  CITY THAI TAKEOVER ON CARDS - REPORT
  Posted 23/04/07 07:48
  
  Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is reported to be considering a £92.2million buy-out of Manchester City.
  
  The former policeman made his fortune with Thailand's biggest communications group Shin Corp and was interested in purchasing a 30% stake in Liverpool in 2004.
  
  The 57-year-old, who is reported to have a personal fortune of £560million, is believed to own a property near Kingston-upon-Thames.
  
  Thaksin's legal counsel, Noppadon Pattama, refused to confirm or deny the report but told Thai newspaper The Nation: "As soon as [Thaksin] finishes his vacation, I will ask him about it and hold a news conference."
  
  HEY! THAT's OUR(sg) MONEY!

  This shows that SG can buy EPL soccer clubs actually, but choose to invest in some tainted "shincorp".
  
  End up giving ppl money to buy EPL instead!
