I seriously doubt cash flow is an issue.

The fall in the price of oil has created economic head winds for all OPEC & GCC countries.

Infrastructure projects have been cancelled,mothballed or siowwalked. Saudi has introduced austerity measures in all government bodies.

The recent stabilising / improvement in the price of oil has seen cautious Capitol spending on essential projects,but it's very discretionary.

The ruling families are very shrewed, hard headed business men.

Our relative lack of success & the fickle behaviour of our some of our fans has not gone un noticed out here.

We will have to earn their continued / future investment & compete for it alongside other projects. The ones that produce the greatest financial or strategic return will receive conditional support.

Get booking some hols in Abu Dhabi.

MCFC is not owned by the UAE state, but is privately owned by Sheikh Mansour. I think sinking £60m into a new stand is as beneficial in terms of cash flow, and prestige as buying a top class player. We spent well over £100 million last Summer when the oil price was around $30 a barrel. I think a bigger factor maybe demand for tickets and operational issues.
 
If they start working on the site it will create jobs and wealth in the surrounding area and hopefully help blues pay for the season tickets increase

Selling players generates cash flow to buy other players. Building a stand initially requires net out flow until revenues are generated at the end of the build contract....2 years s2f ?

The fall (rise) in oil has had a bigger impact in GCC than many would imagine & MAY be behind some of the infrastructure decisions at City and wider.

Had we kicked on and won (say) 2 more titles,2 more FACs,CL final & blown records left & centre with fans breaking the doors down to get in via an expanding wait list matters might be different. But things are actually goin the other way and HH Sheikh Mansour is a very well informed hard headed businessman who wants returns on all investments.

So if all this is true why doesn't he put the club up for sale, why would we continue to buy other clubs abroad, why would we appoint the most courted manager in world football, are you sure your not a rags fan ?
