The 2001 to 2023 history of Manchester City has been marked by stability and then unprecedented success, with the club establishing itself as a Premier League regular since 2002. City was taken over in 2007 by Thaksin Shinawatra, who invested a considerable portion of money into the club with Sven-Göran Eriksson. After being arrested for political corruption in the summer of 2008, Shinawatra had to sell the club to the Abu Dhabi United Group, which ushered in a new era in the history of Manchester City.
