Should the club drop Aeroflot as a sponsor? | Dropped

Disappointing but not at all surprising
Yep like a hot potato.
In a heartbeat. All pressure must be brought on Putain. (off topic,but the European Cup Final is due to be staged in St Petersburg. That should be moved to another NATO countryt just to stick a digit up at the odious toad.
There's only one airline sponsor that would work for both club and company.
Money? I don't understand the upset tbh. People have no problem with Emirates or Qatar sponsoring multiple teams across multiple countries, or have no problems with Chelsea being owned by a Putin Pal, but United is supposed to drop a massive sponsorship because what exactly? Is everyone and everything from Russia cancelled now?
Probably, but it doesn't really make us look bad given everyone being fine with certain owners of certain other PL clubs. Pretty much nothing makes PL clubs look bad anymore. Football is long past having a soul to tarnish.

That's the plan.
Yes
Chelsea is owned by an Israeli.
It's not even a full 24 hours, let's give them some time.

Can we get them to fly over Old Trafford one last time with GLAZERS OUT.
Aeroflot has literally been banned from the UK by the UK government. I would say that puts it in a rather distinct category.
I wonder what happens to footballers from Ukraine.
Well we are really slow then because Schalke have already thrown the Gazprom main sponsor out.
But yes of course we should drop Aeroflot.
Regardless of what’s going on in Ukraine, we should drop Aeroflot immediately simply for being a shite airline.
Yet the German government have done nothing because they are energy dependent on Russia.
That's not entirely true.

This club FFS
There’s always at least one live one in every thread
Yes mate this is cancel culture in action.Not even a surprise, worst ran club in the league, we're ran like a bank.
If they don't drop I will dissociate myself from supporting this club whilst those greedy pigs are in charge of it. FFS russia has the blood of innocent dead children all over their hands, I am happy with the club making one less new shiny signing in the summer brought by money from the sponsorship if it means playing a role in forcing Russia to stop this horrendous act.
I am getting very, very disenchanted with football and how how much ethics and morals are being tossed aside in favour of pure disgusting greed

This Glazers only ever act when their hand is forced. See the super league as a prime example. Only now that Aeroflot is banned from the Uk do they take action
It would be nice if this was a line in the sand where we think we think a bit more about whether we are partaking in sportswashing.
I just got answer from the club:

Just sent an e-mail to feedback@manutd.co.uk. That should do it.

Wow! Do they have no shame. So as far as they are concerned it is just 'Give us your money'.
Should this even be a question?
fecking hell! That is unreal! Just when you think the Glazer scum can’t sink any lower.
fecking hell, this club really boil my piss
Are we the baddies?
I think i'd reply with can you raise this at a higher level as a complaint.
They've copy and pasted your ass too. Poster just above you got the same response.
Didn't even see that. I don't mind getting a copy-pasted reply, but I would have hoped it would have been a lot better.
Are Aeroflot linked to Putin?
