It didn't seem to be an issue until Man City started winning consistently since many top teams had and have Middle Eastern airlines as primary sponsors, not to mention other dubious associations including Visit Rwanda, Chinese and Far Eastern gambling concerns, and serially convicted money launderers like Standard Chartered.
