You've got to be really paranoid if you think there's a conflict of interest.
It was a prestige game so they wanted referees on the FIFA list to officiate.
Oliver wouldn't have been paid by anyone in the UAE or Saudi Arabia directly anyway as it was part of a PGMOL scheme.

Depends if you believe that the UAE isn’t corrupt, I guess.

You’d need to believe a lot more than that in this particular instance.

Doesnt matter who it was, i dont think there should ever be that conflict of interest, esp now with multiple state owned clubs in the prem. Absolutely ridiculous by Webb and the PGMOL to sanction it even saying itd be good for them tryna pass it off as a good idea.
They all work together doing similar stuff over there with similar goals we've no idea what they get up to. So why risk it? Esp an area of the world known to have bribed officials in football.

They can’t not sanction it, not for those reasons at least.

Most of Asia and Africa would be excluded then if that was part of the critieria

The daft thing is surely there’s as much conflict of interest with Arsenal if people think the UAE is entirely corrupt!
