The greatest owners on Earth move against the flow of traffic

[The perfect fumble]

The guy's clearly on a different level of experience, competence and intelligence to your average football executive but I sometimes wish he wasn't quite so smooth because it comes across as a front and you can't help wondering why.

That's because he is.

It's not a criticism but the type of business model he's good at, investment led, with a plan, medium to long term growth, is the opposite of take the money and run, get rich quick, apprentice style Anglo/American red in tooth and claw capitalism. That's because he has two over arching aims, to diversify the UAE economy for future proofing and to promote a radically different image for a country, to re-define how it is perceived worldwide.

I think they'll have to lose the mask a bit in the future.

Thanks that's a fascinating video. Interesting line for me was that less than 35 per cent of Abu Dhabi's GDP is from oil and gas revenues. That hammers another nail into the myth that we are just "an oil club." I didn't realise that Khaldoon's father had been murdered either. He really is a top operator and we are lucky he is in charge of our club.

Brilliant video. I was at both 2012 and 2016 gigs (but I wouldn’t go to the swamp).

I recall the Boss acknowledging the thousands of fans who had stood in the rain on the pitch for over 6 hours (stretching over the two gigs). As a Manchester music mogul said, we do things differently.
