Maradona: We'll make history

How do football clubs like Al Wasl, Al Jazeera sustain themselves? Compared to international clubs that are followed by millions and have high-profile transfers with intense games, how do these UAE local clubs compare? Recently a big celebration was announced for a local club with international stars and a ferrari to give-away. These clubs don't seem to have millions following them, millions of dollars in stadium rights or television viewership, but still they try to reel in big names. Are these a local version of Manchester City or Chelsea with billions to spend? It is even interesting that these clubs are trying to get high profile players. Is this going to be another J-League where european players in the twilight of their career move to prolong their fewer days?
