Historical Figures
Owner
Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra purchased Manchester City in 2007 for approximately 81.6 million pounds. His controversial tenure lasted just over a year before he sold to the Abu Dhabi United Group. Shinawatra appointed Sven-Goran Eriksson as manager and backed significant transfer spending, but his ownership was overshadowed by his political troubles in Thailand.
