mammutly said:One thing worth saying to his remaining fans though is that Thaksin almost single handedly scuppered the ADUG deal with his personal demands. Mr Cooke & others had a hell of job to persuade him. He was quite prepared to recoup his own investment another way by selling off assets (including all the players if necessary) at the cost of City going down the pan.
Saviour? My arse.
Haha, he was obviously a shifty fucker and morally reprehensible but I don't reckon that's true. I imagine one of the key factors why ADUG bought us, and not say Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton or Newcastle, was because of his close contacts with the Arab world.
