So! The troubles grow in Thailand for former leader and football fan Thaksin Shinawatra. As protests become more intense in Bangkok, the knock-on effects for the football club he owns, Manchester City, are clear. A trivial matter compared to the travails of a country, obviously.
A wry smile from ickledot, however, as for the second week running pundit Lee Dixon declared on Match of the Day 2 that there was no better man to be in charge of footballing matters in these troubled times than City’s manager, Mark Hughes. One cannot help thinking that the likelihood of this crisis happening were plain to see when Hughes took the job only a matter of weeks ago and his ‘world-view’ radar may not be quite as finely tuned as his football senses. The sensible option might have been to remain in the relatively secure waters of Blackburn. We shall see.
