Man City in talks with USA group

Manchester City are exploring alternative investment sources as Thaksin Shinawatra's takeover bid stalls.
The Times says City are exploring tentative interest shown by an American consortium, but, after a nervous seven days, they are quietly optimistic that Thaksin's bid might arrive this week.
Thaksin has explored numerous options with his financial advisers, Seymour Pierce, and hopes that a contingency plan, thought to involve assets held in the names of his children, will allow him to make his long-awaited bid to the City board.
