LONDON - Setanta could be rescued after an unidentified investor has stepped up with a rescue plan.

Mystery investor provides new hope for Setanta

The pay-TV sports broadcaster is on the brink of collapse and is expected to fall into administration within days if investment is not found.

Reports suggest that ESPN, Sky, Al-Jazeera and the Irish ­billionaire Dermot Desmond can be ruled out as the investor. It is thought the Setanta brand will be kept intact if the deal goes ahead.

The Premier League is due a payment of about £30m from Setanta and it has so far been unable to renegotiate this payment.
