WHAT NEXT FOR THAKSIN ?

Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted Prime Minister of Thailand, has been ordered to return to Thailand by the end of this month or face an arrest warrant being issued for allegedly concealing ownership of millions of dollars worth of shares from the Thai Stock Exchange.
This is a gamble, in my opinion, by the ruling military junta because just a few weeks ago their message to him was pretty much 'don't come back'. Having Thaksin back in Thailand might trigger further political instability. And where does this leave his current deal to buy Manchester City Football Club? My bet is that deal will collapse because City will deem the deal too risky. What happens if their owner is being potentially being tried in a foreign country and could face jail? A big 'if' I know, but lots will happen in the next few weeks.
