Man City boss Eriksson to cop £60M transfer kitty

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson will have an amazing £60 MILLION to spend in the summer market.

The Sun says City owner Thaksin Shinawatra has told the manager he will get the cash once his £800m assets are released by the Thai government.

Shinawatra returned to Thailand this month to face corruption charges. But the former Prime Minister is confident he will be cleared.

And that means boss Eriksson can start ticking off names on his wish-list.

Eriksson, who will meet Shinawatra on Monday, said: "I have a long list of top players I want and I am confident the meeting will go well."
