Malcolm Glazer
The same guy who bought the Tampa Bucaneers, now has control of the biggest football club in the world.
Being a Manchester United fan its a very sad day for myself and millions of other supporters.

Re: Malcolm Glazer
You support Man U - sorry , I never realised you lived in Devon (joke!!!) Seriously, why is the news so bad ; he rescued the Buccaneers and now they play in a 100,000 seater stadium; he bought the best coach for them, and now they`ve won a trophy. Isn`t that GOOD for you? Up the Hammers!!!

Re: Malcolm Glazer
I ca't really believe that Glazer wants to asset strip Man U Abbey, why would he. He needs it as a going concern to repay the debt, yes I suspect you will have to pay more in ticket prices. Not sure the previous owners were any better, John Magnier had never even visited Old Trafford.
The real damage was done 11 years ago when Martin Edwards turned it into a public company. Problem is Abbey is it's a business now, remember the roy Keane "Prawn Sandwich" quote, well unfortunately the Prawn sandwich brigade are very vauable to clubs like untied becasue of the revenue they bring in. Just and example of how it's changing years ago the percentage of executive to ordinary fans seats would be around 5%of total capacity, i.e. The new Wembley has 18,000 that is 20% of total.

Re: Malcolm Glazer
Glazer's three sons have all been appointed to the board, the chairman has resigned.
Looks like a case of push off before he got shoved!  http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/sp...eds_board.html

Fans are furious that our beloved Old Trafford and team are now in so much debt. I personally feel that the team will inevitably suffer, and ticket prices already expensive, will go through the roof.

I hope that things wont change, it would be nice to think Glazer and the board will run Utd fair and things would stay on an even keel. But we have to face facts, he's a businessman he did'nt buy the company for his love of the game, he's never set foot in Manchester! If his history in deals are anything to go by then the fans are f***ed! It's the end of an era, to me it's like the soul has been sold to the devil, unfortunately not a red devil.

Re: Malcolm Glazer
Just curious, would it have made a differance to you ManU fans if the club had been sold to a businessman from a country that embraces "football" more than the US? Or is this purely an anti-Malcolm Glazer feeling?
Being a big fan of American football, I too might be a bit put off if someone bought my favorite club for the same reasons.
