A Bold & Achievable Plan to Secure the Future of YOUR Club
The Phoenix Fund is the umbrella for a myriad of fundraising projects with a single goal: to raise money for the day when the fans can reclaim their club. This is what we were formed to do, and the work has already begun.
Seeded already with over £2 million, the Fund is our war chest. The core of the Phoenix Fund is the Share Capital of over 30,000 members who have chosen to set aside their hard-earned funds to ensure that supporters have a meaningful stake in the club when (after the Glazer plan takes its inevitable curtain call) it comes up for sale. Maybe not 100% ownership, but certainly enough to ensure that no buyer of Manchester United can afford to ignore us, and that any buyers will have to work with us if they want their plans to succeed.
Each new product or service we offer through our partners is designed to bring great benefits to our members. We endeavour to work with high quality, reputable companies to ensure you get maximum value. And of course we have negotiated agreements with these partners to channel a percentage back into the Phoenix Fund. In fact, each deal with our respective partners is designed so that:
- you will get at least as good a deal as you would from your current service provider, in many cases the MUST offer will be a better deal
- you will be dealing in the main directly with well-known companies, not with MUST
- our partners will take care of the admin and hassle of switching or opening accounts
- part of the revenue or profit from each deal will go to the Phoenix Fund, to be collectively invested for the day we can buy our United shares back
- MUST will be publishing on a regular basis the amount which the Phoenix Fund has raised collectively, so the fans can see how quickly we are getting to our target
