I agree. That's why I wasn't Mr Hominem.

Lucky for you there are internet forums that will supply you with the truth then. Being too lazy to search them demonstrates how uninterested you are in finding answers.

I think you should listen to your friend. She might be right.

The question is......how wealthy is Abu Dhabi? If it came to the crunch , could Abu Dhabi pay to finish the projects that NEED finishing? Some Dubai projects could be left, could they not? I have never seen the LOGIC of Dubailand. It is a different market. Mainly working class and very young families.

Eurodisney supplies that much cheaper for European families and Dubai is too far from USA.
As has been said, Abu Dhabi is in the SAME COUNTRY as Dubai, so it underpins the currency. It also has global assets it can sell.
I'm afraid that Dubai has been PROFLIGATE if all the schemes like Hydropolis and the World , mentioned on www.visit-dubai.co.uk are considered. Hydropolis is EXTREMELY expensive, just like the Palms and Burj Dubai. Then what about Al Burj ??

Who NEEDS all these offices? Dubai has gone OVERBOARD ! It's a bad sign if Abu Dhabi is forking out already.
It seems to me that Dubai has INVESTED TOO MUCH......compared to the return on capital it is going to RECOUP!!

You need the WEST.......and the WEST is in deep recession!

With somewhere around 420.000 citizens in Abu Dhabi the projected net worth per citizen is around US$17 million.

That gives an indication of their wealth. Not to forget the 1 trillion dollars coming from foreign investments into AD.

Lets buy another SLR and put it against the wall...For Fun...F@ck yeah lets do that. Inshallah 8)

Smoggie,
Give Mark Hughes TIME......and Abu Dhabi money, and he WILL fix Man City. Watch them next season!!
Craig Bellamy is a really quick attacker , but they need to use him properly. he can't compete in the air, but he can run with real speed at defences.

There's no need to snipe at Man City,
They certainly don't need any pity!
When Hughes makes his Mark!!
They'll soar like the lark!!
Cos Hughes is really quite gritty!!

no offence intended my flaming flighty friend.
It's just that the whole set up of man city, mark hughes, and abu dhabi feels wrong......Unlike the mourinho, chelscum abramovich mix.
