From junk owners to junk football to junk food.

Still, good news for Woodward and co, but means nothing to fans of Man Utd as a football club.
Could mean more money in the pocket which once in a fullmoon means higher transfer budget?

This looks like a sweet deal on the surface, but it's really just Ed trying to sugarcoat the real issues facing the club.

Despicable man that he is.

This is bad news for the football side of things, it's just a joke because the owners will stand behind this level of inadequacy in favour of the club's prestige to be a commercial juggernaut.

With a director of chocolate in place we would have made a way better deal with Snickers. This club's a joke.

Seems like that trip to Switzerland payed off. If only they could put the same kind of effort for the football side of the club.
Frankly, people find it lame to complain about EW and Glazers on this thread, but how come? It just shows they achieve things when they want, they just don't care if the team is shit as long as they keep sealing these deals.
Frankly, I would love a season of "sponsors snub Manchester United" if it meant those crooked wankers would do something to improve the team.
Because Woodward isn't the 'main player' in the sponsorship arm of the club - it is Richard Arnold. So a bit pointless (and tiresome) for people to complain saying that Woodward hasn't been getting a DOF because he's been making deals with confectionery when he isn't involved in that side of things.

:lol: That’s the purple packet shite chocolate you get when your on holiday isn’t it?

Worst chocolate ever
More like best chocolate ever.

This is one sponsorship I can definitely get behind.

I'm starting to wonder if this "sudden" awareness of societal issues in combination with sponsorship is a marketing strategy to make it more difficult for the fans to show their annoyance at the club.

I mean, it raises the bar for throwing abuse at the sponsors and the club when part of the message is " x number of elderly are lonely and lack social interaction. Make a visit to a retirement home"...

Of course, that's all it is. Especially when linked to massive vice companies like sugary junk-food, betting, alcohol etc.

'Caringness, brought to you by Cadbury', please.

If they cared so much lets hear them talk about diabetes, childhood obesity, sugar overload affects on society and the health care system.

There are maverick cases like the Roma - 'Lost people' campaign, but in cases when a company that actively harms society is suddenly wanting to be seen, publicly, as 'caring', it's fairly obvious what the angle and agenda is...!

I was attempting something along the lines of either being sardonic, ironic, sarcastic or caustic.

But yeah, Roma fully deserves a pat on the back. While they might not get money directly from it, they think long term by building a brand with positive associations. If we did the same, the Club would try to get claim the finders fee for "enhancing our ability to continue investing on the pitch"

Considering the scousers tendency to boycott everything to do with United I guess Woody's masterplan is to starve all the scouse fans leaving LFC penniless.

Genius.
