Btw Imagine Chelsea, United, and City all missing out on UCL football and going trophyless.

I heard that Man United's failure to appear in the UCL will result in a fine from Adidas. Man United will have to pay the equipment provider Adidas £10 million. This is because they will miss 2 years in Europe. United's agreement with the German manufacturer states that they cannot spend consecutive years outside the top European tournaments. This condition seems to be a new financial burden, this problem seems to have happened but only 1 year during the Sir Alex Ferguson era in 2014/15.
