On reflection - Setanta have been excellent for sport overall and absolutely brilliant for boxing!!

They provide a good service and excellent competition to Sky who have had a monopoly on sport in general for far too long!!

I sincerely hope investment is found because otherwise it spells big big trouble for boxing if not!!

As long as it's not your money, eh?

I have ate humble pie mate - as angry as I was concerning Setanta - there was no way a sports lunatic like myself was going to stay away for long!!

Setanta deserve our support and it was wrong of me to slate them so much - David Payne and a few others corrected me and rightly so I phoned up and renewed my subs!!

Ulitmately boxing needs Setanta in my view badly and as such they will get my support.

Eeerrrr... are you sure??

I thought that the Telegraph was, until recently, owned by right-wing nut and criminal Conrad Black and is now owned by the Barclay brothers.

Also, I thought the Guardian was independent? PArt of the same group that owns the OBserver and a few other things.

The Telegraph, being trenchently right wing is potential Murdoch fodder, but the Guardian's wooly jumper pinko stance is certainly not. Murdoch wouldn't touch that with a barge poll.

Murdoch owns only the Times and the Sun, as far as I know.

Bit off topic but The Independent is in a world of hurt too, one of Bunce's many other gigs.

The independent made an odd choice to make their front page an 'issues-based' leader rather than world news. Odd choice for a newspaper.
