I have just finished reading the BBC Sports Webpage which announced that Ex Thai Prime Minister and Current Owner of Manchester City Thaksin Shinawatra has told Sven Goren Eriksson that “he is not the right man to coach Manchester City”. The news was the equivalent of a volcano exploding with rage in my head.

Jesus Christ once said: “He is who is without sin, cast the first stone”. Sven Goren Eriksson has been the right man to coach in England especially Manchester City. He has been able to rebuild a team and probably save it from relegation. Sven Goren Eriksson has also been great when he was Coach of the English National Team. Thaksin Shinawatra cannot comment on Sven Goren Eriksson’s performance as Coach when he was not in contact with him during the second half of the season. Eriksson wanted to sign new players but had to wait for Thaksin’s Approval which never came. Sven Goren Eriksson is a kind and decent man compared to Thaksin Shinawatra.

In my opinion, Thaksin Shinawatra was never the right man to own Manchester City. He just simply the right man for one thing only and that is money. Thaksin Shinawatra is money making machine but he is also an individual of dubious character who made his money by stealing from his country. His contract with Sven Goren Eriksson was for five years under the condition that Manchester City remains in the top ten at the end of the 2007-2008 seasons. Manchester City is currently in ninth place with fifty five points and can still remain within the top ten. It appears that not only money is involved but the fact that Thaksin Shinawatra may have been jealous or envious of a person like Sven Goren Eriksson. The jealousy and envy can explain that there was no contact between the two during the second half of the season except for Thaksin Shinawatra to tell Eriksson that he will no longer coach Manchester City and the contract. Thaksin Shinawatra knows nothing about football and less about governing a country.

A poll of five hundred and forty two people was taken and one hundred percent believe that Sven Goren Eriksson should have remained as coach while Thaksin Shinawatra should have been removed as owner of Manchester City and deported to Thailand to face criminal charges [although that will never happen]. It remains to be seen what will transpire but Manchester City Supporters should protest this decision by a Corrupt Ex Prime Minister of Thailand who treats their club like a personal toy.
