[Power to people]

Didn''t Milan do the same thing at Pompey - i.e. selling to a foreign consortium - and look what happened

I can tell thee that King power are one of the shiftiest and most corrupt organisations in Thailand. They are notoriously corrupt.

So Mandaric has allegedly sold up to a dodgy group...No change there then, as Gaydamak wasn't exactly clean.

Surely that can't possibly be the case as the Football League's new Directors and Owners Test (nee FPPT) is guaranteed to weed out any dodgy characters. Oh.

BR, got any links etc on King Power Group?

There's a well known scam here for starters.

The moral of the story, keep out of the bangkok airport shops.

There's a lot of other stuff which I can't find right now. It is well know that they won the airport contract because they where pals with Thaksin, who was overseeing the new airport whilst making his bank account fatter.

To be fair, they are just one of many corrupt Thai organisations. They just have the bigger bankroll over the competition.

The thing is about these people is that Thai's in general are so fucking ignorant to the rest of the world, that they will believe that they can get away with stuff like this anywhere. They are incredibly egotistical and believe that they are god.

Thaksin tried to buy Liverpool with the Thai tax-payers money, without consulting anybody. Even a bunch of scousers said no to that little plan.

King power will go to Leicester thinking that they can buy their own with with the FA etc with nice little bribes and the like. I reckon that they will be throwing bungs left right and centre to agents and players because that's just the way that business is done in Thailand.

Apparently Mandaric has a stake in the consortium and is staying as chairman
