West Ham being sold again?

[fred milne]

Breaking news on the Guardian website.

[CarraLegend]

Dont think its sold again, just that Magnusson going and the bloke who owned most of the club now owns all of it

[Zoob]

The Egg man has lefteth.

[Rimbeux]

Was this announced a while back? Magnusson stepping aside for the real owners

[M4TTA]

sky news reporting he's sold his share and left the club.

[Extraordinary Swindle]

About time he fecked off, the Egg headed numpty. If he got his way the Premier League teams would be a globetrotting circus - "Let's move the big Premiership games to the U.S. and milk the cash cow."

[Spike]

it was worth having him there though for those pictures of him looking progressively more pissed off as wez tarm tootled their way to near relegation

[RP]

No money laundering going on here.

[whitewidow]

For who? Björgólfur Guðmundsson is the majority owner of Landsbanki.....

[Logic]

No money laundering going on here.

 

Who's doing the supposed laundering? Björgólfur or Egghead?

Russia.

[MarkD]

Russia.

 

10/10.

[RP]

Who'd'a'thot it?

[Logic]

So any money made in Russia needs to be laundered?

 

And if it needed laundering... why would they use a high profile football club to do it when they already have other much more important investments up and running?

That makes no sense.

looks like a little bomb!

[MarkD]

It is quite remarkable that the FA/Premier League have completed the due diligence and fit for purpose reviews so quickly!!

[Logic]

That makes no sense.

Probably not but it still makes more sense than thinking Egghead selling his 5% to Björgólfur has anything to do with money laundering....

I would never dream of suggesting such a thing - as I said, no money laundering going on here.

 

Heaven forbid such a thing would happen - given the Icelandic angle to the whole question of ownership - would/could never happen.

No that sale - but more the individuals involved throughout, where the overall funding came from etc. Also, it seems that he was a covenient front man to get the sale completed and then those mentioned in the article I pasted appear to run the place. Just a few thoughts...
