Plus the fact Rags were the 1st to have major sponsor’s from Saudi Arabia, inc state owned Saudi Telecom but this of course was not an issue for the media or fans of other clubsI’ll tell you what makes me laugh…they call the Etihad sponsorship of City “sportswashing” and yet, Emirates is all fine and dandy sponsoring the FA Cup and the tarquins…as for their sleeve sponsor, all I remember about them (until the last Government deal with them) is what happened in 1994…I wonder what kind of “washing” that is…
