebuilding process the following year regardless.

Why have we not yet tied down new contracts for those players who have came through the academy? ie Maja, Asoro, Honeyman, Gooch ensuring they dont just fuck off for free i.e Colback

Bain talks out his arse and hes never questioned, cant stand the smarmy, gobshite, lying prick.

I had exactly the same thoughts.
