2.6 billion in the red. hmmmmmmmmmmmm; perhaps Fairfax has been run by Labour in the past. lol.

ginga4lyfe, Jun 9, 8:12am
ahhh, ok thats not just broken then but also wrecked, a little too much work needed then, not really keen anymore xD

moosie_21, Jun 9, 9:04am
If they are $2.5 billion in debt, why the hell would they sell a business that has nearly doubled its asking price in under 5 years! If they think selling this is a "quickfix" they're thinking exactly like every other company that ends up failing because of bonehead moves like this. They should be selling their ancient printing assets, those will always be a liability and I can't see profit expanding in, well, forever! They probably have been run by someone from Labour in the past to rack up that much debt.

Then again, if they can't manage a company properly, maybe they should sell this site to someone who can.

elect70, Jun 9, 1:36pm
Yeah well the present owners are not known for their benevolence .

morrisjvan, Jun 9, 1:45pm
Fairfax got ripped,700mil !,an obscene amount of money for a small scale ,far from perfect internet auction site.Good on Sam though.

fordguy17, May 20, 11:43pm
The prices went up too high last time it was sold, I hate to think how much we will have to pay with the new owners!
