It's the right decision, and it's made fairly fast, but that statement still strikes me as the bare minimum.
Should the club drop Aeroflot as a sponsor? | Dropped
- Thread starter Offsideagain
- Start date
Bare minimum? There’s literally nothing else they can do
Fair play to the club, passed up on a lot of money to do the right thing.
It's also the bare maximum they can do.
Right thing to do, 100%
Hopefully Gazprom are removed as one of the Champions League title sponsors too so clubs involved in the competition don't have to be affialated with them.

Well done United.
We'd have sent them Marcos Rojo with a big machine gun and a bandana but he was moved on last summer.
What else should they do?
It's all they really need to do. It's a football club and also football is how people get away from what goes on in the world, they shouldn't inject themselves into any political affairs by making a big statement.
Change of thread title?
There has been a lot of scrutiny and media coverage of this and we’ve terminated the deal inside 24 hours. You’d be tempted to think we were owned and bankrolled by a Russian oligarch or something…

I mean they could send the players to war? Just saying.
Aeroflot dropped before Maguire, would never have predicted that at the beginning of the season.
There’s a joke in there somewhere about their planes turning faster than he can
Not sure what stronger statement you would like a football club to make, maybe send 6 of our strongest boys to the front line?
Now that our deal with Aeroflot is in the past, the question is which airline will replace it as our sponsor. I often believe that United should have signed with All Nippon Airways (ANA) when Usain Bolt was their spokesperson. When one knows that ANA keeps on staying very high among top airlines in the world year after year, it should be a perfect opportunity.
Maguire could captain Ukraines defense.
Should probably get a Saudi sponsor as replacement.
He should captain the Russians, then they will surely lose.
They've suffered enough. Give him to Russia.
The collateral damage from his headers...
Well done United.
The cost of solidarity!

I suppose bid Russians farewell as in this famous today's quote from Snake Island: "Idi nahuy".

Russian clubs should be refused entry into any UEFA competition, Russia as a country should be banned from all international competitions and certainly Gazprom should be removed as sponsors of the Champions League.
EDIT - Russia as a country already doing quite well getting themselves banned from Olympic competition........
Aerialflop scored from a header from a corner, don’t your remember? He’s basically a nailed on starter for the next three seasons just for that.
Good news. Now let’s hope the Government will get rid of Ambramovich who is allegedly a buddy of Putin.
Nothing alleged about it. They have deep and close ties and it is farcical that he has been given a pass up to this point.
Right decision.
Why russian athletes should be banned? They aren't the ones invading Ukraine.
Were american and british athletes banned from international competitions when United States and UK were bombing the Middle East for oil?
