Here's an email template to use for the associated sponsors and businesses linked with INEOS, the Glazers and United too:
Hello,
My name is (Name), and I am a Manchester United supporter.
I am writing as part of a growing supporter-led campaign calling for meaningful change in the ownership and direction of Manchester United.
Manchester United is one of the biggest football clubs in the world, and its commercial partners benefit enormously from the loyalty, attention and spending power of its global fanbase. That relationship works both ways.
As an official partner of Manchester United, your company is directly associated with the club, its leadership and its ownership. When supporters believe the club is being poorly managed and that their concerns are being disregarded, that association inevitably becomes a reputational issue for its commercial partners as well.
We are therefore asking you to take the concerns of Manchester United supporters seriously and to raise them directly with the club’s senior leadership and ownership.
We also ask you to consider whether continuing to publicly associate your brand with the current direction of Manchester United is consistent with your company’s values and the reputation you have built.
Supporters should not have to repeatedly protest, boycott and campaign simply to have their concerns acknowledged. If the club’s commercial partners remain silent, they risk being viewed by supporters as willing participants in — or beneficiaries of — a situation that the fanbase is increasingly unwilling to accept.
Please forward this email to the person responsible for your Manchester United partnership, sponsorship, marketing, corporate affairs or senior leadership team.
We hope you will listen to Manchester United supporters rather than simply continue business as usual.
Best regards,
(Name)
Manchester United supporter
