The paper claimed that “the Tinkerman”, has told the group behind the Far East bid that he will quit Parma to head for the Premiership in the next fortnight.
“We hope the deal will be formally concluded by early June.” On Sunday, the People reported that Claudio Ranieri had committed himself to the manager’s job at City. “Everything is going smoothly,” Thaksin’s lawyer Noppadon Pattama told Reuters. The Shinawatra camp is sure that all is going well, however. Bearing in mind that Thaksin’s finances are the subject of much speculation in his homeland, the authorities there were interested to discover whether his bid for the club is a genuine one, and not just a ruse to ship out funds from the country. Tinkering With the Deal: Reports from Thailand this week suggested that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s deal for City was being held up because he hadn’t yet submitted a proposal to withdraw money from the country. We have opinion on the current candidates and Inside MCFC. Tonight’s news from Don contains all the very latest on managerial speculation, takeover, City old and new boys, and international action. Depending upon which news sources you believe, Ranieri who has now quit Parma is awaiting the Shinawatra bid before deciding whether to come to City or stay in Italy, and worryingly some circles are linking us with Souness should any takeover fail to happen and we revert to Plan F. The transfer window opens on Friday 1 June and, despite players leaving, we have no manager at present to start to assemble his squad, which is quite a worry. What this now means in terms of the potential takeover is anybody’s guess.
We’ve had Ranson withdraw from the race to buy the club, and the Thai bid gone all quiet as the ruling there this week found Shinawatra’s party disbanded and him banned from political activity for 5 years. Who said following City is dull? Well maybe performances this past season were at times, but off pitch it’s still all go.
