Step 3: Product reviews online.
Yesterday, @Qualcomm announced they've introduced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. If enough United fans openly say they’re boycotting Snapdragon because of its sponsorship, Qualcomm may start seeing the partnership as damaging rather than beneficial. That could put pressure on Qualcomm’s leadership to speak to United about the backlash.
Fans can openly say they won’t buy Snapdragon products because of the sponsorship. Just don’t make up fake complaints or claim you had a bad experience with a product if you didn’t.
You can make public tweets about the new product but make sure you write the name of it in your tweet (Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6).
Example tweets:
“I’m done with Snapdragon while they sponsor Manchester United. They can keep the sponsorship, I’ll keep my money.”
“Not buying another Snapdragon phone or the new 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 while they continue sponsoring Manchester United under this ownership.”
“Snapdragon can sponsor United. I can also choose not to buy their products.”
“If Snapdragon wants my money, stop funding Manchester United under this ownership.”
Step 2: Emails.
Once again, this isn't intended for abuse or any personal attacks or harassment. We want to voice our concerns with them working with United. I've attached a video on how you can send multiple emails at once using the template. It literally takes 2 minutes, anyone can do this.
Here is an email template you can use:
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

Richard Arnold publically came out and said how the online boycotts on sponsors were hurting the club. With enough unity, we can all make an impact.
Today we're focusing on #MUFC's FOS sponsor @Snapdragon. We'll explain how you can be involved below #BoycottUnited#SaveOurUnited
@markgoldbridge You've said multiple times on stream that you would support any movement against the ownership. We've contacted you multiple times in the past 24 hours to support the movement given you have the biggest fan channel. No clear answer. All it takes is a single tweet.
