These aren’t my pics, but this is pretty amazing stuff – a real Thai flavour to quintessential of English sports fare. These are making the internet rounds in Thailand and it is good.
For those not following this:
1) Popular Thai prime minister ousted in coup (not really for corruption, but because of his arrogance and his lock on power and populist policies that had displaced the Bangkok-based bureaucracy).
2) Ousted prime minister uses part of his billions of dollars from selling his telecom company to buy Manchester City premier league club. Until convicted, the former prime minister can’t really be called an undesirable owner. He will be convicted in Thailand, but so what?
3) Manchester City holds Thai-style party and these pics are making the rounds.
For the record, I bought a whole lot of Man City gear online to hand out to my colleagues who still hate, hate, hate the former prime minister. So, I'm having a lot of fun in a non-sportsman like way.
