However there was better news on bond markets

However there was better news on bond markets where the yield on both Spanish and Italian government bonds fell for a second day in response to the decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) to intervene on behalf of the weakened eurozone members and to begin buying up Spanish and Italian debt in order to reduce the two countries' borrowing costs. Both are struggling to avoid the kind of bailouts necessary to rescue ailing Greece, Portugal and Ireland.

Elena Salgado, the Spanish finance minister, insisted yesterday that her country did not need a bailout. She said Spain's total debt was 20 percentage points below the EU average.

Germany had been critical of the ECB's plan to prop up Spain and Italy, arguing that both countries should impose more stringent austerity measures before the bank intervened.

Alan Brown, chief investment officer at the fund-management group Schroders, blamed weak economic data across the eurozone, Britain and America over the past weeks, for the nervous markets. "Investors are recognising that the authorities have very few policy levers left," he said. "They have exhausted fiscal options and interest rates in most places are at rock bottom."

Cruijff returns to Ajax after 23 years

Cruijff returns to Ajax after 23 years

Johan Cruijff has returned to Ajax in an official function 23 years after he quit the club as a coach. The 64-year-old club legend will be part of the new supervisory board.

After the members council agreed to the appointment of the new supervisory board 42 days ago, the shareholders gave their approval as well on Monday in Amsterdam.

The new board, including chairman Steven ten Have and former player Edgar Davids, were elected unanimously, while Cruijff had 10 votes against him. Some of the shareholders were irritated by the fact that Cruijff was the only new commissioner who wasn't present at the extraordinary general meeting.

"We already had received some signals that he wouldn't come," said the new chairman Ten Have. "But we did hope until the last moment that Johan would come anyway."

The new supervisory board's first job will be to look for a suitable CEO, a successor to Rik van den Boog. Cruijff's personal favorite new director, former player Tscheu La Ling, did not get the support of the other commissioners.
