Goldenballs Beckham fails to save software firm

NEWS UK computer game maker Rage has gone into receivership and been forced to lay off half its staff. Even the popularity of England football captain David Beckham couldn't save the firm, as sales of its 'David Beckham Soccer' game were kept low by fierce competition in the games market. A minor hit around Christmas with boxing game 'Rocky' also appears to have been too little too late. The company released a statement yesterday confirming that Bank of Scotland has withdrawn its banking facilities and Ernst & Young has been called in to take over the management of the firm. The troubled times at Rage will see around 75 staff made redundant
