SHINAWATRA PUTS ENTIRE CITY SQUAD UP FOR SALE

Thaksin has reportedly put the entire Manchester City squad up for sale.
Not content with getting rid of their best manager for years, Thaksin Shinawatra has reportedly put the entire Manchester City squad up for sale.
Despite having to undergo the humiliation of representing his boss on a tour to Thailand, Sven Goran Eriksson is expected to be sacked in the coming weeks, and now The Daily Express reports that Shinawatra is so unhappy with City's performances this season that he wants a wholesale clear-out at Eastlands.
The paper claims that Shinawatra wants rid of every player on City's books - including star performers and huge assets Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and Joe Hart.
Shinawatra has reportedly sent a letter to each member of the City sqaud expressing his feelings, and wants to start next season with a whole new squad to go with his new manager.
According to The Express, the latest shambolic developments have prompted a distraught City chairman John Wardle to apologise to the squad for selling the club to Shinawatra in the first place.
The former Thai prime minister won't be short of interested parties for his players. Richard Dunne is expected to move to Newcastle for around £5million, while Liverpool and Arsenal are thought to be interested in Johnson, while Hart is reportedly a target for Tottenham.
Richards would most likely command the highest fee, with Chelsea and Manchester United both apparently interested.

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….

Nothing wrong if he can choose and buy all the right players and form one whole new squad.
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?

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….

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