Eriksson has business with Thaksin March 12 2008
Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will hand Thaksin Shinawatra a list of his summer transfer targets when the owner returns to the club on Thursday.
The Swede will get straight down to business with Shinawatra, who has pleaded not guilty in Thailand's Supreme Court in one of two corruption cases being brought against him.
The court session came a day before the 58-year-old begins a month-long trip to England to attend to his duties with City - a trip which the court has already sanctioned.
Shinawatra gave the green light for £50million worth of transfers but the Blues have failed to build on a bright start to the campaign and occupy ninth place in the table after picking up just 10 points from their last nine games in the Premier League.
Eriksson is already looking to strengthen in the close season and told the Manchester Evening News: "Dr Thaksin is most welcome, he has been away a long time. It will be nice to see him.
"I will have a meeting with him and his advisors and discuss next season. I am sure he has seen every game wherever he has been."
