Surely you'd want experience to deal with a decent budget?

All their "contact us" details are Dubai. Yeah that has little bearing on anything, but I'd not heard of them.

Maybe they want to develop Swindon as THE go-to world-wide vacation location.

Perhaps they will reinstate the canal to get the cruise ships in?

Dnata are huge.  You see their name plastered around any airport in the Middle East.

Could explain the dragging of feet re the new manager. IF there is new investment in the offing we don't want a numpty manager spending it.

For the moment I'm consoling myself that that's the reason - another Red Bull moment!

Also, dnata already sponsor Al Ahli FC who have played in the CL (qualifying rounds) - so they have previous.

In true STFC fashion we can now all dream of becoming the next Man City backed by Arab money. We can all dream and look forward to:

World class manager
World class players
World class stadium

Then comes the news on Monday morning that Power exclusively reveals major investment from a local company who are going to sponsor the away kit for £25K a season:

Falkirks youth team coach appointed manager
Branco signs a new deal
Some new lights for the DRS

That is the STFC rollacoaster in action.
