I have done some work for that bank and am not at all surprised that they have problems. They really don't know how to run their business and have spent a fortune with management consultants over the past 18 months to try and turn it around. I can't say much more, but the writing was on the wall.

If there were real economic problems would Maradona have been paid a large amount to coach a Dubai club? Of course not, so that means there is no problem !

No mine is still firmly in place, that post jangled my raving lunatic sensor harder though.

Ironic will be when he hears the club has folded due to lack of funding

I didn't think any of my Chris Morris collection (The Day Today, Brass Eye, Jam) would make it past the UAE customs... so they're back in the UK still.

Anyone seen Four Lions at Dubai Airport Duty Free?
