Alex Woods and Claude Anelka are in the spotlight at the moment but likely to hire someone that we don't expect. Thaksin also stated he'll be hiring someone fast as they want to get some new signings underway for the season. We caught up with the former Raith Rovers manager, he explained why he would take the City job if it was offered to him 'I think Manchester is a big breakthrough for my career, and I would love it if I get the chance to play in the Premier League with my brother Nicolas.'
