Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

[PieEater]

All on the pitch when Thaksin Shinawatra is introduced to us then...

Alternatively the 5 richest Thai's currently according to Forbes are :

The Chirathivat family (retail, property) approx $12bn
Dhanin Chearavanont (food) approx $11bn
Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi (property, beverages) approx $10bn
Chalerm Yoovidhya (beverages) approx $10bn
Krit Ratanarak (media, property) approx $5bn

There's actually not too many billionaires in the Thai list - none with the initials AJ but there was mention of some guy brokering the deal.

@CheChe_Guevara couldn't have asked for a more genuine and wealthy owner. A punt on #readingfc is like a £5 bet to the average man.

he's the only guy on twitter that's worth listening to. his source is as good as SJM.

Is he fcuk. He feeds you idiots stuff like 'big news coming maybe' and 'if this comes off it's gonna be totes amaze', without ever saying anything remotely worth listening to. You lot are so desperate to find someone itk you lap it up. It's pathetic.

It's just SPARTA with a different username.

I would have used my Ian Royal account for that.

So this geezer Manoj has a "boutique investment bank" in DIFC - that's the *chuckle* Dubai International Finance Centre - and he sits on the exec committee of Indo-European Business Forum whose advisory board is a pretty decent list of Anglo-Indian who's who one of whom is..... Mohit Burman. Just coincidence?

However, it's Manoj's bruv who has brokered the deal, allegedly with the Thais. I'll track him down or, if it comes to it, stroll across Sheikh Zayed Road and stake him out.

Not wishing to fan flames but FTR, Mr Shinawatra lives in Emirates Hills in Dubai.

Believe deal to sell #readingfc was brokered by Pairoj Piempongsant - he helped shift #mcfc to Sheikh Mansour in 2009

This guy was allegdly the broker - not called AJ, and is Thai.

Interestingly his profile says:

An avid sportsman, Pairoj also served as Vice President of the Football Association of Thailand from 1990 to 1991, was Manager of National Football Team for the 11th Asian Games (1990) and the 18th SEA Games (1991); and he is an outstanding and vocal spokesman for youth sports & welfare, safe & drug free communities, energy conservation and the overall development of human resources throughout the country.

Today, Pairoj is actively engaged as a Senior Advisor to the International Engineering (Public) Co., Ltd., helping the management to restructure and diversify the company to become more profitable and growth oriented with respect to market opportunities in the Telecom, IT Services, Energy, Water Utility and Logistics fields. In addition, he is also Senior Advisor to Empire Consultants Co., Ltd, a Bangkok-based think tank and consulting firm that advises Thai & foreign companies and clients on a wide range of business development and trade & investment activities in Thailand and throughout the region. He is also a Senior Advisor to the Red Bull Group of Beijing, China, assisting the company in its day-to-day business activities, and also using this platform to promote and facilitate broader bi-lateral business interests for the benefit of both Thailand and China.

So I guess that's where the Red Bull connection came from.

Don't think he's rich enough but it's not a bad guess if he's had some exponential business growth that's not reflected in the rich list

Most things about him online suggest he is a billionaire. And by the age of 26.

[ZacNaloen]

Those figures are in baht though
