If there's a lesson from this Man City debacle it's that they need to return to the non corrupt and ethical ownership of Thaksin Shinawatra

Looking for something else and I am reminded that, in 2008, "MANCHESTER CITY owner Thaksin Shinawatra’s struggle to clear his name and recover £800m took another turn for the worse yesterday when a court in Bangkok accepted charges in a third criminal case against the former Thai PM"

Assuming that City's appeal fails dismally, then do the current owners go the same way as Thaksin Shinawatra? How can they be "fit and proper"? #ManCity

They have elevated themselves to among the elite through serious cheating. Everything should be done to return them to where they were. Ideally before Thaksin "Frank" Shinawatra turned up but everyone forgets him.

Who would win an arm wrestle between Peter Swales, Thaksin Shinawatra, and Sheikh Mansour for dodgiest owner of Manchester City?

We Manchester City fans fear relegation and losing trophies … but club are bang to rights
Despite attempts to legally filibuster the charges out of existence for the past three years, we’ve rightfully failed
It couldn’t have been more prophetic. In 2008, 15 years before Manchester City were charged with financial fraud, fans started singing “City’s going down with a billion in the bank” to the tune of Yellow Submarine. This was because the former Thailand president Thaksin Shinawatra’s 15-month ownership of City had come to an abrupt end when more than £1bn of his assets were frozen. And although Sheikh Mansour of the UAE had stepped in to save City, we were sinking fast.
Despite the UAE’s untold riches, by December we were in the relegation zone. It’s called Cityitis – shorthand for our tendency to self-destruct when things appear to be going well. In fact we won trophy after trophy. But we continued to sing the song about going down with a billion in the bank. When the financial fair play investigation was launched in 2018, the chant got louder. Then in 2023 we learned there were more than 100 charges. The chant became even louder and more cavalier. And now that our grubby, griftin’, cheatin’ chicken has come home to roost, you can bank on one thing (if banks still deal with us) – the chanting will be louder and more cavalier than ever.

But the Thai right is not sincerely concerned with those things. It is essentially fighting the same imaginary fight over sovereignty that one sees in its neverending battles with UNESCO, with Cambodia over Preah Vihear, with Thaksin over an alleged "sale of the country."
