It is a good sign that there are not enough people to buy it and keep it going. Most papers have lost readers because the internet brings up to date news as it happens. The Sport must have lost readers because the internet brings up to date porn, probably as it happens! The Star will probably benefit by getting the few hundred Sport readers left without their daily dose of shite.

Hopefully another of his former businesses will go bust pretty soon...

The titles are owned by Sport Media Group which is 9.9% owned by Sullivan who lent it £1.68 million two years ago.

Sums up my feelings on the matter. Whilst normally taking the view principles don't pay bills, even I have boundaries that I won't cross.
