Daily Sport and Sunday Sport owner in administration

The Daily Sport was launched in 1991, after the Sunday Sport in 1986
The Daily Sport and Sunday Sport have suspended 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.

If no buyer is found, the Sport will be the first UK national newspaper to close since the demise of News International's Today in November 1995.

HITLER FOUND ALIVE ON MOON!

my favourite daily sport story i actually saw on tv on a documentary about the paper. one of its reporters was interviewing a woman who claimed that she had been impregnated by elvis, yes the king himself, in about the year 2000. the reporter listened as she told her story which was something along the lines of.

"i was lying in bed one night dreaming, when i woke and [elvis] appeared suddenly, said a few sweet words, had his way with me and then left saying 'ah, ha ha' on his way out. i'm now 3 months pregnant."

the reporter admirably keeping a straight face asked if she had a boyfriend, to which the woman rather sheepishly replied "yes", the reporter then asked if there was a possibility that the child might be his to which the woman answered "well he's been away with the army you see..." the reporter then asked how the boyfriend had reacted to the news of the pregnancy via the king, to which the woman replied "well, it has caused some problems , yes..."

did they publish it? course they did!

if you want cheap women and other bollocks, internet will prevail

shows that going even further south than the Sun or Daily Mail does not work like in the 90's... :rip:

[Cort Haus]

Yes. Clearly no point in a paper soft-porn daily these days.

I think the problem is that the Sun and Mail are as bad now as the Sport used to be in terms of tits and made up stories.
