The man who told us that David Beckham was definitely not going to Real Madrid, sports editor of the MEN Peter Spencer, now believes that City are desperate for the Thai money.
'Thaksin Shinawatra could have Manchester City in his sights if his £65m bid for a 30 per cent stake in Liverpool fails. City's deputy chairman Bryan Bodek met aides to Shinawatra during the Manchester City Council backed goodwill tour of Thailand last month.'
So yet more council taxpayers' money is used to subsidise the spongers from across the city, but wait is there any substance to Spencer's story?
A club insider said: "We have had no approach. No one has asked for our accounts which would be a natural first move. However we, like the majority of clubs, would talk to anyone with this kind of money."
Ah so he made it up then still there are two grains of truth one city are desperately in need of cash if they are to avoid doing a Leeds and two Peter Spencer is a shit journalist.
