Not stricly true mate, I read the other day that its only worth £30 million if you win the thing, as opposed to 8 million for winning the UEFA cup. Liverpool will win it and UEFA will put them into next seasons competition.
It would have cost United more because of a downturn in foreign sales on replica kits, on the subject of which, I believe Liverpool are about to end their Carlsberg deal, problem is that because its a beer it is illegal for it to be sold in Muslim countries, so they've been missing out on a couple of million every season because of this, which I think is more than the sponsorship's worth.
