Manchester City (an English Premier League club) has a new legendary coach (Sven Goran Eriksson), eight new players coming from all over Europe, and a new owner (Thaksin Shinawatra) footing the bill for all of it. The new owner is a little different from the other owners – he ran a country before he took over the reigns of the football club.
Yup, he was the prime minister of Thailand. Wait, this story gets better. He has been under investigation for corruption by Thailand’s government. Well that “investigation” just resulted in an arrest warrant for him as well …
