It appears that it was, the official website says the 10 percent was owned by 'Worldwide Investments Limited'

And I found this article concerning the original purchase by the Sheikh last year which mentions the above company: "The deal also saw the transfer of 10% of the issued share capital of the premier league club to Worldwide Investments Limited a company indirectly owned by Dr Shinawatra and members of his immediate family."

Hence my comment - a lot furhter up the threa - that I suspected this, due to Hughes' and Cook's Thakisn-negative interview earlier this week. it's been very strang if they'd come out with that (it was quite strong) about a guy who owns 10% of the club if they didn't know this was about to happen.
