COMMERZBANK AG: S&P Affirms 'CCC' Ratings on Tier 1 Instruments
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'CCC' debt
ratings on various Tier 1 hybrid capital instruments issued by
Germany-based Commerzbank AG (A/Negative/A-1) and related
entities.  The instruments affected were issued by Commerzbank
Capital Funding Trust I, II, and III and Dresdner Capital Funding
Trust I, III, and IV.  These rating actions follow S&P's review of
different scenarios for upcoming coupon payments, which S&P
believes could lead to positive or negative rating implications.

At the same time, S&P lowered its ratings on hybrids issued by
Eurohypo Capital Funding Trust I and II to 'CC' from 'CCC'.  This
is because S&P now consider a coupon deferral imminent, owing to
expected reported losses for 2009 and a deferral clause in the
instruments' documentation that is triggered by a balance-sheet
loss.

S&P has removed all of the abovementioned ratings from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on
Jan. 12, 2009.

The 'C' ratings on Dresdner Bank AG's hybrid capital instruments,
issued by HT1 Funding GmbH and UT2 Funding PLC, were affirmed.

The affirmation of S&P's ratings on Dresdner FTs' instruments
reflects its view that Commerzbank would likely be able to conform
with regulatory capital requirements, which is a condition for
making coupon payments.  However, S&P consider it possible that
regulatory intervention may prevent a coupon payment, considering
that Commerzbank has received substantial amounts of state aid to
prevent a default.  The next coupon payment will be that of
Dresdner Capital Funding Trust IV on March 31, 2010.  In S&P's
view, the Commerzbank FTs' and Dresdner FTs' instruments rank
equally.  Consequently, S&P would likely raise the ratings on all
of them if coupon payments are made.  S&P would lower the ratings
to 'C' if S&P believes that Commerzbank would not be in a position
to make the payment on March 31, 2010.

Coupon payments on Commerzbank FTs' instruments could be suspended
if Commerzbank records a balance-sheet loss on an unconsolidated
basis, which S&P consider likely for 2009.  The rating affirmation
reflects its view that coupon payments might be possible if
Commerzbank were to make coupon payments on the Dresdner FTs'
instruments.  This is because S&P could consider Commerzbank FTs'
instruments to be on par with those of Dresdner FTs.  An
alternative scenario could be that regulators no longer recognize
the Dresdner FTs' instruments as Tier 1 capital.  In such a
scenario, a coupon payment on Dresdner FTs' instruments would
likely be possible and could lead to positive rating actions on
the Dresdner FTs instruments.  However, S&P believes this would
not trigger a coupon payment on Commerzbank FTs' instruments.  If
Commerzbank were to miss coupon payments on the Commerzbank FTs
instruments, S&P would likely lower the ratings to 'C', but raise
them if the payments are made.

S&P lowered the ratings on the Eurohypo FTs instruments to 'CC'
because S&P believes Eurohypo will likely post a loss and, in its
view, the Eurohypo FTs' hybrids are not on par with those of
Dresdner FTs and Commerzbank FTs.  S&P also understands that
Commerzbank is not obliged to cover coupon payments on Eurohypo
FTs' instruments under its profit-and-loss transfer agreement.
The downgrade reflects S&P's view that a coupon deferral could be
imminent.  S&P would consider lowering the ratings to 'C' if
coupon payments are suspended on the next payment dates (May 23,
2010, for Eurohypo Capital Funding Trust I and March 8, 2010, for
Eurohypo Capital Funding Trust II).

The ratings reflect S&P's view of the uncertainties regarding
Commerzbank's and the German authorities' implementation of the
European Commission's ruling on state aid, which could affect the
ability and willingness of Commerzbank, Dresdner Bank, and
Eurohypo AG to meet coupon payments on individual instruments.
S&P would lower the ratings on individual instruments to 'CC', if
S&P believes that a coupon deferral is imminent, and to 'C' if a
coupon payment on an instrument is suspended.

GATE SME: Fitch Junks Ratings on Two Classes of Notes
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded five classes of notes of GATE SME CLO
2006-1, Ltd., removed them from Rating Watch Negative and assigned
Negative Outlooks and Loss Severity Ratings:

  -- EUR42 million class A notes (ISIN: XS0271959388): downgraded
     to 'BBB-' from 'AAA'; removed from RWN; assigned Negative
     Outlook and Loss Severity Rating 'LS-5'

  -- EUR26.5 million class B notes (ISIN: XS0271960048):
     downgraded to 'B+' from 'AA'; removed from RWN; assigned
     Negative Outlook and 'LS-5'

  -- EUR7.5 million class C notes (ISIN: XS0271960550): downgraded
     to 'B+' from 'A+'; removed from RWN; assigned Negative
     Outlook and 'LS-5'

  -- EUR20 million class D notes (ISIN: XS0271961012): downgraded
     to 'CCC' from 'BBB+'; removed from RWN

  -- EUR15.5 million class E notes (ISIN: XS0271961103):
     downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BB+'; removed from RWN

The transaction is a partially funded synthetic collateralized
debt obligation referencing a portfolio of loans, revolving credit
facilities and other payment claims to SMEs and larger companies
based predominantly in Germany.  The debt instruments were
originated by Deutsche Bank AG (rated 'AA-/F1+' Negative Outlook),
who is also the credit default swap counterparty.  The reference
portfolio may be replenished in accordance with the eligibility
and replenishment criteria until January 2015.

The notes were placed on RWN on August 6, 2009 pending full
analysis after the release of Fitch's revised rating criteria for
European granular corporate balance sheet securitizations.  While
the portfolio has experienced limited negative credit migration
since closing in October 2006, the low credit enhancement levels
of the rated notes relative to Fitch's revised loss expectations
are the primary driver of the downgrades.

Based on the January 2010 investor report, the cumulative credit
events since closing have been low: 11 debtor groups have
defaulted on 1.5% of the initial pool notional.  Losses have been
determined for four of the debtor groups and account for 0.63% of
the initial pool notional.

The lowest-rated categories on DB's internal scale (iCCC+ or
worse) currently contain 34 loans representing roughly 3.3% of the
current pool notional.  Beside the nine assets with credit events
for which losses have not yet been determined, this bucket also
contains exposures which have not yet caused a credit event, but
are likely to do so in Fitch's view.  Potential growth of the
lowest-rated bucket may put pressure on the current ratings of the
notes given their relatively thin credit enhancement.

The majority of the assets in the pool are unsecured.  For
purposes of this review Fitch has applied its updated standard
recovery assumptions for each debtor group according to the
collateral quota of each debtor group, with an average modeled
recovery rate of 30.5% in a 'B' scenario.

Debtor group concentrations in this transaction have contributed
to higher rating loss rates in Fitch's modeling under the updated
criteria.  The exposure to the largest debtor group and top five
debtor groups is 1.7% and 8.2%, respectively.  The top industry is
industrial/manufacturing at 19.9% of the current portfolio.

Following the described analysis, the current credit enhancement
of the notes (6.2%, 4.9%, 4.6%, 3.6% and 2.9% for classes A, B, C,
D and E, respectively) is not sufficient to support the notes'
prior ratings.  The Negative Outlooks reflect Fitch's view that
the portfolio will continue to see credit deterioration due to the
unfavorable economic conditions in Germany.

At closing the assessment of the borrowers by Fitch was based on
the mapping of DB's internal ratings to Fitch's rating scale.  For
purposes of this review the initial mapping was applied using the
most recent DB's internal ratings for the obligors in the
portfolio.


RODI PETFOOD: Bosch Saturn Tiernahrung Acquires Business
--------------------------------------------------------
All About Feed reports that Bosch Saturn Tiernahrung GmbH & Co. KG
has acquired the insolvent company Rodi Petfood Nettetal GmbH.

According to the report, the company is taking on 56 of the 67
Rodi employees.

Saturn Petfood's interest remains subject to approval under
anti-monopoly legislation, the report notes.  Rodi Petfood
Nettetal is being run in principle by Bosch Tiernahrung, the
report states.

The report says Frank Hermanns, former managing director of Rodi
Petfood Nettetal, will continue to be responsible for its
operation locally in his previous capacity as plant manager.

In a report dated Oct. 9 All About Feed disclosed bankruptcy was
filed for all three entities, Rodi, Rodi Petfood and Rodi Petfood
Nettetal.

Based in Leuth, Germany Rodi Petfood Nettetal GmbH makes pet food
under its own labels Smoelke for the Dutch market as well as Rodi
(snacks and reward products) and the premium product TechniCal as
well as private labels for discounters.


* GERMANY: Stabilization Fund Needed to Protect Future Bank Crises
------------------------------------------------------------------
William Launder at Dow Jones Newswires reports that Hypo Real
Estate Holding AG Friday said that a stabilization fund to protect
against future bank crises would be a major step and should be
financed primarily by banks and based on their systemic risks.

The report relates Hypo Real Chief Executive Axel Wieandt told
business students at a conference near Koblenz a stability fund
"would work as a second buffer against unexpected losses."

According to the report, Mr. Wieandt said that the risks of moral
hazard have increased with bank bailouts and must be addressed so
as to minimize their impact on taxpayers.

The report recounts German regulators and bankers including
Deutsche Bank AG's (DB) Chief Executive Josef Ackermann have in
recent months proposed a stabilization fund for the financial
system to help prevent future crises.  However, talks about such a
fund remain vague, the report says.

Mr. Wieandt added that stricter core capital regulations and
remuneration standards were needed for banks, the report notes.

FAGE DAIRY: Moody's Assigns (P)'B3' Rating on US$150MM Sr. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a provisional (P)B3,
LGD4/50% rating to the proposed US$150 million senior unsecured
notes to be jointly issued by Fage Dairy Industry S.A. and Fage
USA Dairy Industry Inc., a subsidiary of Fage.  Concurrently,
Moody's changed the outlook on Fage's B3 Corporate Family Rating
to positive from stable, reflecting the improvement of Fage's
operating performance in 2009 and the potential benefits of the
announced transaction to its liquidity profile.

The rating action follows the announcement that Fage will seek to
issue US$150 million of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2020.
The proceeds will be used to repurchase up to EUR20 million (plus
accrued interest and premium) of the outstanding EUR121.5 million
senior notes due in 2015, to repay EUR46.5 million of amortizing
pari passu bank debt, to fund capex and general corporate purposes
for EUR30 million and to pay fees and transaction expenses.

"The assignment of a (P)B3 rating to the proposed US$150 million
senior unsecured notes, in line with Fage's CFR, reflects the
relative ranking of these instruments within Fage's debt
structure.  The notes will rank pari passu with other unsecured
debt of the issuers," said Stefano del Zompo, lead analyst for
Fage at Moody's.  "The notes will also be structurally
subordinated to the liabilities of non-guaranteeing subsidiaries.
However, the assets of the two issuers, which together account for
97.5% of the group's consolidated assets and 91.9% of its
revenues, and only limited liabilities at non-guarantors at
September 2009, offer substantial protection from subordination to
noteholders."

"The positive outlook on Fage's B3 CFR reflects the fact that,
despite continuing competitive pressure in the domestic market,
the company has maintained a leading market share of the local
yoghurt market, while demand for its products in the US has
exceeded Moody's expectations.  The combination of these positive
trends with lower production costs has improved cash flow
generation and metrics to levels in line with a B2 rating.
However, an upgrade to B2 would require the successful placement
of the bond to alleviate Fage's liquidity constraints and
continued improvement in results in line with Moody's guidance for
an upgrade, including EBITDA margin above 10%, Debt/EBITDA below
6.0x and positive free cash flow generation," added Mr. del Zompo.

The positive outlook also reflects the improvement of Fage's
liquidity position after the transaction, with no significant
maturity until 2015.  However, if the proposed transaction does
not occur, Fage's liquidity will be deemed weak -- despite the
improving trend of the company's performance and cash flow
generation in recent quarters.  Moody's notes that the company
will face debt amortization (EUR6.5 million in 2010 rising to
EUR19.5 million in 2011) and continuing investments in its US
plant in the medium term to increase capacity in order to meet
rising demand.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale of
securities and these ratings reflect Moody's preliminary credit
opinion regarding the transaction only.  Upon a conclusive review
of the final documentation, Moody's will endeavor to assign a
definitive rating to the notes.  A definitive rating may differ
from a provisional rating.

The last rating action was implemented on September 15, 2009, when
the outlook on Fage's CFR was changed to stable from negative,
reflecting the resilience of the company's performance despite
difficult market conditions in its core markets and improved
metrics.

Headquartered in Athens, Fage is one of the leading dairy
companies in Greece, with activities in the yoghurt, refrigerated
milk and packaged cheese segments.  It has also developed its
activities in the US, the UK and Italy.  For the first nine months
of 2009, Fage reported consolidated net sales from continuing
operations of approximately EUR238 million and operating profit of
around EUR21 million.


FAGE DAIRY: S&P Assigns 'B-' Rating on US$150 Mil. Senior Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B-'
issue rating to the proposed US$150 million senior unsecured notes
due 2020 to be jointly and severally issued by the Athens-based
dairy processor Fage Dairy Industry SA (B-/Stable/--) and its
wholly owned U.S. operating arm Fage USA Dairy Industry Inc. (not
rated).  The issue rating on the proposed notes is in line with
the corporate credit rating on Fage Diary Industry S.A.  The issue
rating on the 7.5% senior notes due 2015 (the 2015 notes) is
unchanged at 'B-'.

The rating on the proposed notes is based on preliminary
information and is subject to S&P's satisfactory review of the
final documentation.  In the event of any changes to the amount or
terms of the notes, the issue rating could be subject to further
review.

S&P understands that the proposed notes will rank pari passu with
the 2015 notes (issued by Fage and guaranteed by Fage USA) with
limited priority liabilities ranking ahead of them.  On Sept. 30,
2009, Fage and Fage USA represented almost 100% of the group's
consolidated tangible assets.  In addition, like the holders of
the 2015 notes, S&P expects the proposed bondholders to benefit
from upstream guarantees from any subsidiary that becomes material
(that is, representing more than 10% of the group's revenues or
assets).  S&P also understands that the documentation for the
proposed notes will contain broadly the same covenants as that for
the 2015 notes, restricting, in particular, the group's ability to
incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, or enter into
M&A transactions.

S&P understands that the net proceeds from the new bond issue will
be used to refinance all Fage's existing private bonds and up to
EUR20 million of its outstanding 7.5% senior notes due 2015.  The
remainder will be used for capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes.  On Sept. 30, 2009, Fage's long-term debt was
EUR179.7 million and included EUR121.5 million senior unsecured
notes maturing in January 2015 and five amortizing private bonds
totaling EUR47.3 million, one of which matures in 2011, and the
remainder in 2012.

S&P believes that the proposed transaction is slightly accretive
to Fage's financial risk profile, as it will benefit from an
extended debt maturity schedule.  However, in S&P's view, the
group's credit protection metrics remain weak.  On Sept. 30, 2009,
for example, Fage's financial leverage ratio of adjusted debt to
EBITDA, pro forma for the proposed transaction, was 6.1x.

S&P reiterates its view that rating stability is dependent on Fage
maintaining a leverage ratio comfortably below 6.0x on a Standard
& Poor's-adjusted basis.

Downside rating risk could arise if the group were unable to meet
and sustain the ratio guidance outlined above.  Downside risk
could also arise if Fage were to fail to maintain an adequate
liquidity position.  Specifically, this means adjusted EBITDA
interest coverage of more than 2.0x (2.4x on Sept. 30, 2009), and
short-term maturities that are fully covered by unrestricted cash,
free operating cash flow from operations, and availability under
committed bank lines.

S&P could consider taking a positive rating action if Fage were to
exercise restraint in its discretionary spending and financial
policy.  In particular, upside rating potential would arise if
Fage were to show a track record of stable operating profits and
discretionary cash flow generation leading to adjusted ratios of
EBITDA interest coverage of above 2.5x and of debt to EBITDA below
5.0x.

* GREECE: Won't Get Special Treatment From ECB, Trichet Says
------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Blackstone at Dow Jones Newswires reports that European
Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said the ECB isn't
willing to grant Greece special treatment to alleviate the
country's economic turmoil.

"No government or state can expect from us any special treatment,"
the report quoted Mr. Trichet as saying following the European
Central Bank's monthly meeting.

According to the report, the comments, which came as the ECB kept
its key lending rate unchanged at 1%, helped push the cost of
insuring Greek sovereign debt against default to a record.

The report says that while ECB doesn't provide direct aid to
individual members of the 16-member euro zone, it does provide
Greece and other countries with indirect support through its
lending facilities, which allow Greek commercial banks -- heavy
owners of Greek sovereign debt -- to use those bonds as collateral
to obtain inexpensive central-bank credit.

The ECB is due to go back to its old collateral policy at year-
end, the report discloses.

If Greek government debt gets downgraded further, it risks
becoming ineligible as ECB collateral when the rules that were in
place before the financial crisis are reinstated, the report says.

According to the report, Mr. Trichet said "We will not change our
collateral framework for the sake of any individual country."

He dismissed speculation in the financial markets that Greece's
soaring budget deficit will eventually force it to exit the EU and
euro system, calling it "an absurd hypothesis," the report notes.

The report relates Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou pledged
to trim Greece's budget deficit to 2.8% of gross domestic product
by the end of 2012 from an estimated 12.7% of gross domestic
product in 2009.  Yet Greek bond prices declined, as investors
remained doubtful that the government will be able to push through
the deep cuts in public-sector spending that would be necessary to
achieve that goal, the report notes.

Bloomberg News' Simon Kennedy and Andrew Davis report that Mr.
Trichet intensified pressure on Greece to cut the continent's
biggest budget deficit.

"The central bank has clearly chosen to maintain its pressure on
the Greek government, rather than easing the heightened tensions
in bond markets," Bloomberg quoted Laurent Bilke, a former ECB
economist now at Nomura International Plc in London, as saying.

* ICELAND: Failure to Reach Icesave Deal to Delay Financial Aid
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rowena Mason at The Daily Telegraph reports that financial aid for
Iceland looks set to be delayed by its failure to reach a
GBP2.3 billion compensation deal with Britain and the Netherlands
over its collapsed Icesave accounts.

Iceland cannot agree how much it owes for the failure of Icesave's
parent, Landsbanki Islands hf, which meant the UK Treasury had to
rescue 300,000 savers in October 2008, the Daily Telegraph states.

The Daily Telegraph says both the International Monetary Fund and
Sweden signaled that their hands were tied by the fact that
Iceland is unlikely to reach an agreement before a review of aid
for the country is completed later this month.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of
the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said settling the Icesave
controversy was not a condition for aid but added that he would
have to listen if members raised issues.

It also looks like Sweden will delay its tranche of the IMF-led
package, the Daily Telegraph notes.

"We want Iceland to stick to these international obligations and
then we will follow through with our own commitments," the Daily
Telegraph quoted Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt as saying on
Thursday.

                           Referendum

Bloomberg New's Omar R. Valdimarsson reports that Iceland's
opposition parties say they aren't likely to strike a new
depositor accord with the government and want the current bill put
to a referendum that most polls show voters will reject.

"I don't support" the current bill "being cancelled at this point
in time," Bloomberg quoted Bjarni Benediktsson, chairman of the
opposition Independence Party that governed Iceland when its banks
collapsed more than a year ago, as saying in an interview.  "At
the moment, there are no new proposals on the table on behalf of
the opposition or the government."

Bloomberg recalls President Olafur R. Grimsson on Jan. 5 blocked
the so-called Icesave depositor bill that had set out to restore
relations with the U.K. and Netherlands and keep emergency loans
flowing.  Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir said last week
week she may withdraw the bill to prevent the legislation being
rejected in a referendum and hopes to get lawmaker backing to
present a new accord to the British and Dutch governments,
Bloomberg relates.

Mr. Benediktsson, as cited by Bloomberg, said "In order for the
opposition to be a part of any deal, we need to see some
substantial changes to the agreement."

Mr. Benediktsson's party rejected the current bill, which obliges
Iceland to guarantee a US$5.5 billion loan from the U.K. and
Netherlands to cover depositor claims stemming from the failure of
Landsbanki, Bloomberg recounts.

3G: Put Into Voluntary Liquidation; 150 Jobs Affected
-----------------------------------------------------
Barry O'Halloran at The Irish Times reports that 3G was on Friday
put into voluntary liquidation, resulting in the loss of 150 jobs.

According to the report, Tony Boyle, 3G's chief executive, said
that it had invited Ulster Bank to appoint a receiver to Sigma
Telecom Ltd., a shareholder in 3G and a major creditor of the
mobile phone seller.  The bank on Friday appointed Tom Kavanagh of
insolvency specialists Kavanagh Fennell, the report discloses.

The report recalls the company closed "temporarily" last week as
its management continued the search for new investors to rescue
the business.

The report relates 3G's management was looking at the option of
putting the business into examinership earlier this week.  This
would have given it court protection from its creditors and
possibly allowed it to exit or renegotiate the terms of its
leases, the report says.

The report notes Mr. Boyle on Friday said that 3G had been told
just before Christmas that an investor with whom the company had
been in talks had decided not to go ahead with the deal.

"However, we continued to work hard to secure an alternative,
which did not prove possible," the report quoted Mr. Boyle as
saying.  "The result of extremely high rents and inflexible
leases, at a time of adverse economic conditions, made this move
unavoidable."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Jan. 15,
2010, The Irish Times said last accounts filed show that two years
ago, 3G owed Sigma EUR6.2 million, which was due within 12 months,
and a sum of EUR9 million which was due after one year.

3G is a chain of mobile phone and wireless equipment shops based
in Ireland.


HANOVER STREET: Moody's Lowers Rating on Class A-1 Notes to 'Ca'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the rating of Class A1
Notes issued by Hanover Street Finance Limited.  The Notes
affected by the rating actions are:

Issuer: Hanover Street Finance Limited

  -- EUR72.2 million Class A1 Floating Rate Credit-Linked Notes,
     Downgraded to Ca; previously on Jun 9, 2009 Caa2 Placed Under
     Review for Possible Downgrade

Hanover Street Finance Limited is a synthetic collateralized debt
obligation transaction backed by a managed portfolio of direct
exposure Asset Backed Securities and corporate entities (more than
half of the total portfolio) and 10 bespoke corporate inner CDOs.

Moody's explained that the rating action taken is the result of
the deterioration in the credit quality of the transaction
reference portfolio.  Specifically, significant credit
deterioration was observed in its direct exposure ABS/corporate
pool.  This can be observed through a decline in the average
credit rating (as measured by an increase in the weighted average
rating factor).  The current direct exposure ABS/corporate pool
WARF is 3372 versus a WARF of 2945 at the time of the previous
rating action, equivalent to a weak B2 pool.  The rest of bespoke
inner CDOs' current WARF ranges between 1000 to 1300, equivalent
to a Ba2 pool.  The majority of the ABS pool consists of Subprime
RMBS and ABS CDOs.  Also, the majority of the ABS pool is
currently rated Caa1 or below.  More than half of the direct
exposure Corporate pool consists of Financials and Banking
industry.  Since last rating action, several corporate entities
experienced multi-notch rating downgrades, including CIT Group
Inc., iStar Financial Inc. and Ambac Financial Group, Inc.


RESIDENCE MEMBERS: Revenue Commissioners Owed EUR1.2 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Carolan at The Irish Times reports that the High Court's
Mr. Justice Peter Kelly and the Revenue Commissioners have
expressed serious concerns about the management of the insolvent
Residence private members' club.

According to the report, the club, which is now seeking a
continuation of court protection, was effectively subsidized by
the "hard-pressed Irish taxpayer" through employees' tax
deductions which were not passed on to the Revenue.  Mr. Justice
Kelly said it is now owed EUR1.2 million, the report notes.

It was "a form of thieving" to use employees' money deducted for
PAYE and PRSI contributions to subsidize a business, the report
quoted the judge as saying.  The laws on examinership were not
intended to provide "a form of absolution for recalcitrant
directors".

The report relates the case raised "very serious" issues and that
Mr. Justice Kelly reserved Wednesday his decision on whether to
continue court protection for Missford Ltd., the club's owner.

Pending the court's decision, interim examiner Jim Stafford
continues in place and the judge has also made orders for payment
of wages, the report notes.

The application for protection was supported by all creditors,
including Zurich Bank, owed more than EUR2.3 million, while the
Revenue said it was "very guardedly neutral," the report
discloses.

Residence Members Club is a plush club spread over four floors in
a period building overlooking St. Stephen's Green, Dublin.
Currently, Residence had 1,450 members and employed 58 staff.  The
directors were Simon and Christian Stokes.

telephone interview from Rome Thursday.

Bloomberg notes Fiat said it loses EUR1,000 (US$1,500) on every
car produced at the plant, which employs 1,400 people, partly due
to a lack of infrastructure and the high cost of shipping parts to
the island.

* ROMANIA: Approves 2010 Budget to Unlock US$30BB IMF Bailout Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
Irina Savu and Adam Brown at Bloomberg News report that Romania's
parliament approved the 2010 state budget that freezes state wages
and cuts investment to meet International Monetary Fund criteria
and unlock a US$30 billion bailout loan.

According to Bloomberg, the budget, accepted by lawmakers in a
192-138 vote in Bucharest Thursday, aims to narrow the deficit to
5.9% of gross domestic product from about 7.3% last year, which
may prompt the IMF to resume payments as early as February.

Bloomberg relates lawmakers met the Jan. 15 deadline to approve
the 2010 budget, which was made a condition to unlock the bailout
loan.  The rescue package was frozen after Romania's government
collapsed in October amid infighting that delayed budget talks,
Bloomberg recalls.  Standard & Poor's on Wednesday said it may
raise the outlook on Romania's junk credit rating with the
approval, Bloomberg notes.

In a Jan. 13 report Bloomberg News disclosed Romania, the European
Union's second-poorest member, is rated BB+ at S&P, the highest
junk grade, with a negative outlook.  Moody's Investors Service is
the only agency that rates Romania investment grade, at Baa3,
while Fitch Ratings has a BB+, the highest non-investment rating.

GAZ GROUP: Seeks Foreign Partner; Debt Talks "In Process"
---------------------------------------------------------
Chris Reiter and Paul Abelsky at Bloomberg News report that GAZ
Group President Bo Andersson said GAZ Group, the Russian carmaker
owned by billionaire Oleg Deripaska, will focus on "survival" in
2010 as it seeks a foreign partner to help overhaul production and
reverse a collapse in sales.

The company's sales fell 56% in the year to 58,205 vehicles,
Bloomberg says citing Moscow-based Association of European
Businesses.

Bloomberg recalls GAZ is struggling after demand was shattered by
the worst slump since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Mr. Andersson, as cited by Bloomberg, said the company is still
open to discussions with General Motors Co.'s Opel unit after
taking part in a failed bid for the unit with Russian lender OAO
Sberbank and Magna International Inc.

GAZ's main business is van production, with sales of almost 52,000
light commercial vehicles last year, down 53%, Bloomberg
discloses.  It also sold more than 6,000 cars, including the
Siber, a decline of 69%, Bloomberg recounts.

The company, Bloomberg says, is exploring options for the Siber
production lines, which would have been used by Opel had the
Magna/Sberbank takeover succeeded.  Bloomberg relates
Mr. Andersson said they could be used in a joint venture or
contract manufacturing, or may be shut down, with some gear used
to upgrade GAZ's light commercial vehicle business.  According to
Bloomberg, he said talks with other companies about partnerships
are ongoing, adding that he's "optimistic" about the outcome.

                            Debt Talks

According to Bloomberg, Mr. Andersson, a former vice president of
GM who was appointed president of Nizhny Novgorod-based GAZ in
August, said the carmaker has accumulated US$1 billion in debt as
a result of its purchase of U.K. van manufacturer LDV Ltd. and a
failed project to assemble Chrysler LLC's Siber sedan.  He said
talks with banks on restructuring the borrowings are "in process,"
Bloomberg notes.

GAZ OAO (GAZ OJSC) -- http://www.gazgroup.ru/-- is a Russia-based
automotive manufacturer.  The Company produces light commercial
vehicles, trucks, buses, diesel engines, cars, power-train
components, road construction equipment, as well as spare parts

Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States countries.  GAZ
OAO has five manufacturing plants Commercial Vehicle Plant in
Nizhny Novgorod, Pavlovo Bus Plant, Linkino Bus Plant, Avtodizel
on Yaroslavl and Ural Truck Plant.  The Company operates through
one representative office located in Hungary and 49 subsidiaries
and two affiliated companies.  It is 61.34%-owned by Sberbank

UC RUSAL: Hong Kong IPO Said to Be Fully Subscribed
---------------------------------------------------
United Co. Rusal won pledges from investors equal to all the stock
it's offering, Bei Hu and Yuriy Humber at Bloomberg News report,
citing two people familiar with the matter.

Rusal is seeking to raise as much as HK$20.1 billion (US$2.6
billion) selling shares in Hong Kong, Bloomberg notes.

According to Bloomberg, the people, who declined to be named
because the discussions with investors are private, said the
initial public offering is fully subscribed within Rusal's price
range of HK$9.10 to HK$12.50 a share.

Rusal, Bloomberg says, plans to reduce its debt with the IPO's
proceeds.  Bloomberg recalls its borrowings almost doubled after
Rusal bought a quarter of OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel before commodity
prices collapsed in 2008.

Rusal posted a net loss of US$868 million in the first half of
2009, compared with net income of US$1.4 billion a year earlier,
Bloomberg relates.  Bloomberg notes the company said its IPO
prospectus profit won't be less than US$434 million for 2009.

RUSAL -- http://www.rusal.com/-- is among the world's top
aluminum producers, along with Rio Tinto Alcan and Alcoa.  Formed
in 2000 from various parts of the old Soviet state apparatus,
RUSAL produces about 4 million tons of aluminum, 11 million tons
of alumina, and 6 million tons of bauxite.  Its aluminum business
include packaging and foil operations in addition to a network of
smelters.  Those Soviet spare parts were significantly augmented
in 2007 when the company merged with fellow Russian aluminum
producer Sual and Glencore's alumina unit.  RUSAL is majority
owned by Board member Oleg Deripaska, who had owned the company
completely prior to the merger.

HIPOCAT FONDO: Fitch Cuts Ratings on Three Classes of Notes to 'C'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded all the RMBS notes of Hipocat Fondo
De Titulizacion De Activos 10 and 11.  Fitch has also downgraded
the junior notes of the Hipocat 8 and 9 transactions and affirmed
the Hipocat 7 and 16 transactions.

Over the last year, Hipocat 8, 9, 10 and 11 have seen a
significant deterioration in performance.  Cumulative outstanding
write-offs increased to 1.74%, 3.43%, 4.24% and 8.58% of the
current balances of Hipocat 8, 9, 10 and 11 respectively in
November 2009.  Loans classified as in arrears greater than 90
days, or doubtful loans, have also increased and were equal to
1.30%, 2.65%, 4.62% and 9.09% of the current balances respectively
for Hipocat 8, 9, 10 and 11 in November 2009.

The losses incurred to the transactions from liquidation and the
provisioning of written off loans are the main driver of the
recent large drops in the reserve funds of these transactions.
The reserve funds currently stand at 89%, 79%, 22% and 0% of the
required amounts respectively for the Hipocat 8, 9, 10 and 11
transactions.  Due to significant write-offs and losses, the
Hipocat 11 transaction also has had a bond amortization shortfall
of EUR18.2 million.  However, this amount has declined, as of the
last interest payment date in October 2009, from EUR25.5 million
in July 2009.

Over the last year, the performance of Hipocat 7 has also
deteriorated, but the level of arrears and write-offs has been
significantly less than the more recent transactions in the
series.  The transaction also benefits from significant
deleveraging, resulting in credit enhancement growth due to the
initial period of sequential amortization along with a fully
funded cash reserve fund.  Hipocat 16 has also been performing as
per the agency's initial expectations.  The LTV of loans in
Hipocat 16 is significantly lower, and the loans are more
seasoned, in comparison with earlier transactions in the series.

Caixa d'Estalvis de Catalunya was originally appointed as the
account bank and swap provider for all the Hipocat transactions.
Fitch downgraded Caixa Catalunya below the agency's required
rating of 'A' for a swap provider to the transactions last year.
Following the downgrade, the swap provider for Hipocat 7, 8, 9, 10
and 11 was changed to CECA.  The Account Bank for Hipocat 9, 10
and 11 was changed to La Caixa and the account bank for Hipocat 7,
8 and 16 was changed to Banco Sabadell.  For Hipocat 16, Caixa
Catalunya has agreed to post collateral as per Fitch criteria.

Fitch used its EMEA RMBS surveillance criteria, employing its
credit cover multiple methodologies, to assess the level of credit
support available to each class of notes with respect to the
transactions.

The rating actions are:

largest savings bank by total assets.  The Hipocat deals are
securitizations of residential mortgages originated and located in

IM FTGENCAT: Fitch Junks Rating on Class C Notes Notes From 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded IM FTGENCAT Sabadell 2's notes and
assigned these Negative Outlooks and Recovery Rating:

  -- EUR271.7 million Class A(G) notes; downgraded to 'AA-' from
     'AA+', assigned a Negative Outlook; assigned a Loss Severity
     rating of 'LS-1'

  -- EUR121.1 million Class A(S) notes; downgraded to 'AA-' from
     'AA+', assigned a Negative Outlook; assigned a Loss Severity
     rating of 'LS-1'

  -- EUR19.8 million Class B notes; downgraded to 'B' from 'BBB',
     assigned a Negative Outlook; assigned a Loss Severity rating
     of 'LS-3'

  -- EUR5.7 million Class C notes; downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BB',
     assigned a Recovery Rating of 'RR3'

The rating action takes into consideration both the performance of
the transaction to date which, despite a relatively good
historical performance, has in recent months displayed a clear
shift towards a more negative trend, as well as an updated credit
view of the underlying small to medium-sized enterprises loans
securitized under this transaction.

Following the increase in cumulative gross defaults to
EUR4.8 million from EUR1.1 million in the 6 months from May to
November 2009, Fitch is of the opinion that the underlying assets
will continue to report a sharp deterioration in credit
performance as the difficult economic conditions in Spain continue
to persist through to the end of 2010.  The agency expects the
collateral to remain under pressure in the near-term, with
continued increases in late-stage arrears and defaults.

In line with its rating criteria for Global Structured Finance and
taking into account its rating criteria for European Granular
Corporate Balance-Sheet Securitizations, Fitch also updated its
base case default expectation for the performing collateral
balance of the portfolio as well as the Recovery Rate
expectations.  These revised assumptions, coupled with the
expected credit performance of the underlying assets, including
the profile of the transaction's delinquency pipeline, result in
limited credit protection being available to the noteholders and
explain the downgrades noted above.

Despite the current cumulative losses still being below their base
case, Fitch believes that the losses expected to arise from the
transaction in the next 12 to 18 months will result in further
reserve fund draws, following the EUR2.2m draw which occurred in
October 2009, as a direct result of the significant increase in
defaults during the quarter.

The class A (G) notes benefit from a guarantee by the Generalitat
de Catalunya (Autonomous Community of Catalonia, rated 'A+'/'F1',

principal on the notes.

contracts, backed by real estate and other financial leases and
originated from Banco de Sabadell (rated 'A+'/'F1', Outlook

region of Catalonia.


* SPAIN: Financial System Faces Difficult Year, Cajas Vulnerable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Victor Mallet at The Financial Times, citing bankers and officials
in Madrid and the regions, reported that this year would be more
difficult for the Spanish financial system.

According to the FT, Spain's cajas de ahorros are vulnerable.  The
FT says cajas are entering the darkest phase of a traditional
banking crisis caused by the domestic Spanish property market
crash.

"The fundamental error was that the slowdown in property was not
properly foreseen," the FT quoted the head of one of Spain's
stronger cajas as saying.  "Now the cajas face a crossing of the
desert for four or five years, and they will need help from the
Frob [the Spanish bank restructuring fund that can deploy up to
EUR99 billion] and the Bank of Spain."

Both banks and cajas face a triple blow to profitability this
year, the FT noted.

First, interest margins are under pressure because of the way
Spanish floating- rate mortgages, linked to the benchmark Euribor
interest rate, are reset once a year for each borrower, the FT
disclosed.  The second problem is that while loans continue to
turn bad -- impaired assets are expected to rise in 2010 to
between 7 and 8% of assets, with cajas worse hit than banks --
lenders are rapidly consuming the generic loan loss provisions
that helped flatter their results in 2009, the FT stated.  Third,
the European Central Bank is seeking to wean banks off the
emergency liquidity support it has provided at a 1% interest rate
during the worst of the crisis, the FT said.

The commercial banks will not be immune to these problems or to
the grim state of the Spanish economy, and will struggle to make
profits in Spain, the FT noted.

GENERAL MOTORS: Spyker Lone Bidder for Saab; Genii Still Hopeful
----------------------------------------------------------------
Spyker Cars NV is the lone remaining bidder being considered for
General Motors Co.'s Saab Automobile unit, Serena Saitto, Jeff
Green and Ola Kinnander at Bloomberg News report, citing two
people close to the situation.

According to Bloomberg, one of the people who asked not to be
identified because the details aren't public, said GM will
probably decide whether to continue sale talks or liquidate Saab
today, Jan. 18.

Bloomberg relates two people said Spyker has offered GM
US$75 million in cash and US$325 million in preferred shares in
the new company that would emerge from the transaction.  The
people said GM would also keep US$100 million of Saab's existing
liquidity, Bloomberg discloses.  Bloomberg notes two people said
the details of the bid may change.

"Discussions between Spyker and GM are ongoing," Bloomberg quoted
Spyker spokesman Mike Stainton said in an interview Saturday.
"I'm not aware that anything has changed in the last few days."

Bloomberg notes one of the people said GM would sell to Spyker
only on the condition that Russian businessman Vladimir Antonov,
the chairman and biggest investor in the Zeewolde, Netherlands-
based sports-car maker, exit the company.  According to Bloomberg,
the person said the other outstanding issue GM is evaluating is
whether Saab has a future as a stand-alone company with sales
volume of about 100,000 vehicles a year.

                          Genii Capital

Genii Capital, the private-equity firm that teamed up with Formula
One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone, still expects to enter into talks
with GM this week, Bloomberg says citing one of its partners.

"Genii remains committed and is still financially strong and
should be able to deliver an even stronger bid to GM, with even
more cash up front," Lars Carlstroem, the Swedish investor working
with Luxembourg-based Genii, said by telephone Saturday, according
to Bloomberg.  "We expect a dialogue with GM early [this] week."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Jan. 14,
2010, The Financial Times said Genii on Wednesday made a revised
bid for Saab even as GM began to wind down its Swedish unit.

"We have submitted further information to GM showing that we have
the long-term financial capacity and the management know-how to
turn Saab round," the FT quoted Mr. Carlstroem as saying.  He said
Mr. Ecclestone, the billionaire British chief executive of the F1
organization, had a central role in the group and would invest his
own money if the bid was successful, the FT noted.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, GM confirmed
in a public statement dated January 8, 2010, that it has commenced
wind down of its Swedish unit Saab.  GM, however, said it has
received proposals for Saab and is evaluating those proposals.  GM
has hired AlixPartners to supervise the wind down of Saab and has
sought approval from appropriate authority in Sweden.  According
to GM, wind down of Saab will take several months, and will ensure
that employees, dealers and suppliers are adequately protected.

AADAMS LIMITED: Business Sold; 46 Jobs Secured
----------------------------------------------
Aadams Limited, trading as Llysfield Nursing Home, entered into
administration on August 28, 2008.  Beverley Marsh, Client Partner
at Vantis Business Recovery Services (BRS), a division of Vantis,
the UK accounting, tax and business advisory group, was appointed
as the Administrator.

At the time of Vantis appointment, Llysfield Nursing Home of
Oswestry, Shropshire, employed 36 staff to run its care home, with
19 nursing and residential clients.  It was incurring monthly
operating losses in the region of eight thousand pounds.

Beverley Marsh explained: "The home had been operating without a
manager for some time, and this, combined with its financial
difficulties and an adverse Care Quality Commission rating, meant
that Shropshire Social Services were not placing residents there.
Together with new management, we had the ban lifted on placing
residents and addressed all the key issues identified by the Care
Quality Commission report, moving the homes rating from inadequate
to adequate.

"Beverley Marsh was able to develop a robust strategy to continue
trading the business during the administration.  It was advertised
for sale in the Financial Times 'Specialist care home magazine',
attracting in excess of 33 expressions of interest, resulting in
four offers.

"The business was sold as a going concern on December 22, 2009,
securing 46 jobs and ensuring that there was no disruption in care
to the residents at the home."

Ms. Marsh concluded: "We should like to commemorate the staff for
their support in turning the home around during a difficult time.
Especially Sharon Dellow, who had only been appointed as Manager
three days prior to the administration."


ADVANCE KITCHENS: Court Winds Up Business Following CIB Probe
-------------------------------------------------------------
Advance Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms Ltd., a Dewsbury-based
supplier of kitchen, bedroom & bathroom fitments, has been wound
up in the High Court in Manchester following an investigation by
the Companies Investigation Branch, which is part of the
Insolvency Service.

Advance Kitchens was unable to account for hundreds of thousands
of pounds of customer monies passing through accounts controlled
by a previously disqualified director.

The company mainly offered kitchen supply and fit services to
householders.

The investigation found that, although not formally appointed a
director, Akhtar Ahmed Sheikh (also known as Adahm Sheikh) had
participated in the management of the company, despite having
previously undertaken not to do so, for a period of 7 years from 4
March 2006.

This followed his previous conduct as a director of Dream
Interiors UK Ltd, a company engaged in a similar type of business
to Advance.  The investigation also found that the sole appointed
director resigned in July 2008, effectively abandoning the
company, leaving Mr. Sheikh in charge.

The local Trading Standards office had received complaints about
Advance and Mr. Sheikh, alleging that customer deposits were being
taken but that orders were not being completed.  Furthermore, the
investigation found that Advances client records were so poor that
it was impossible to follow up on the allegations, while financial
records failed to provide any account of more than 300,000 of
company money passing through a check-cashing facility and a
sole-trader bank account, both of which were under the sole
control of Mr. Sheikh.  The company was also found to be
insolvent, with County Court Judgments totaling almost 37,000
filed against it.

Advance Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms Ltd was incorporated on
April 2, 2007 and latterly had its Registered Office at Unit 304
Bretton Parkway, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, an address from which
it also traded.  The petition was presented on October 14, 2009
under s124A of the Insolvency Act 1986.  The company was
compulsorily wound up by the Court on January 8, 2010.

The Insolvency Service carries out confidential inquiries on
behalf of the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills
through Companies Investigation Branch.

AERO INVENTORY: KPMG Must Forward Findings to Insolvency Service
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rachael Singh at Accountancy Age relates that a creditor report
posted by the three appointed KPMG administrators to Aero
Inventory plc showed that under the Directors Disqualification Act
the trio would have to investigate the directors' actions and
forward their findings to the Insolvency Service, even if they
find nothing untoward.

The report recalls Aero's finance director Hugh Bevan and chief
executive Rupert Lewin were removed from their roles in October
after the company told shareholders in a statement that there were
accounting errors in stock levels.  Its shares on AIM were
suspended and the company entered administration, the report
recounts.

According to the report, the initial part of the administrators'
investigation is attempting to work out the stock levels held by
Aero -- a process which is hampering a sale of the insolvent air
parts supplier's assets.

"These days it is a fundamental part of the insolvency
practitioners role to look at directors' actions and submit a
report," the report quoted Chris Laughton, restructuring and
insolvency partner at Mercer & Hole, as saying:

In cases where wrongdoing is found, insolvency practitioners would
have to report this to the Insolvency Service, which would decide
if the directors would be disqualified, the report states.

Aero administrators racked up GBP2 million in time fees for the
first month of their work, including GBP450,000 in legal costs
from lawyers CMS Cameron McKenna, the report discloses.

COVENTRY RFC: Needs More Funding to Secure Long-Term Future
-----------------------------------------------------------
Paul Bolton at The Daily Telegraph reports that Jon Bowles, a
Dorset-based benefactor, has provided funding to Coventry RFC
Ltd., giving it more time to attract additional investment to
secure its future.

The report relates a meeting between members of Coventry's new
board, including former England full-back Peter Rossborough, and a
delegation from the Rugby Football Union's management board at
Twickenham resolved more funding will be required to guarantee the
club's long-term future.

"We're seeking additional investment and the RFU have agreed to

Coventry's license to play in the Championship has been extended
until Jan. 31 and an update on the club's financial position is
expected at the next RFU management board meeting on Jan. 27, the
report notes.

MANCHESTER UNITED: Glazer Family Likely to Keep Club, FT Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anousha Sakoui and Roger Blitz at The Financial Times report that
Manchester United is likely to remain in the ownership of the
Glazer family at least until 2017.

The FT relates Edward Woodward, who heads the family's London
operations, told investors at a roadshow on Thursday for the
club's planned GBP500 million bond issue that the Glazers were
likely long-term shareholders.

The FT says the football club is using the bond sale to replace
its banking facilities, which would give it additional financial
flexibility and the ability to start repaying a GBP202 million
payment-in-kind loan that has an interest rate of more than 14%.

The bond sale is being arranged by JPMorgan, Bank of America
Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Royal Bank of
Scotland.  KKR, the U.S. private equity fund, is one of the
managers of the deal, the FT discloses.

Pricing is expected at the end of this week, the FT notes.

According to the FT, Manchester United's secured bank debts total
GBP510 million, while the PIK loans -- which fall on the Glazers
-- stand at GBP202 million.

The FT recalls Glazer family bought Manchester United in a GBP790
million leveraged buy-out in 2005, and most recently refinanced
the club's debts in July 2006.

MULTIBUILD LTD: Directors Opt to Wind Up Business
-------------------------------------------------
Construction News reports that Multibuild Ltd. will be wound up
once its recently agreed company voluntary arrangement comes to an
end.

According to the report, the GBP69 million turnover firm's latest
accounts, filed at Companies House on Christmas Eve, reveal that
the directors have "resolved to wind up the company", and that as
such it is no longer operating as a going concern.

The report recalls that Multibuild had entered into a CVA, which
the management said would ensure "affected creditors receive the
best financial returns possible".

"Throughout the year a number of redundancies have been made
across the business and all expenditure budgets cut," the report
quoted Multibuild Chief executive Mike Peden as saying in the
accounts.

"The directors are extremely disappointed that, despite every
effort made during the course of 2009 to trade the business
through its difficulties, the CVA has been necessary.

"Once the company voluntary arrangement has concluded the
directors have resolved to wind up the company."

Details of the CVA show Multibuild had about 250 creditors, which
were owed a total of GBP11.3 million, the report discloses.  Under
the terms of the CVA, creditors were asked to accept a percentage
of the debts they are owed, the report notes.

Multibuild's accounts for the year to September 30, 2008 show the
contractor made a pre-tax loss of GBP4.4 million, compared with a
pre-tax profit of GBP1.1 million the year before, while the firm's
turnover dipped, to GBP68.9 million from GBP71.2 million, the
report states.  According to the report, Mr. Peden said in the
accounts that the drop in turnover was primarily due to delays on
projects, adding that the heavy losses were down to a number of
reasons.  The report notes one of those related to "significant
problems with the supply and quality" of modular build units
provided by a subcontractor on two of Multibuild's major projects.

Andrew Hankinson at Building reports the insolvency specialists
Leonard Curtis, which has been managing the CVA, said it is trying
to achieve "realization of the company's assets".

PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL: TV Revenue Distributed to Creditor Clubs
-------------------------------------------------------------
Peter-Joseph Hegarty and Tariq Panja at Bloomberg News report that
English soccer's Premier League will divert Portsmouth Football
Club's GBP7-million (US$11.4 million) share of broadcast revenue
to clubs owed money by Pompey on player trades.

According to Bloomberg, Portsmouth owes about GBP10 million to
Premier League and foreign clubs including Chelsea, Udinese and
Rennes.

"The board has decided, in accordance with Premier League rules,
to pay those undisputed football creditors that were overdue at
the time of meeting," Bloomberg quoted the league as saying in a
statement.  "This includes both domestic and overseas clubs.  The
board continues to work with the officers of Portsmouth Football
Club to ensure that arrangements are in place to settle all club
liabilities as and when they become due."

The league did not specify which teams were paid.

Portsmouth received about GBP37 million in broadcast revenue last
season, Bloomberg discloses.

Bloomberg recalls since landing the 2008 F.A. Cup, its first major
title in 58 years, Portsmouth has been forced to sell about
GBP80 million worth of talent to help meet creditor demands.  The
club's latest filing, for the year ending May 31, 2008, said
Portsmouth had 12 months to repay GBP114.9 million, Bloomberg
discloses.  It had further long-term debt of GBP22 million,

WHITE YOUNG: Shareholders Back Refinancing Plans
------------------------------------------------
Susan Press at Yorkshire Evening Post reports that over 95% of
White Young Green plc's shareholders voted for the company's
refinancing plans.

According to the report, under the rescue package, WYG's banks
will convert some GBP53 million of debt into equity and provide
new lending facilities totaling GBP58.25 million and GBP38 million
of committed bonding facilities to help put the company on a
stronger financial footing.

"Upon completion of the refinancing we will have significantly
reduced the level of the group's debt, created a stable, long term
financial future for the company, secured around 2,700 jobs and
provided renewed confidence to our clients," the report quoted WYG
Group chief executive Paul Hamer as saying.

"We are absolutely delighted that through this challenging period
our lenders, shareholders, clients and staff have continued to
support us and believe in the future success of the business."

The report says the refinancing will see 60.5% ownership of the
company transferring to the banks, 24.5% to staff and management
and 15% to existing shareholders.

As a result of the major restructuring WYG's listing on the stock
exchange will be transferred from the Main Market to the
Alternative Investment Market, the report notes.

* UK: Administrations Down 2% in 2009, Deloitte Research Shows
--------------------------------------------------------------
According to research by business advisory firm Deloitte, the
total number of companies falling into administration in 2009 saw
a marginal drop of 2% from 3,245 in 2008 down to 3,188.  The last
quarter of 2009 saw a drop of 18% on the previous quarter, with a
total of 599 companies falling into administration compared with
733 in Q309.  Quarter on quarter there was a dramatic drop of 41%
with 1008 companies falling into administration in Q408.

Lee Manning, reorganization services partner at Deloitte
commented: "We saw a sharp rise in the number of administrations
at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, which reflected the
peak of the recession.  As the year progressed we saw lenders
become more versatile, increasingly adopting solutions such as
debt for equity swaps and covenant resets with companies
aggressively attacking costs and improving cash management,
including undertaking CVAs.

"This has enabled many businesses to weather the economic storm,
but the question remains for how long?

"Traditionally in the UK, one of the first sectors to be hit when
a recession arises is the property and construction industry.  In
2008 this sector bore the brunt of administrations, with 716
property and construction companies falling into administration:
this figure fell marginally by 5% last year to 683.  While this
reduction is not unexpected, as many of the weaker companies would
have collapsed at an early stage of the downturn, property and
construction continues to dominate the total percentage of
administrations, accounting for 21% of the total figure.

"Unsurprisingly, the hospitality and leisure sector experienced an
increase in the number of failures as consumers cut back on
discretionary spending, partially reflective of the impact of the
recession on employment.  Total administrations in this sector
were up 9% year on year from 263 in 2008 to 287 in 2009.  We
believe that the relative weakness of sterling is a reason why
this sector has not declined further.

"We would not expect the rate at which administrations have
declined in the past two quarters to continue, if anything, we
would expect a modest increase in the first quarter of this year."

Key Stats:

   * Total administrations for 2009 down 2% from 3,245 in 2008, to
     3,188 in 2009;

   * Q409 saw 599 administrations, compared with 733 in Q309 a
     decline of 18%, and a 41% drop on Q408 which saw 1008
     companies fall into administration;

   * Property and construction saw a drop of 5% in the number of
     administrations from 716 in 2008 to 683 in 2009, Q409 had 129
     administrations, down 17% on Q309 which saw 155
     administrations;

   * Property and construction administrations account for 21% of
     the total number of administrations;

   * Financial services saw a drop of 9%, with 59 administrations
     in 2009, compared with 65 in 2008, Q409 had 8
     administrations, down 50% on the 16 in Q309;

   * Hospitality and leisure saw a rise of 9%, with 287 companies
     falling into administration in 2009 compared with 263 in
     2008, Q409 saw 63 administrations rising 8% from 58 in Q309.


* UK: HMRC Number One Creditor to Request Company Liquidations
--------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the "time to pay" scheme in place, HM Revenue & Customs
continues to be the number one creditor to request the winding up
of companies to recover debts owed to it, shows research from UHY
Hacker Young, the national accounting group.

According to the research by UHY Hacker Young, HMRC submitted 43%
of all petitions for the past 6 months to wind-up companies to
recover debt.  It shows that despite the Governments sympathetic
stance towards businesses during the recession, HMRCs priority
remains to maximize debt recovery.

The research is based on a sample of over 650 petitions.

Nick Hancock Partner at UHY Hacker Young commented: "If a business
has unpaid tax and does not have a time to pay agreement in place,
HMRC is still prepared to pull the plug on that business to
recover what it is owed.

"The most important message for businesses is that they cannot
allow themselves to fall behind with tax payments and then hope
for HMRCs good will.  They have to open up dialogue with HMRC as
soon as they foresee cash flow problems and negotiate a realistic
time to pay agreement.

"UHY Hacker Young adds that businesses that have cash flow
problems should make the most of the time to pay scheme while it
is still available as HMRC is expected to make access to the
scheme tougher."

Mr. Hancock said: "Other major creditors, such as banks, have come
under political pressure to go easy on debtors, yet for all HMRCs
good intentions, it still accounts for a large chunk of winding-up
petitions.

"If this is HMRC in soft touch mode, businesses will be concerned
about HMRC turning the screws after the Election as it strives to
improve the public finances.

"Company Directors who cant come to a workable agreement with the
taxman, or who break the terms of an agreement, will find that
HMRC will be very quick to push the button on their business."

* EUROPE: Banks Need Billions More in Deposits and Capital
----------------------------------------------------------
Patrick Jenkins at The Financial Times, citing debut analysis by
the new European bank research team at Barclays Capital, reported
that most of Europe's biggest banks will have to raise billions
more in deposits as well as capital if they are to avoid having to
shrink dramatically.

According to the FT, two of Ireland's troubled banks -- Allied
Irish and Bank of Ireland -- and Royal Bank of Scotland top the
BarCap list of 20 banks that are "too big to fail" and are
therefore likely to attract higher capital requirements as well as
be called upon to match lending more closely with deposits.

"For some banks the impact would be penal (Irish, RBS)," the
BarCap research concluded, the FT noted.

The FT disclosed the report follows the publication last month of
new regulatory proposals from the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision, which were unexpectedly tough, particularly in
relation to the liquid funds that banks should hold in future.

Under the BarCap scenario, which assumes regulators will demand a
2 percentage point higher capital ratio of "too big to fail"
institutions, Allied Irish would need to raise more than 600% of
its current market capitalization in fresh equity, Bank of Ireland
nearly 350% and RBS 165%, the FT said.

The FT noted only Credit Suisse, UBS, Dexia, Societe Generale and
BBVA are deemed to have no additional capital requirement.

                            *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than US$3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/booksto order any title today.
