and will make Thaksin Shinawatra
pay for his wild spending spree.Sheikh Mansour bin Zahed Al Nahyan has sent in his top financial experts to do due diligence on City before
finalising figures for the proposed takeover of the Eastlands club.
The Abu Dhabi-based bidder wants to know the extent of the debts clocked NIXON up by the Thai
who has run up major bills in just over a year in charge.
City are keeping the figures quiet but expert estimates are that Shinawatra could have taken City over
£100million into the red - and the Arabs will take that out of the money they plan to pay for the club.
The whirlwind takeover talks, carried out by Sulaiman Al Fahim, who was fronting the bid, did not reveal
the whole story of Shinawatra's spending at City and now the books are being opened for the first time.
