Thaksin - Why I sold City
-
Manchester City chairman Thaksin Shinawatra says he is selling the club to help them move forward and compete at the highest level.
Beset with problems off the pitch, the former Thai Prime Minister agreed to sell out to the Abu Dhabi United Group on transfer deadline day.
The mega-rich new owners then gave fans a glimpse of the future with Robinho's shock £32.5million British record move to City later the same day.
Shinawatra was at Eastlands to see the Blues lose 3-1 to Chelsea on Saturday and he told Sky Sports that he needed help to push the club on.
He told Sky Sports News: "I need someone that can really move the club forward.
"So during my difficulty, it is very difficult for me by myself to push the club forward because the competition is getting fiercer and fiercer and the players are getting more expensive so we need deeper and deeper pockets, an owner that really loves football and would like to push the club forward."

nothing to do with someone else bringing the club forward, just that his acc was being frozen back in Thailand, so kinda no choice...

Will they become the biggest club in Manchester in 5 years time? Stay tunned

They will be biggest disappointment in EPL
You say the ADIG's wish list for players? All midfielders and strikers no defenders so i guess they score 5 and lose 6-5

i think the reversal of fortune is not an impossibility.
1. man city is clearly richer than man u now (at least on paper). when they go on a buying spree in jan 09, we will know the magnitude of this team.
2. SAF cannot last 5 years. i am pretty sure man u will be ordinary post-SAF.
3. blue is clearly the new red in manchester.
