Daily Sport goes tits up.

[Fugitive]

The Daily Sport and Sunday Sport have ceased publication and will go into administration, their owner has said.

 

Sport Media Group, which was saved from going out of business by former owner David Sullivan in 2009, said it had ceased trading with immediate effect.

 

The announcement came after the group warned it had experienced "an insufficient recovery" since December.

 

The Daily Sport was launched by Mr Sullivan in 1991, following on from the Sunday Sport, first published in 1986.

 

The former editor of both papers, Tony Livesey, now presents a programme on BBC Five Live.

 

Sport Media Group said on its website that it had ceased trading because of its "inability to meet certain creditors as they fall due" and was the process of appointing administrators.

 

The group suspended trading in its shares on Friday morning "pending clarification of its financial position".

 

An "insufficient recovery" in trading had occurred since the adverse weather in December 2010, it said.

Fucking delighted scumbag paper.

 

My Grandad died of asbestosis and my Nan put a claim in against the company he had worked 20 years for. A freelance reporter interviewed my family and along with the Express they ridiculed my family.

 

It was that cunt Livesey who edited the story to make out my Nan was a money grabber. Even The Fail did a decent job.

 

Couldn't have happened to a shittier paper.

My Grandad died from that in the early 90's. He worked on the docks repairing ships when he left the Navy after the war up until he got ill and was working around asbestos all the time. Fucking horrible illness.

Yeah my Grandad died in the early 90's too.

 

Mine worked for a haulage company who used to transport it around. 3 years he tried to fight it. Wasn't his biggest fan, but horrible to watch someone suffer from it.

My congratulations to the OP for a very sharp and witty thread title.

They've got form for this sort of thing. A woman whose daughter died of a rare disease which leads to bones and joints calcifying gave an interview to a "freelance" hack, to try to promote awareness of the disease and maybe help any other families who were suffering. This turned up in the shitrag as "My Daughter Turned Into A Rock".

 

Fuck 'em.
