Thaksin Shinawatra’s comeback bid suffered a near-fatal setback this week, when the Constitutional Tribune dissolved the Thai Rak Thai Party. Loyal members have been issued a 5 year ban on any political activities. While Thaksin was not asked to step down as head of the Thai PGA, the ruling military junta has suggested that the former prime minister should remain out of the country for the foreseeable future.

The great-grandson of Seng Sae Khu, infamous Chinese racketeer, is not an idler and last month a wave of rumors that the deposed leader was renewing his efforts to buy an English Premiership team echoed around the world.

Manchester City for 130 million pounds.

This second-rate team had suffered a tough year under a coach known as ‘Psycho’.

Man City needs help.

Thaksin’s family name Shinawatra literally means ‘does good routinely’ and Man City fans responded to the potential cash salvation of their club with enthusiasm, although unable to pronounce his name Man City supporters have dubbed him “Sinatra’.

Thaksin Sinatra has a ring to it and few people are privy to Thaksin’s affection for the legendary crooner. The ex-PM has been heard at karaokes singing THE SUMMER RAIN and NEW YORK NEW YORK. Thai Rak Thai followers say that if you close your eyes than you can actually think that you are listening to the crooner from Hoboken.

So Old Blue Eyes rides again and Thaksin will use the TV broadcasts to show Thais that he still loves them most. Thai Rak Thai forever.

“The summer wind came rolling in from beyond the sea.”
