Glasgow Rangers FC’s multi-millionaire chairman David Murray has
urged supporters to boycott newspapers which are too critical of the
club.
Murray told the club’s website: “We can make a difference. Stop
buying newspapers which, in your opinion, unjustly attack us and maybe
the perpetrators will think twice.
“From the beginning of the
2004/05 campaign until virtually the final kick, we were continually
criticised in certain sections of the press and media on a variety of
topics and a lot of it was very personal and, I believe, unnecessary.”
He
said Rangers, the Scottish champions, had held meetings with editors
but “similar attacks and unfair criticism have followed”.
Murray
claimed: “The answer is simple. If you do not like what certain
journalists are writing, then stop buying their newspapers.”
