Thaksin Shinawatra is no longer welcome at
Manchester City
Manchester
City have finally severed ties with
disgraced former owner Thaksin Shinawatra.Thaksin made a £50m
profit when he sold City to current owner Sheikh Mansour of the Abu
Dahbi Royal Family last summer.
And although the former prime minister of Thailand was initially
handed the title of Honorary President at the City of Manchester
Stadium, it is understood that he has now been stripped of the
title.
Thaksin was informed by conference call last week that he was no
longer welcome at City. His name has been removed from the matchday
programme and from the wall in the boardroom at the club.
City's former owner is essentially a fugitive at the moment
after refusing to return to Thailand to answer corruption charges
at the end of last year.
He has also been divorced by his wife since he sold City to ease
his own financial problems last year.
