Devils advocate. If you read the quote he is not wrong per say.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course he's wrong
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not if you look at the exact words, key is "meaningful impact on what we CAN do"

All he says is that no matter how good or bad you play, it doesnt impact what they CAN do on the commercial side. Did you not sign the biggest sponsor deal of the PL even though you play woeful.

Like I said just being devils advocate. He is not saying that the commercial side is more important than the sport side. There has to be a bigger context to that quote.

"Our top priority is success on the pitch. The manager, players and everyone at the club are determined to achieve that objective."

Manchester United’s two leading scouts have left the club.

The club’s chief scout, Jim Lawlor, and Marcel Bout, the head of global scouting, have both departed the Premier League side, The Athletic can reveal.

Lawlor joined United in 2005 and was promoted to chief scout in 2014. Bout came in under Louis van Gaal, initially as a coach before moving into scouting.

Both were big voices in United’s recruitment, which has been widely criticised in recent months.

Carry on being crap on the pitch for long enough and your commercial appeal is going to suffer. United will still be United, but they're not going to have as many eyeballs on them being a mid-table side as they are if they're challenging for trophies and competing in the CL k.o. rounds year after year.

It won't have a huge impact on the commercial side if that's only the case for a couple of years, but the longer the mediocrity goes on, the smaller the commercial deals will get relative to the top clubs.

Then why is there a clause in the Adidas contract that reduces the terms of the deal if United fail to qualify for the CL for two consecutive seasons, Mr. Pugface?
