    Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph newspapers to be put up for sale

    Barclay family have lost control of crown jewel media assets in bitter row with newspaper group’s lender

    The Daily and Sunday Telegraph are to be put up for sale in an auction after the Barclay family lost control of their crown jewel media assets in a bitter row with the newspaper group’s lender.

    Lloyds Banking Group is understood to have appointed AlixPartners as the official receiver to seize the shares owned by the Barclay family in the holding company that ultimately controls the national newspapers and the Spectator magazine.

    According to multiple sources the bank, which has taken the action after becoming frustrated at the repayment of a loan amounting to hundreds of millions of pounds, intends to remove Barclay family-appointed board members and move to auction off the Telegraph titles and Spectator.”

    Serves them right for turning it into the Daily Mail with even more toxic comments

          I've just cancelled my subscription. Fee went up to £189 for the year. They tried to get me to stay by reducing it to £69 then £49 for the year.

                That’s like FT level and it’s annual which implies discount!

                    The Telegraph has gone from a serious broadsheet to a rag for gibbering, mouth-breathing conspiracy nutters and culture warriors in the space of just a few short years - it really has been a spectacular decline. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a good business model (although Mail says otherwise) and new owners will correct course.
