Manchester United stand to lose £150m if they fail to qualify for the Champions League again this season Chief executive Ed Woodward has already outlined the importance of making the top four. This season United will miss out on more than £50m thanks to loss of gate revenue and competition money.
That figure will be at least the same amount next year and with £150m emptied from the club's bank account on summer transfers, a series of new top earners on the wage bill and more expected to follow, qualification is essential.
One expert believes the damage could go up to £150m.Professor Ellis Cashmore, from Aston University, explained: 'It's hard to quantify but in terms of reputational damage you could be talking treble the £50m.
'United need to qualify and the Glazers will want them to qualify but if they don't the long-term damage casued by underachievement could actually be more important.'
Prof Cashmore believes United have already lost some of their aura.'I'd compare it to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL,' he said. 'Throughout the late 80s and 90s they were huge in America but then they started to struggle and their brand was damaged by it.
'I think we have already seen that with United and it will affect their commercial pulling power.'
Should United fail to qualify for the Champions League before the end of the 2016-17 season they will also face a 30 per cent reduction in their £75m-a-year record-breaking kit deal with adidas although their shirt sponsorship agreement with US car giants Chevrolet is not thought to be affected by on-field performance.
hahahahahahaha

Sounds good.
I would be amazed if we are not in contact this morning demanding a full retraction or else.
We might seem to be useless behind the scenes and willing to bend over and take it but their allegations, stated as fact are a little bit too much I think.

IMHO the only way he can lose is on a technicality and have to start again.
The consequences of a defeat are too wide ranging for other businesses and I could see cartels springing up all over the place in an attempt to shut down rival investors. I cant see the ECJ (if he can get the case there) doing anything else than reversing FFP.
How long this will take I've no idea but I would guess before the next transfer window for a provisional judgement. Then we will see who can and cant afford Messi.
