Wasn't Shinawatra still in charge then and he sanctioned those signings. I'm not sure what exactly went down during that summer and maybe others may know....prestwichblue (maybe). However I think our current owners took over on the last day, and then whoooosh the Robinho signing:-)
Apart from Jo I personally don’t think it was Shinawatra that made them signings. Around the time we played AC Milan in a friendly it was rumored there was going to be a fire sale at the club. Ireland was being shipped off to Sunderland behind Hughes back I seem to remember until Hughes threatened to quit the club. So with Shinawatra’s assets all frozen how did we manage to find £20m + for the other 3??
