"Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has moved into pole position to buy Manchester City after he was granted access to the club's accounts.
Shinawatra's accountants will complete due diligence at City before advising their client whether to make a formal bid for the club.
Shinawatra has been heavily linked with a near ฃ100million move for the Eastlands outfit over the weekend and contact was finally made on Monday.
After failing in his efforts to buy Liverpool three years ago, Shinawatra has not been put off getting involved in the Premiership and sees City as an ideal opportunity."
I also read somewhere that Taksin's bid includes a 50 million pound transfer kitty...
I've got the feeling that this is going to happen.........Taksin/Allardyce at Citeh.
Given the strength of the two personalities though, I can't see it lasting long..
I wonder if the old backroom staff will be kept on..................but in innactive roles.............
