Arrest warrant for City chief Thaksin
-
Thailand's Supreme Court has issued an arrest warrant for Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra.
The former Thai Prime Minister, who has been living in self-imposed exile in England, took over City in the summer and installed ex-England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson as manager.
The Thai attorney general issued the warrant for Thaksin and his wife Pojamarn, in connection with corruption charges over a controversial land purchase deal in Bangkok.
The first hearing on the case started today and the defendants' lawyers asked for the hearing to be indefinitely delayed on grounds that Thaksin and his wife felt it was unsafe for them to travel to Thailand. -
Will MC implode now that their boss might go anytime?

i read the article on man city featured in TNP.
they actually loaned 40 million for the transfers. i wonder if john burridges's worries might actually come true. -
the worse is yet to happen

Hey that's a Man u shirt he is holding leh on the first post... Maybe should use this one more appropriate...

john burridges's worries are real and true. if thaksin really goes to jail and have his assets frozen, manc will surely go the way of leeds

he cause the downfall of ManCity

because if they loaned money means they need to pay back slowly. but with interest.
so hopefully they'll release his assets to pay back by then. -
In the first place, the current Thai govrnment isn't even legitimate. What authority do they have to arrest people?
-
i bet he will just ignore them.

I hope Man City doesn't end up like Leeds. Otherwise United will only be left with Liverpool as their fiercest Rivals.
Cheers.
