Excellent points as always, and I would suggest these blurred lines between families and companies is also carried over into the business world over there on the basis, at the end of the day, of complete trust.

Which is why it seems to be normal for state agency payments to be aggregated centrally and passed to the various creditors and debtors in total, to be allocated properly on receipt. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if the individuals handling Mansour's private wealth are the same as those handling the state's wealth.

I can't help thinking a lot of problems the club currently have are just related to the use of UAE business practices in the early years between UAE sponsors (and their funding agencies) and ADUG / the club. Hence the occasional email from the club's FD to people in Abu Dhabi asking for separate payments to be made for each sponsor, for example. Sounds suspicious to western ears, but in Abu Dhabi they were probably thinking "why do they need that?"

I can imagine it was all pretty complicated to follow from a western, very precise bookkeeping point of view. A clash of cultures, if you will.

& that’s why it’s described “they, those, them” in quite vulgar tones. The reality is rich businessmen like to pool their money & contacts to ensure the best result. They don’t fucking like it when an even bigger pool of money & contacts outdo them.
