OzzieMandias Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 On 17 August 2005, he was charged by a court in Reykjavík with 40 counts of breaking the Icelandic penal code, Accounting Act, Annual Accounts Act and Companies Act. Most of them are related to transactions between him and Baugur. The Supreme court sent most of the charges back to the Reykjavik district court in the fall of 2005 on the base of technicalities. In February 2007, the case was still underway. Great! A sort of Icelandic Thaksin! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceMag Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Here's the translation I did and posted on Toontastic: According to sources, Icelandic businessmen Pálmi Haraldsson and Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson are seriously considering launching a bid to the English football club Newcastle United. Negotiations have been going on for some time without any contracts having been signed. Pálmi Haraldsson did not want to deny or confirm this story when Visir contacted him. "Newcastle is a great club, with a great manager and I have been a fan for a long time" said Pálmi and laughed. Mike Ashley is a sports retailer in Brittain and he bought the club in June. It isn't unlikely that Ashley knows of Pálmi and Jón, for they have been very public in retailing in Brittain recently. Ashley bought his majoraty in Newcastle for 134 pounds in the end of May while Eggert Magnusson and Björólfur Guðmundsson bought West Ham United for 85 million pounds. Last week Ashley paid off 30 million pounds of the 80 million pound debt that Newcastle had. This is considered to be a part in making the club easier to sell in the eyes of investers. Newcastle is an immensly big club, the 13th biggest in the world today. It's fans are very loyal to the club, and the club's stadium, St. James' Park, is sold out most matches.

IceMag Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 BREAKING NEWS IN ICELAND: Alan Shearer is with Haraldsson and Jóhannesson in talks of buying the club. Talks are very far ahead and a bid is expected very soon. I'm pretty sure this is true, Iceland is a very small country and when something like this is reported it is almost always true. It's worth a mention that this news station was the first to report that Magnusson and co. were buying West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
