Success on the field must be underpinned by solid foundations off it. We have supported sustained investment in the team over many years, and that will continue this summer. We recognise that we will need to significantly increase investment in Old Trafford and our training complex to ensure that the club's facilities remain among the best in Europe.
As part of this, we will consult with fans on investments related to the stadium and the matchday experience. Indeed, one of the clearest lessons of the past few weeks is the need for us to become better listeners. To this end, I can commit the club will engage across all of the issues raised in your letter. To highlight some specific points, as one of the few European football clubs listed on the public markets, we believe in the principle of fans owning shares in the club.
We have previously engaged with the Manchester United Supporters' Trust on fan share ownership and we want to continue and accelerate those discussions, together with provisions to enhance associated fan consultation. We recognise that the Government-initiated, fan-led review of football is a positive opportunity to explore new structures for fan engagement and influence.
I can assure you that we will willingly and openly engage in the review, with the aim of putting fans at the heart of the game and ensuring their interests are advanced and protected. These commitments are a starting point for further dialogue, including all the specific points you raised, rather than final proposals.
We want to work together to come up with an ambitious package of measures which will transform our relationship with fans and strengthen the club for the long-term. In this spirit, we will reach out to members of the forum to schedule a meeting in which I shall participate as soon as possible after the final game of the season.
Thank you again for your work for the forum and your passion for the club. I look forward to meeting you and in the meantime let's look forward to a successful end to the season.
This followed on from the letter read out at the emergency Fans' Forum on the 30th April. The response could in theory - and we emphasise in theory only - be a change in direction and approach by the owners versus their silence and disregard for communication over the last 16 years. We will, however, determine our position based on the resulting actions rather than these words alone. We have seen empty words too many times previously. We will seek a mandate from our members and from the wider fanbase before proceeding.
We only wish to engage in this process should our supporters want us to. The onus remains on the club to put right the problems of the past, not just the European Super League but the overall lack of communication and consultation by the owners.
Our primary objective remains to ensure a supporter share scheme is put in place which carries equal voting rights to the shares held by the Glazer Family. This scheme would be promoted to the global fanbase and should in turn build a notable stake in the club. Through all this, our goals remain the same and as set out in the Open Letter to Joel Glazer.
We want a new Manchester United, with a meaningful shareholding for supporters and a meaningful say in key areas. This is our objective, and there will be no let up until we get there.

Joined Oct 26, Messages 22, Just watching the United vs. Milan game when Ronaldo and a Milan player slid down the side of the pitch and crashed into the electronic hordings causing injury. I've always had a feeling that one day the raised pitch with it's angled slope down is going to cause a player serious injuries some day. Anybody know why it's raised and not level with the ground?

Any reason why that can't be lower in the ground? I remember that United had endless problems with the pitch a few seasons back when it had to be replaced every few months. It had something to do with the lack of light getting to it caused by the stadium expansion. Also, we allowed rugby to be played on it. Don't hear about that the grass problems anymore but I can't remember either when the whole pitch was raised either. Joined Nov 8, Messages 82, Location india.
