Thaksin has reportedly put the entire Manchester
City squad up for sale.
Not content with getting rid of their best manager
for years, Thaksin Shinawatra has reportedly put the entire
Manchester City squad up for sale.
Despite having to undergo the humiliation of representing his
boss on a tour to Thailand, Sven Goran Eriksson is expected to be
sacked in the coming weeks, and now The Daily Express reports that
Shinawatra is so unhappy with City's performances this season that
he wants a wholesale clear-out at Eastlands.
The paper claims that Shinawatra wants rid of every player on
City's books - including star performers and huge assets Micah
Richards, Michael Johnson and Joe Hart.
Shinawatra has reportedly sent a letter to each member of the
City sqaud expressing his feelings, and wants to start next season
with a whole new squad to go with his new manager.
According to The Express, the latest shambolic developments have
prompted a distraught City chairman John Wardle to apologise to the
squad for selling the club to Shinawatra in the first place.
The former Thai prime minister won't be short of interested
parties for his players. Richard Dunne is expected to move to
Newcastle for around £5million, while Liverpool and Arsenal are
thought to be interested in Johnson, while Hart is reportedly a
target for Tottenham.
Richards would most likely command the highest fee, with Chelsea
and Manchester United both apparently interested.
