Shinawatra: Sale Rumours Untrue

Some newspaper reports suggested on Thursday that Thaksin would put the vast majority of his squad on the transfer-list as a punishment, but the former Thai Prime Minister claims that the reports are wide of the mark.

"There is absolutely no truth to this story or any of the allegations," Thaksin informed Sky Sports.

"I appreciate the progress and performance of the whole squad, managed by Sven Goran Eriksson, this season."

CITY GET FAIR PLAY PLACE

Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has branded Manchester City's back-door entry into the UEFA Cup as a dream - but while it could hardly be described as a nightmare for owner Thaksin Shinawatra, it might give the Blues owner a few sleepless nights.

Thaksin is currently carrying out a full review of Eriksson's first season in charge, apparently set on getting rid of the former England manager.

City fans have already made their opposition clear in a massive rally at their Eastlands home the weekend before last, pointing out Eriksson had delivered a top-10 finish, which was the pre-season aim.

"It is like the dream came true," Eriksson told the club's website, www.mcfc.co.uk.

"Our dream to play in Europe has been strong all season. At one point we were almost sure to get there, at other points we have been almost out of it but now this news is absolutely fantastic."

Although City finished only sixth in the English Fair Play table the five clubs above them had already qualified for Europe so they took the UEFA Cup berth, pipping Fulham despite having captain Richard Dunne sent off in their final match - the 8-1 hammering at Middlesbrough.

This could save Sven... Must be his lucky day...

sure or not? i don't think thaksin, eccentric as he is, will do something like this.

and guess what? man city is in the eufa cup next season! their wish came true. that definitely call for some level-headedness in the running of the club.

I think if Thaksin would made his hair blue the City fans will start to trust him...

just look at their compensation package.

if all player can find buyer?

he sending a message amid a wrong one to all players, he is the boss, not sven.

but the forgot, he need the fans. no club in the world can survive without the fans.

who would like to play for man city? a club without the fans.

next season, he could be relegated!

City supporters should not be contended with a 9th place finish. Should have the same ambitions as Everton or Aston Villa - aim for a UEFA Cup spot. I don't blame Thaksin for thinking that - he's doing a Roman Abramovich, you know?

Getting to Europe is not as sweet as doing the double over United... lol

Whats the point of getting into the Uefa cup and meet all those 2nd class European clubs... even the prize money is like peanuts compare to the CL... Lesser even than what Derby gets for going down... lol

Sven will always have his place with the City fans... lol

the reason for selling the whole team i suspect is because they are for sven and the last thrashing by boro was a message for the thai that they would revolt….so rather then trying to appease the team, just get rid of the whole lot…they are a mediocre team to start with, no harm looking for new ‘parts’...barca has a handful of players leaving, on the wrong side of 20 but still fit enough to carry on…start from there….

the power of tom yam….lol…..having gone through a coup, i guess he’s unwilling to go through another one….there could be a silver lining for city though….a clean slate for the new manager to work from scratch…..plenty of names out of contract and out of favour….get some experienced players and mesh them with new names might do the trick….
