I have written my thoughts in an email to the club, outlining that I would no longer in good conscience be willing to support the team should he be reintroduced. The response:
Thank you for taking the time to email Manchester United. We note and understand your strength of feeling on this matter.
This has been a difficult case for everyone associated with the Club, and we recognise the strong opinions it has provoked.
Since charges were dropped against Mason Greenwood in February, we have conducted our own investigation into the allegations made against him, and we want to assure you that the welfare and perspective of the alleged victim has been central to the club’s inquiries.
As a club, we are extremely mindful of the views of our supporters, but we also believe that our decision in this case should be based primarily on the findings of our investigation.
As communicated yesterday, despite media reports, we have not yet reached a final decision. When we do, we will communicate and explain it through club channels.
We assure you that we are listening to carefully to your views and ask for patience as we work through the final stages of this considered process.
Kind regards,
Manchester United Football Club
yep, this response has been posted by multiple people, seems like it's their stock response to anyone writing to them about this
Guessed it wasn't so personal. Apparently clear images of domestic abuse aren't enough and require a year and a half to ponder over.
Well, sounds like you're on their 'hostile' list now!
But seriously, great job speaking up and expressing your concerns.
