I've mentioned on here on at least one occasion before - our owner is not in it for any fad or the short term; it is to promote Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates as a destination for tourism/holidays, events, exhibitions and anything else that can continue bringing the country wealth. What better way to do that than to own a football team in the most watched league in the world ?
The oil production in Dubai runs out this year - Abu Dhabi will now fully support the country as the oil supply will last for another 100 years or so there. By promoting other businesses as mentioned, the country attracts other revenue streams to sustain the wealth already there. Their business model is second to none - even giving tax breaks to companies who want to trade out of or settle in Dubai. For a country whose population is 5.2 million with only about a million being local Emirates, the local people benefit greatly. The U. A. E. are now looking at promoting cricket and there is a match between Pakistan and West Indies being held in Dubai soon. There is also a Formula 1 track near Abu Dhabi..............
No need to worry about City's future - we are SO lucky to have owners as we do.................
