Britain’s largest football club is up for sale again. The club’s owners, The Glazer family, are attempting to encourage investors from the New York stock exchange to take a piece of the club. Interestingly, the advertising for the IPO (Initial Public Offering) describes the club as a global media company with access to the most popular game on earth. Much of this global commercial success is due to Sir Alex Ferguson, the irascible and wise old manager of the club.
The Glazers have, entirely legally, extracted a great deal of wealth from the club since acquiring it in 2005.

Some pieces of public performance are irresistible for cartoonists and the procession of the Olympic Torch throughout Britain is certainly one of them. Perhaps if you look closely you’ll be able to identify the characters.
Somebody else invariably actually carries the torch for the Prime Minister.

The former Chief Executive of Barclays bank testified to the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee about the Libor rate rigging scandal on 4th July 2012. It felt like the start of another long match. Barclays famously sponsor the ATP World Tour Championships at the O2 in the late autumn of the year. Everything to be seen there is ‘corporate blue’ too.

Barclays Bank has admitted artificially manipulating the Libor or London Interbank Offered rate. This is a key measure for global financial services run through the City of London. It is likely other banks, including The partially nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland have also been doing this.

The catastrophic combination of a management and a technology system failure has severely affected customers of the RBS, NatWest and Ulster Banks in the UK in the last week. Robert Peston of the BBC has a piece of journalism about it here or you may prefer the report at IT site The Register. Interestingly, the taxpayer owned RBS group has been very busy trying to save money by outsourcing much of its technology service to India since the start of the year. Computer Weekly had the story here previously.
