Manchester United’s plan to bring back Mason Greenwood was so advanced that the club even prepared documents outlining the type of images that should be taken of the player during training sessions and planned how manager Erik ten Hag should handle questions during an anticipated media storm.
According to sources with knowledge of United’s planning, who remain anonymous because they are not authorised to speak publicly, the club’s preparations for Greenwood’s return also included an assessment of the expected sentiment of external figures, listing individual football pundits, journalists and politicians and stating whether they would be for or against Greenwood’s reintegration. The planning divided these people into categories to the effect of “supportive”, “open-minded” or “hostile”. The club’s document listed a series of domestic abuse charities assumed to be “hostile”. (...) The Athletic has also been told by sources close to the club, who will remain anonymous in order to protect their positions, that senior Manchester United executives held multiple intense meetings with staff after we reported on Wednesday that some employees feel ashamed by the club’s decision. Some staff members have discussed resigning in the event United continue to pursue the plan laid out by Arnold, while others have considered coordinated action, with some staff even exploring a strike.
The most extreme measures, however, remain hypothetical until the club formally communicates a decision, while it is also the reality of a situation such as this that aggrieved employees are more likely to speak to journalists than those who are either on the fence or supportive of the decision.
United’s concern on Thursday and Friday, however, was sufficient for crisis meetings to take place, which involved United executives seeking to justify a return for Greenwood to staff, while also claiming no final decision had been made. Many staff were left with the impression, though, that the plan to bring him back remains. (...) (T)he plan communicated by Arnold to Manchester United’s most senior staff a fortnight ago centred on Greenwood returning to the club.
It included guidance on how head coach Ten Hag should respond to the highly sensitive questions that would be expected during press conferences following Greenwood’s return and how, after a certain period of time, he should begin to talk about Greenwood as though he is a regular member of the playing squad. Both Ten Hag and the club’s football director, John Murtough, are supportive and encouraging of Greenwood’s return.
The plan to stage-manage Greenwood’s return went to the lengths of detailing the type of training images that should be taken of Greenwood and how they should be transmitted on club channels. The plan also included the possibility of Greenwood himself doing an extended interview in a few months’ time, once he has bedded back into the club. The medium — whether in-house or via an external broadcaster — of the interview is not clear.

Yeah. It sounds as though United had decided to let him back in and were primarily concerned with stage-managing the optics, and are now hesitating because of the backlash rather than because they wanted to make the right decision in the first place.

Pretty fucking cyncial from those at the top at Utd.

Some of whom, if the reports are correct, are getting pretty vile abuse on social media about a situation created by Greenwood and the United top brass, while they're preparing for a World Cup final. Fucking shitshow.
 
In the news now that Antony's ex-missus is going to UK plod saying he beat and abused her

Man U have proven themselves utterly classless with the way they are handling this Greenwood shitshow. Just do the right thing and leave the ladies team out of it!

100%. I couldn’t imagine the same situation in any other workplace whereby management ask the female employees “do you mind if we allow a rapist without conviction to return to the workplace?”

We we're going to bring him back but you, the pesky public scuppered our plans!

Man U thought that after a "six month investigation" everyone would have forgotten how nasty this piece of shit was.
They have the balls to say that he did not commit the offence but will do the right thing and let him go anyway.

Right result ..... but only because the public reaction was very bad when they floated the idea of him returning to play for the club.

Really poor decision making from ManU - the issues were very clear 6/12 months ago and they should never have suggested internally that he could be brought back.

I feel sorry for the girlfriend who is now tied to him with the baby. I can't see a happy ending for her, just hope Greenwood doesn't blame her for his inexcusable actions /behaviour

Why do people keep saying this, she needs to take accountability for the fact that she chose to stay with him, marry him and bring a kid into the world, why would you do that if your partner is an abuser?

I really don't want to here about Stockholm Syndrome, her motivation is clearly money and security (ironically)

They both deserve each other as far as I'm concerned.

Abuse victims stay with their partners all the time. It isn’t Stockholm syndrome, I’m not even sure if there’s even an explanation of why it happens, but it does.

But it doesn’t change the fact that they’re being abused.
