The gradual realization of this fact will be delicious.

I think it disappears like Pogba in a Derby.How much does their deal with Adidas go down to if they miss out on CL 2 years running?

Would be great if that happened... ;)
I remember reading a while back, that it more than halves. Just can't find it anywhere.
Very early days yet but at the moment US, red dippers, spuds and Arsenal all look far better teams than the rags, top 4 is going to be difficult for them this year.
And the Slapped Arse face Of Moaninho says to me he knows as well!

How much does their deal with Adidas go down to if they miss out on CL 2 years running?
Super Ed Woodward apparently said 30% off, so £22M
As things look top 4 will be a push for them, but still very early days.
My prediction is that they will do worse then last season despite the fact they have most expensive squad ever assembled, a manager appointed for short term success and the highest wage bill. Somehow this will not be billed as a failure by the media but instead by blamed on LVG and with United being the great club they are doing it the United way and giving the manager time.
Then next season they will spend A LOT again (addidas deal is irrelevant they are still wedged) and see if they get lucky, I see them going all out for Bale/ Griezman etc. But being they are actually worthy of huge fees as opposed to Pogba (who don't get me wrong I would have been happy if we brought, but the fee which was £89 million, plus about £20 million to the agent (always forgotten) was far too much and no one else would go near) there will be competition this time from other attractive options. So they will get the next tier down the big names, but with something not quite going for them at that moment, a Rodriguez or someone like that if not working out for them at their present club as well as taking successful players from the so called lesser Premier League teams who have done well the previous season. Then all the reports will be about Mourinho's excellent record in the second season, how United are ready to challenge for the title with their team of all stars.
All the time us, Spurs and Liverpool will be improving with a long term plan and targeted recruitment, with players suited to the style of play and in the areas of weakness. United will end up being even further behind us (especially if Rooney is still there) and end up battling with Arsenal, Chelsea for 4th (although I wouldn't be surprised to see either of these clubs having moved ahead of United and closer to us, Spurs and Liverpool).
I could of course be wrong, but that is how I see it going based on what we can see at the moment.

You'll have me crying into my City shirt for them.
Crying with laughter, that is!

No, I think you are right and this is an excellent post, by-the-way.
And to think this whole down-turn was begun by the guy who built them back up in the 1st place, all because of a fooking racehorse. You just couldn't make it up!
P.S. Talking of which, I think the TV companies have not been giving us enough of SAF looking saaad and condescending (at the same time) as they did last season - c'mon guys - you know it makes sense.

it's actually a bit worse than £22m as I think it's the whole deal that gets reduced. So £750m*0.7=£520m but they would have already received 2 payments of £75m so that brings it to around £28m reduction. So they'll only get £46m for the next 8 years. Can't wait for our next kit deal to get agreed as they would be stuck for a hell of a long time.

Victims of their own sanctimonious attitude and they are seeking a quick fix appendage for success on the pitch.
Splurging whatever was required with no consideration or forethought for a player who was in no immediate hurry to join them other than for an astronomical fee waved in his face he couldn't decline.
Attracting a manager with a formidable track record regarding trophies won but more recently remembered for immoral behavior. They attained him because money alone couldn't attract their favored targets.
Liverpool and Chelsea next. Go on fellas, do the business, put them where they belong.
