    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Thaksin Shinawatra could bring members of the Thailand national team to Manchester City after gaining total control of the club, according to his lawyer.

    The former Thai Prime Minister has now accumulated at least 75 per cent of the club's shares, allowing him to de-list City from the London Stock Exchange.

    Shinawatra has been steadily building up his shares in recent weeks and his lawyer Noppadol Pattama claims he now has control of the Premier League side.

    "The Shinawatra family has managed to acquire at least 75 per cent of shares in the holding company of Manchester City Football Club," said Noppadol at a news conference.

    "Total control has been transferred to the family."

    Shinawatra will now turn his attention to continuing to fund new manager Sven Goran Eriksson's summer spending spree.

    Eriksson has already signed Rolando Bianchi, Gelson Fernandes and Geovanni, and is keen to make further additions.

    The Swede could also see his squad flavoured by players from the Thailand national team, according to Noppadol.

    The lawyer added: "The next step is to recruit or to buy new players from several national teams, such as Italy, Sweden, Brazil and Thailand.

    "We expect to select at least two Thai players from our national team to join Manchester City." </div>

    Took long enough didn't it? Man City fans will be glad it's finally completed, they can focus on buying new players

    Thailand is crap, we beat them 4-0 [​IMG]

    They didn't have many good players but that's what happens when you get taken over.
