Can Setanta snatch a win from the jaws of defeat?

With a possible US tycoon saviour waiting in the wings, John Hearne follows the roughest week in Setanta’s 19-year history, a week it seems to have survived — for now.

DEFYING the obituary writers hard at work in the last five days, the Irish pay-TV company got to the weekend without being placed in administration.

All attention is now fixed on the €35 million payment due to the Premier League on Monday. If Setanta can’t come up with the money, it’s game over.
