. Can some readers here please note that the Glazers DO NOT “use their profits to bankroll their fancy kickball team overseas”. The Glazers got my club Manchester United on an LBO in 2005. They have been using Manchester Uniteds own profits to pay down the debt they put onto the club.(Five hundred and seventy million British Pounds has been sucked out of United since 2005 to cover debt repayments and even management / consultancy fees which the Glazers use to pay themselves. )Our club now has a policy of mostly getting youth and promising players (under 26 years); will go for the odd freebie and now has one of the lowest players wages in England.When we buy new players , we now look in the bargain bins with sales of other players helping to finance the purchase .Does any of this sound familiar to you.?United is only doing well because of the iron will of the manager Alex Ferguson to get the best out of his players.

If you are looking to the NY Times for the truth, I have a bridge and a whole bunch of waterfront property I want to sell you.

This was also reported in our local papers back then but I could find anything about it online.

Fear The Glow: "Kevin Glazer???" Sort of tells Joe the credibility of the story right there, don't you think?

Hey Joe. Here is a link about the Glazer’s wanting to sell the Bucs to buy the Jets.

you’re right, seems like forever ago. but i don’t know. Willfully taking away a home game every year trumps all. We’re Tampa, not NY or LA, we need all we can get. Just sayin.

When did the Glazer’s personal investments become subject to public scrutiny? You guys never complain when I spend millions outside of the Tampa Bay area.

Wasn’t the Glazer museum built just last year?

Hopefully they’re taking money from the London game, the game that was taken away from the good people of the TB area who are struggling and use football as an escape. Sorry Joe, this pisses me off. I understand they have 1 tie to Tulane. They have 8 million ties to the TB area. They continue to take away from us. The Glazer museum and hospital were built a long time ago. They haven’t done jack lately

Perhaps we could also interest them in funding Tampa’s struggling NFL team.

point well taken but it does come on the heels of “see their not cheap” they are paying ticket master pricing.

i dont think u have an agenda at all.

admitedley i do!

i dont trust em.

they could impress the hell out of me by not losing cowhers number.

keep up the good work. just a gentle tweak.
