Imagine how Spence is feeling now. The Beeb are in full unionist attack mode away from football so it makes sense for them to try and appease the loyalist pitbulls. Pathetic. They'll run anti racism campaigns whilst praising the atmosphere at Ibrox without the slightest hint of irony.

Agreed, anyone expecting anything else from the UK State broadcaster hasn't been paying attention.

BBC apology to the Rangers to end the dispute!!!

The statement notes that the apologies have been previously been made and are repeated. If true why wasn’t the dispute settled with the original apologies.?

Bingo. Orange walks are up by 129% since 2014. Someone is paying to bus in a lot of obese bigots from Ulster.

That's an incredible and depressing stat.

It wasn't settled because the Beeb decided to stand by their employee and refused to let the Huns decide who could cover their games at ibrox. It certainly looks like they've chucked their employee under the big loyalist hun bus this time, hence the end of hostilities. The Beeb is going to need all the loyal unionists on side over the next year or so as they ramp up the propaganda, this is the reason this has happened now.

Stop whining about the BBC grovelling on its knees to Newco and do something else instead and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.😂

Dispicable decision by the BBC. I wonder if the SFA and SPFL have put pressure on the BBC to stop victimising their beloved Sevco. To apologise so long after the original incident suggests some sort of collusion or pressure.

[Smartie]

Not sure I'd be in a rush to go and work for the BBC.

The way they stand by their journalists really leaves something to be desired.

There's something absolutely ****ing rancid about Scotland when you see what happens to the likes of Jim Spence, Chris McLaughlin and Graham Spiers for either reporting facts or holding a slightly different opinion to the one that one of Scotland's most dubious institutions would like them to hold.

This, 100%.

The BBC are effectively condoning sectarian chanting at Ibrox by not continuing to fight the corner of their employee who’s reporting accurately described events at Ibrox at the time. To suggest this didn’t meet editorial standards makes a mockery of any genuine attempts to call out sectarianism and bigotry in Scotland.

Ultimately it wasn’t really much of a boycott as it’s not as if we didn’t hear enough Rangers content from the BBC on a daily basis on Sportsound. If they didn’t actually tell us they were boycotting Ibrox how would we have known?

It’s been a while since we’ve had this thread on the 1st page.

Could resist sharing this conspiracy theory that the death of former Pop Idol singer Darius Danesh is linked to The Rangers.

Few Rangers mates reckon Park is selling the Buns next week to some Hong Kong consortium any truth in that or just Chinese whispers?

Does he even own Sevco?

[HoboHarry]

Sounds like a desperate attempt by the board to start a bidding war to try and recoup their collective losses. Maybe they don't fancy taking on the Lying King again in a power struggle.....

Looking forward to seeing Taiwanese flags alongside the Irish and Palestinian one's at Celtic Park.

Huns post a profit. Is it just me or is £5.9m profit (to year end June 22) for a season that they sold a player for £12mil and reached the 2nd tier European final, seem a little small to you? Vast improvement on the £23.5mil lose from last season. Their turnover is up, probably due to their Euro adventures but doing a back of a fag packet calculation, take away Patterson's (12m) sale and the Euro final (est €10-12m so £9-10mil), they would still be taking a loss of around £18mil. Are the huns only sustainable if they sell players circa £10mil each year and get Euro football to the tune of around £10mil per season, is that a good business model?

Unfortunately think they’ll be doing fine money wise. Champions League money, Aribo and Bassey sales added to season ticket money etc will be a fair whack.

Yeah I suppose, just sticks in the craw a bit. Their demise lead to 120mil in loses and they are still competing and spending more than everyone bar celtc.

It remains to be seen how engaged the "hordes" will remain if they're a distant second best to Celtic over a sustained period of time, and they appear to have a pretty high bar for breaking even. As has been pointed out, to make a profit of "only" 5 and a bit million when they've had a lot go their way poses more than a few questions.


Funny to see this thread come back around again now - I'm going to a lecture up at Stirling Uni tomorrow by a business lecturer who has written a book on the subject of the whole Rangers implosion. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Could you let us know how it goes and if the book sounds worthwhile?

They hardly spent a thing in the last transfer window compared to what they've done in the past. I imagine that will remain the case moving forward as they are in the FFP sights of UEFA.
