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.

It shows that he's not just going to use this as an asset (Malcolm Glazer)
and is has the passion to turn this club into a Championship League perennial.

God bless his oil drilling heart!!!
