Football club offered bailout bid despite £15m arrears


A firm controlled by a City council has made a bid to buy a football club, currently in administration and with arrears of over ?15 million, the BBC reports.

Coventry City FC has been made an offer to play rent-free at the Ricoh Arena by its stadium?s owner, Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), which is part owned by Coventry City Council.

Any agreement made between ACL and the former Premier League side would be ?free of any rental fee?, according to a statement made by the firm.

This reportedly includes ignoring ?1.3 million worth of rent still unpaid by the club to the owners of its stadium, the Ricoh Arena.

Coventry City Football Club (CCFC) Ltd, the firm controlling the League One side which is currently in administration, is the subject of bids from six potential buyers, including ACL and American property tycoon, Preston Haskell IV.

It is still unclear whether ACL?s bid ? or any others ? will be accepted by the Club?s administrator, Paul Appleton, once Thursday?s deadline has passed or whether the club will escape administration.

Any successful bid, however, will aim to take control of all of CCFC?s assets, including the Football League?s ?golden share?, which grants the club a license to play in the league.

Any successful bidder would also have to hold discussions with Sisu ? the club?s former owners ? and Coventry FC?s Holdings company, which owns the players? contracts.

Tim Fisher, Chief Executive of Coventry City FC Holdings (Ltd), maintains that ?the club is not for sale.?

In January, Coventry?s City Councillors agreed in private to use ?14 million of taxpayer ?cash balances? to bail out the Ricoh company?s mortgage, with ACL under financial pressure from lost football-related sponsorship and the club?s refusal to pay rent.

The council and ACL have been locked in a legal battle and financial dispute with Sisu over stadium rent, ownership and revenues.

Coventry City Football Club Holdings (Limited) ? owned by Sisu ? has continued to operate the club throughout its administration and has threatened to build a new stadium within three years, taking the club out of Coventry in the meantime, lest a suitable bidder be found.

According to the title, ACL?s statement read: "We have today notified the Football League of a proposed solution for the coming season to enable the football club to fulfil its commitments under Football League regulations, and to provide stability whilst Coventry City Football Club Limited, which owns the League Share, remains in administration.

"All charges incurred on matchday as a consequence of staging a match will be passed through at cost.?

It went on to say: "Whilst these sums may vary depending on attendances, it should be noted that policing, stewarding and pitch maintenance have historically been directly managed and paid for by the club.

"Given ACL wishes to ensure it provides the best playing surface possible, it will now take direct responsibility for future management and maintenance of the pitch.?

The Engadget Interview: Mozilla Firefox VP Johnathan Nightingale

The Engadget Interview Mozilla Firefox VP Johnathan Nightingale

Talk to those high up at Mozilla and they'll tell you that the platform war for third place is a waste of time; that Windows Phone and BlackBerry are as doomed as each other, because developers will never, ever be interested in the "five percent". That's not to say there isn't room for a rebellious alternative, but the way Mozilla sees it, such an option has already been available since the beginning. It's not another proprietary ecosystem, but something that spans all ecosystems: namely, the web itself, in all its open and hackable glory.

On the other hand, Johnathan Nightingale, VP of Firefox Engineering, acknowledges that most of his estimated 450 million users don't care a jot for this type of sermonizing. All they want is a good browser, which means Nightingale is in a constant "fight" with Chrome and IE over market share and new features. With Firefox OS barely off the ground (and full of uncertainty), and with no iOS relationship to speak of either, it falls to Firefox for Windows, Mac and Android to wage this war, and if you read on you'll discover why Nightingale thinks these browsers will win -- even when they may appear to be losing.

BofA could still put Countrywide into bankruptcy, executive says ...

?

By Karen Freifeld NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bank of America Corp could put its Countrywide Financial unit into bankruptcy if it fails to win court approval for an $8.5 billion settlement with mortgage investors, a bank executive said on Monday. Chief Risk Officer Terrence Laughlin was testifying at a hearing in New York state court on whether to approve the deal, which would settle claims by investors who said Countrywide misrepresented the mortgages underlying bonds they bought. ...

Home insurance executive summary ? Bankrate, Inc.

Any fancy research study worthy of its footnotes these days begins with an executive summary, which, as the name implies, summarizes upfront the findings that follow. It's called an "executive" summary instead of what are arguably more appropriate titles because busy executives don't have time to wade through pages of wonk work to get to the point.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who no doubt has scanned his share of executive summaries over the years, figures it's exactly what his state's homeowners need to help them understand their home insurance.

Following in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Christie signed a bill this month that would require home insurance companies to provide policyholders with a one-page executive summary. The summary would explain "notable coverages and exclusions under the policy" and must be "written in a simple, clear, understandable, and easily readable way." State insurance regulators were charged with establishing a timeline to implement the new law.

The executive summary idea arose from a December meeting of the New Jersey Assembly in which financial institutions and the state's insurance committee reviewed insurance snags that occurred following the freak October storm that devastated much of the Jersey shore. Issues that were identified included the fact that many homeowners simply did not understand the terms of their home insurance coverage.

"Understanding fully the insurance fine print can be among the most daunting tasks consumers face," said democratic state Assemblywoman Linda Stender. "Insurance companies need to provide clearer and better explanations of their policies, and this is a pro-consumer step in that direction."

When insurers expressed concern that the simplified contents of such an executive summary might expose them to even more litigation, the legislators amended the bill to require the summaries to be clearly labeled as a guide only and not the policy itself.

Christie has a point. Have you actually read your home insurance policy? Probably not. At best, you may have scanned the contract's checklist of coverages, which can often prompt more questions than answers. Even the declaration page, if you have one, can be stubbornly opaque.

That said, the unusual circumstances of is-it-a-hurricane-or-isn't-it Superstorm Sandy turned out to be a perfect storm of consumer confusion, testing the bandwidth of even the policy-savvy.

What's your read? Should all home insurance policies come with an executive summary?
