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."
