STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Top mobile phone maker Nokia reported fourth-quarter earnings and sales below market expectations on Thursday and said it expected the mobile handset market to contract about 10 percent this year. Hot StocksNokia shares fell on the news and were down 6.9 percent to 9.52 euros by 1120 GMT (6:20 a.m. EST).Following are views from analysts on the results:INGE HEYDORN, SENTAT ASSET MANAGEMENT"Expectations were low and yet Nokia missed them.

Expectations have been lowered during the past months, although they had been raised a little bit after the reports from Ericsson and Apple, which were really good. I think it is a bit of a non-event, the market is tough for handsets."THOMAS LANGER, WEST LB"If you look at earnings per share, sales figures and the downwards revision of handset expectations, clearly we have to say it's a disappointment. It's only six-seven weeks after the capital markets day and again they have had to lower volume expectations.""Earnings per share is quite significantly below expectations. I think that Q1 will be a very poor quarter for Nokia given that they expect volumes to be down by 10 percent. ) In the modern game takeovers and foreign investment are all the rage in the Premier League. But now, thanks to the takeover at Notts County by Munto Finance, clubs in the Football League are under scrutiny.Under a new ruling by the Football League Board, the actions and persons involved in the takeover at Meadow Lane are under review, as are the ownership of Leeds United and the involvement of disgraced former Formula One Team Principal Flavio Briatore at QPR.Under new rules being implemented, the Football League and, by extension, the general public would know the names of people and businesses involved in the ownership of a club in the Championship, League One, and League Two.This is all part of English Footballs attempt to clean up and become more transparent, which has become a very popular idea in the UK recently, through polticians, bankers, etc...But this latest gesture by Lord Mawhinney and his colleagues at Gloucester Palace is both needless and potentially dangerous when weighed up against the small positives that will be gained.First of all, how many football fans know exactly who owns the club they support And two, do they really careThat simple arguement aside, it is important to remember that many clubs who play their business in the Football League are only regularly on the lookout for potential investment or takeovers to make up for the crippling losses they suffered by the collapse of ITV Digital, in 2002, which is still forcing a number of clubs against the wall.ITV Digital was endorsed by the Football League, and they should share more of the blame for clubs who are in or are facing financial ruin now.But instead of helping them, they brow beat them with threats of points deductions, relegation, and transfer embargos, and are quick to enforce those punishments when one of these teams does call in the administrators.The fact of the matter is, football is a business and no longer just a sport or even simply a form of entertainment.In the world of business, companies have investors who do not wish to be named or are not involved with the day-to-day running known as silent partners. All they do is supply investment and take home a share of the profits.These people, usually successful business persons, will be frightened away from the idea of taking over at a lower league football club in this country when these rules are placed into effect.It is a dilemma, but if these people choose not to invest in football in this country they will go elsewhere, much to the future detriment of the sport here in England.. MUMBAI, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Indian commercial vehicle makerAshok Leyland Ltd (ASOK.BO) said on Thursday it had received anorder worth 4.8 billion rupees ($98 million) for the supply ofbuses from Delhi Transport Corporation.

The supply of buses will commence by middle of 2009 andwill be completed by September, it said in a statement. It also has a 12-year maintenance contract from thecorporation worth a further 7.1 billion rupees, it said.($149.1 rupees)(Reporting by Janaki Krishnan). ) The season may only be seven games old but its becoming pretty obvious that Anton Volchenkov is poised to have the best season of his career.The 27-year-old native of Moscow, Russia has been an absolute force on the Senators back end through the first seven games and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.The A-Train brings a rare blend of shot blocking skill combined with the ability to execute devastating open ice hits. Volchenkov has already claimed a handful of victims including Viktor Stalberg, John Tavares, Zach Bogosian and Victor Hedman.On Saturday, Volchenkov along with Mike Fisher and Matt Carkner combined for what had to be the most impressive penalty kill in Senators history. Volchenkov is currently in his seventh season and is often considered one of the better bargains in the NHL. Volchenkov is in the final year of a deal with a cap hit of just $2.5 million a season.Locking up Volchenkov has to be a priority for Senators GM Bryan Murray. Murray has said in the past that he expects to get something done with Volchenkov and doesn't forsee any problems in retaining the shutdown defenceman.The Senators will also have to make decisions on Alex Picard, Brian Lee, Chris Campoli and Matt Carkner this offseason. The first three will be restricted free agents while Carkner is a UFA.There are already whispers that Murray is working on an extension for Volchenkov but those talks are very much in the early stages.
