Whoever is negotiating these sponsorships for United is either a genius or a con man.

I've seen a few people claim that the United deal means that they gives up their rights (such as club shop, image, online) to Adidas in exchange for a guaranteed GBP70m where as a lot of the shirt deals don't include this component so the difference isn't as big as it seems.

Then again, United is a massive club in commercial terms across the globe.

What's the official cut-off for how high a sponsorship deal needs to be before it's cheating?

X + 1 where X is how much your club is getting from sponsors.
