Eriksson has remained tight-lipped while on the club's post-season tour of Asia, with former Thai prime minister Thaksin reportedly dissatisfied with the form shown in the second half of the season, which culminated in an 8-1 loss to Middlesbrough on Sunday and a ninth-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League.
The former England manager is set to meet Thaksin in Bangkok as part of the review which has been forecast by director of communications Paul Tyrrell, who said: "I'd envisage that the review would take another week at least."
He added: "We are due back in England on Friday, May 23 so I'd imagine we'll be coming towards the end of our review around that time, maybe a little bit later than that."
Tyrrell confirmed Eriksson will meet Thaksin in Thailand.
"There is a meeting planned between the chairman and the manager," he added. "That meeting will be part of that review."
City staged a carefully-choreographed press conference at a Bangkok shopping mall to announce their arrival for the first leg of their promotional tour.
Media were denied the opportunity to ask questions to Eriksson or any of the three players in attendance, Dietmar Hamman, Kasper Schmeichel and Ben Mee, the captain of the FA Youth Cup-winning team.
Tyrrell, who planned proceedings, indicated it was Eriksson's choice not to field questions.
"With regards to the manager's position, we are making no official comment," he added. "The manager asked during this time of great forensic analysis of the football club for the players not to be doing interviews and not to be answering questions from the media."
