Thaksin Shinawatra: One Year at Manchester City - a podcast by BBC World Service

The former Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra looks back on his time at the club. He talks about his relationship with Sven Goran Eriksson, being forced to sell the club after his assets were frozen and how he wanted Claudio Ranieri to be coach.



Also on the programme, Turkey's clubs come together to tackle violence and corruption. We catch up with two Englishmen playing in Bangladesh. And what's the point of FIFA's legends matches?
