This is disgusting, @ManUtd I will always stand in solidarity with survivors of domestic violence, so consider me “hostile”.

Really disappointed at how United have handled this. They should be focused on making the correct decision, speaking up in support of victims of domestic abuse & sexual assault, and acting with integrity. The club must realise this isn’t a PR crisis it’s about doing what’s right.

Also Women's aid a charity for helping abuse victims:

"Hostile" is an inappropriate way to describe domestic & sexual abuse charities in stakeholder mapping, but especially in this case.

We have worked on our football campaign for over 10 years, & work with both clubs & orgs, on an issue that is prevalent throughout our society.

This was an absolutely revolting read, but a great job by Crafton. It's all round disgusting what the upper management at United are trying to do. Well done to those inside the club who are opposing it and even leaking all this dirt to media. The more light is shed on this, the better.
