The Bucs and Browns are a combined 1-14 this season, while across the pond Manchester United stands
second and Aston Villa stands eight in the Premier League standings. I know what some people are
thinking, what is the connections between the four teams. The connections is simple The Browns and
Aston Villa are owned by Randy Lerner, while the Bucs and Manchester United are owned by Malcolm
Glazer (pictured right).

News outlets out of Tampa are reporting that Malcolm Glazer is looking for a buyer for his National
Football League team. The Glazer family have owned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1995, moving them
into a state of the art stadium and winning the 2002 Super Bowl. Glazer completed his takeover of
Manchester United in 2005.

Anfield Talk 27 October @ 02:59 PM EST
Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots NFL franchise, has once again
spoken out about the possibility of buying into a Premier League soccer club, with Liverpool his
favoured destination.
Kraft, who watched Liverpool's 2-0 win over Premier League Manchester United on television before
seeing the Patriots beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owned by the Glazer family, again expressed his
interest in a Premier League move, but confirmed he would not enter a league where success is so
dependent on finance.

First of all, check out this insane header goal from Martin Palermo of Boca Juniors:
Then, read Jack Warner's comments about England's bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018. No word
on whether others within FIFA feel the same way or not, but that can't be a bad thing for the USA
bid.

I hate the word 'Soccer', it should be football and nothing else. As you know, the Americans
have also adopted the Football name for another sport, American Football. You may not have the
knowledge about it that you do about the hideously named 'Soccer' but you can get some quite
brilliant sports betting odds.

So then the Champions League draw proper has taken place, Arsenal have been drawn in a relatively
easy looking group H. United face difficult looking away trips to Moscow, Wolfsburg and Besiktas.
No doubting Fergie and the Glazer family were desperate to avoid being drawn against Real Madrid
for very obvious reasons - at least the potential for great embarrassment for all concerned has for

This has been a topic I had been meaning to touch upon for a while but haven't until now.
Tim Rich, who seems to be The Guardian's man accompanying the United travelling party,
has been doing his share of sending postcards from the far-east. Topics covered in his daily
dispatches range from describing the boredom of our poor, grossly overpaid, footballers [boo,
hoo.

EPL Talk 17 June @ 03:05 PM EST
The Guardian today has a very interesting article regarding Manchester United's owners changing
the clubs transfer policy to concentrate on signing players under 26. It seems that the Glazer
family want the club to only sign players that they can recoup transfer fees on later in their
careers.

£80,000,000
£34,000,000
If Spanish outlet Marca (I'm linking Google News, but only because it's in English) is to be
believed – which isn't a huge stretch considering it's basically Real Madrid's PR department –
David Villa will sign for the Madrileños next week.

United fans are today coming to terms with the fact that Ronaldo is soon to be a Real Madrid
player, it doesn't get much worse than that, but it soon could be if Tevez quits as expected.Many
fans want to know who made the decision to sell Ronaldo, some reports suggest it might have been
the Glazer family, others say Ferguson made a promise to the player twelve months ago stating that
he could

Not the result we wanted (nor the other relegation candidates apart from <?xml:namespace

Yanited's Premier League title parade. Still, we came away with our heads held high. Mind you,
United decided to expend minimum effort with the Champions League Final against Barcelona coming
rapidly into view.

When the suits at the FA decided to build the new Wembley they probably envisaged, or at least
hoped, that they would possess a stadium capable of eclipsing that of any other in the country. I
imagine the conversation ran something like this: ‘Well Old Trafford stands at around 60,000,
let's make Wembley 90,000, just to be on the safe side.

With Manchester United's season in danger unravelling following a run of poor performances on the
pitch, comes the not so surprising news that the club's parent company Red Football, owned by the
Glazer family, saw its debts rise from an eye-watering £606m to £649m.While pre-tax turnover and
profits have also increased following a hugely successful season on the pitch, fans will continue
to be
