- Bradford & Bingley: a private bidder for Rock, or a nationalisation scavenger?
- Grim warnings from Goldman and a host of sell recommendations on the Euro banks.

- The FSA has published its review into UK banks’ liquidity. Bend principles and they break.
- And why inject liquidity when you can stir, fold or squirt?
On FT.com,
- MPC minutes show that the Bank of England’s rate cut decision was unanimous.
- Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley is looking to rebuild battered relationships with the City.
- Price comparison: Moneysupermarket.com rose on expected record profits, while the wider market remained stagnant.
