Do the Makhtoums also own Emirates airlines?

If so does this not create a conflict of interests?

I doubt it would come this far if something as simple as that could **** anything up.

Exactly. Plus they are business folk and know what they're doing.

He actually built a 20,000 capacity stadium just for the wedding

Mittal's event almost rivals what is considered to be the most extravagant wedding of modern time. The 1981 wedding of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who recently became the ruler of Dubai, to Princess Salama, earned that honor with its $44.5 million ($100 million in today's dollars) price tag. His family built a stadium big enough to hold 20,000 people for the celebration, which lasted an astounding seven days--hopefully long enough for the couple to greet all the guests. A quarter of a century later, it is still listed as the most expensive wedding in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Anyone fancy tapping up that fat tramp from the bridge now the shoe is on the other foot?

I thought that Uefa said they were OK with the Abramovich situation. So it won't be a problem.
