RARE ALERT: Barclays could name CFO as new boss

Most of the London market is likely to be transfixed on the Budget.

However, over here in Betavilleland we like to get on with teasing out corporate stories while the Government overloads the financial reporting community with a ton of news.

So, here is a juicy bit of RARE: it would appear John Macfarlane, the chairman of Barclays, has indicated to some of the bank's largest shareholders that Tushar Morzaria, currently group finance director, may become the next CEO. Well, that's what my man who claims to have the inside track told me this morning.

I have to admit I don't know much about Morzaria but a quick glance at his bio - http://www.home.barclays/about-barclays/leadership-team/tushar-morzaria.html - tells me he used to work in investment banking at SG Warburg, JP Morgan and Credit Suisse.

It does, though, seem like an odd choice given Barclays has been trying to get move away from having former investment bankers as chief executives. Or, perhaps it's a simple case of plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose...

This story has a RARE disclaimer. For readers that don't recall what RARE is, here is the definition:

Market gossip that hasn't been tested through formal journalistic channels (public relations executives, bankers etc). The rumour might be total codswallop but then again there may be something in it, so it's worth airing on Betaville.

  2. Testimony On How My Life was Transform through the help of a God-sent Lender..

    Hello everyone, I am writing this Testimony because am really grateful for what Mason Diego did for me and my family, when I thought there was no hope he came and make my family feel alive again by lending us loan at a very low interest rate of 2%. Well I have been searching for a loan to settle my debts for the past three months all I met scammed and took my money until I finally met a God sent Lender. I never thought that there are still genuine loan lenders on the internet but to my greatest surprise i got my loan without wasting much time so if you are out there looking for a loan of any amount i would advise you to email Mr Diego via: { diegoloancompany@yahoo.com } or call (608) 728-8913 and be free of internet scams. thanks... Kathie Roper from California, USA.
