It is easy enough for Thaksin Shinawatra to fool those rural villagers that this billionaire in dapper suit would come down to barren earth, eat their som-tams, sympathize with their daily deprivations, and promise to lift them from their poverty with the quickThaksin cash handout as downpayment (during elections). I did NOT however expect that it would be much easier for a Thaksin Shinawatra, already disgraced in his humble Thailand, but with a flash of few deca-millions (much cheaper than buying a majority vote Thaksin must have thought) to quickly win 'fit and proper' credentials to the Premier League Owners' circle. Now I don't begrude Thaksin his Manchester city venture and I wish him the best that he might find his permanent home in a Manchester city address, citizenship included. And I won't question that Thaksin Shinawatra is qualified to be 'fit and proper' in Manchester city circles and anywhere else. It just sort of hit me however that at any place where Thaksin Shinawatra is around, Thaksin Shinawatra always succeed to get the shine while those around him gets the burn.
