That'll show 'em It's certainly a conundrum for Man Utd. One of their best young talents, who could be worth millions...and no main sponsors are pulling out. A decision will be made on the numbers and not morality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 17 hours ago, Essix Blue said: I’m a firm believer in people getting a second chance, mostly. Whether they be criminals found guilty or people that have just done bad in life. But this is a tough one. Maybe he has changed? Maybe he accepts his behaviour was abhorrent and he’s taken steps to address it. If he were merely a van driver or a shelf stacker there’d be no debate in him getting on with his life - but because he’s a multi millionaire footballer it’s different (and rightly so). I struggle to see MnU taking him back without the agreement of their female supporters and footballers. He is and always will be tainted now . I cannot see any big club risking their brand and reputation ,and also the damage he would bring to their sponsors brands . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EighteenSixty7 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The Athletic’s podcast on this earlier in the week was a good summary of things. I think just how much work United are having to put into this ‘return’ tells you how much of a bad idea it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) People keep mentioning sponsors.. If any of the major sponsors were upset about this, things wouldn’t have even got this far. United will have done their due diligence with their main sponsors - probably over the course of months. This would have been nipped in the bud quicker and more publicly if there was any risk of sponsors walking. They don’t give a sh*t. Just like United, they might test the waters and gauge public reaction before making some sort of showy public stance if it all backfired, but in terms of actually caring enough to do anything on moral grounds, they couldn’t care less.

The statement is a bit ******** poor from United but that’s how they’ve chosen to handle it this past few week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Released due to the backlash they received, nothing else. I wonder if the father of the Woman will be so welcoming to him if/when he becomes a nobody. The whole thing is bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Greenwood's own statement says he was cleared of all charges. He wasn't. The charges were dropped, and both he and the people defending him need to educate themselves on how important a distinction that is in the context of what he was charged with. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
