Amid all the pressure from the Manchester United fans, Joel Glazer had to pen an open letter to all supporters asking them forgiveness.
Joel Glazer is one of the more involved brothers at Manchester United from the prominent family of sport franchise owners. Here in England, they have been in charge of the Red Devils since 2003 and they lived a wildly successful period under Sir Alex Ferguson. But after the legendary manager left, they haven’t found the ideal people who can take the squad back to success.
It’s all been terrible decision after terrible decision ever since. But yesterday was the Glazer family’s darkest day as Manchester United owners. They attempted to recreate a model that is very similar to American sports without taking the supporters into consideration. As a result, they got enormous backlash that made them realize how much the people truly hate them. As a way to make amends, Joal Glazer wrote an open letter to all Man United supporters.
Glazer’s apology to the fans.
On Manchester United’s website, Joel Glazer wrote the following: “Over the past few days, we have all witnessed the great passion which football generates, and the deep loyalty our fans have for this great club. You made very clear your opposition to the European Super League, and we have listened. We got it wrong, and we want to show that we can put things right. Although the wounds are raw and I understand that it will take time for the scars to heal, I am personally committed to rebuilding trust with our fans and learning from the message you delivered with such conviction.
“We continue to believe that European football needs to become more sustainable throughout the pyramid for the long-term. However, we fully accept that the Super League was not the right way to go about it. In seeking to create a more stable foundation for the game, we failed to show enough respect for its deep-rooted traditions –promotion, relegation, the pyramid – and for that we are sorry. This is the world’s greatest football club and we apologize unreservedly for the unrest caused during these past few days.”
