It shouldn’t matter, but god he was fit.
I’ve always considered it. Malcolm himself was a self-made billionaire and took arguably the worst NFL team and won the Super Bowl with them eight years later. He definitely knew good decision making and a high level of business nous and he lived a rollercoaster of a life. He seemed a pretty inspirational figure judging by the stuff written about him.
He was pushing 80 when the Glazer Family bought us so I imagine he probably didn’t have that much input into things. He probably put his feet up after the Bucs won the Super Bowl back in 2003. You’ve probably accomplished all you could in life after that.
It’s a common cliche that the kids of a successful person end up being not as savvy as that person, and I get that feeling here.

Mate, include that quote that you found and make your case anyway. If anyone points out it doesn't say what you think it says, just deny and deflect.
Darcie can't be escaping the blame game.
Yea the man who sued his sisters just to use all his parents money in legal fees so they didnt get any of it was a misunderstood genius
In fairness you can’t spell ‘genius’ without the word ‘massive bellend’.
They're all no better than spit on the sidewalk
And yet no statue of the man outside OT. It's a disgrace.
Jesus talk about being based, if only his sons had half this calculating ruthlessness
His sons are his legacy.
Poor Malcolm never heard about the concept of pulling out. Great guy otherwise.
Rich McKay was the GM of the team when Malcolm bought the club, he's the one who picked Dungy and helped build that late 90s and early 2000s team that would go on to win the Superbowl. Gruden got them a championship but they let McKay walk so Gruden could run things and the success quickly turned to failure. Glazers buy something and keep the people who were around from the previous era, success. Glazers make changes over time, not so much success.
Imagine his poor wife having that hairy sweaty lump of lard pounding away at her, not just once but numerous times.
you say the leprechaun lives on but I googled and he doesn't 
If I said what I really feel and what I’d really love to say in response to this thread then I would be banned without question
I’ll just say that they’re a credit to him and he’d be proud of the massive pricks they’ve become

Renamed to “The Stockholm Thread” when?
We can't forget that outside of sports, his approach towards managing his property empire earned him the affectionate nickname of "kindly grandfather" from his many tenants.
No wait, actually it was "slumlord".

I can tell by this lazily written, pseudo-intelligent, sarcasm-ridden version of an overly constructed joke post, that the OP is probably in his mid-30s.
That would fit well with the in vogue-humour of that age group. You know, the same people who think it's hilarious making overly intricate trolling YouTube videos on how The Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars movie. And also the same meme-shouters who actually found Shia LeBeouf's mental breakdown thinly disguised as a motivational speech on speed, was either funny, genuinely motivational, or both.
No offense. I just don't see any value in threads like these. Put it in the lazy jokes subforum, and cheese it out with the fellowship of keyboard comedians.
TLDR; Darcie Glazer is clearly the puppet master behind this whole operation. I also think she is the head of our scouting department.

When the Glazers first took over, the arguments against them were "hurr durr debt bad!" and "damned Yanks, I hate damned Yanks". In fact, the debt never really impacted the club, while having David Gill and Alex Ferguson in charge meant that we continued to prosper.
The current owners have done fine in operating the club from a commercial prospective, but have no idea how to run the footballing side of things. As a result, our transfer record over the past decade has been nothing short of atrocious, our infrastructure is now stale, and our managers prior to ETH were, in many cases, awful. This is what really needs to improve under the new ownership.

If you grabbed Malcolm's cheeks and pulled on them rapidly he would make all sorts of funny adorable little chipmunk noises.
Hard to hold any hate for the man.

He looks like that horse racing commentator on Channel 4 that died a while back.
Ah come on, if you need a piss just wait till you're inside the ground.
99.99% of nepo babies are absolute pond scum, the Glazer Goonies being the beacon of said scum.
You'd miss Unkie Malc and his calming presence. Tactical genius and could've brought Tiki Taka in with enough time.
Oof, that hurts. Thought I was doing a fact check joke instead of wanking.
The mind works in mysterious ways.
But to continue the bickering about disrespectfulness: Then what is the unnecessary name-calling of his children for? Them being – possibly – lesser achievers than the shoes they stepped into (handed to them by the grand achiever, to be fair), doesn't really awaken a need to call anyone an inbred (though, to be fair, I did not fact check that part – apologies if they are in all actuality bred in, and you simply thought that was crucial to you analogy).
may the fella rest in peace though. Hope his kids don't get crucified too much for being alleged less successful sports club owners
I'm just bummed he didn't get cut head to toe
Where's GCHQ when you need him.....
What gets me is that they bought the club with relatively minimal investment, made a shit load from us over the years and are due to pocked billions in clear profit.
Yet peoples still think they're bad, clueless businessmen. It's lunacy. You can hate them for the state they're leaving the club in, but it's moronic to think from a business perspective they haven't played an absolute fecking blinder.

He and his family are all fecking bastards
I don"t care how good their takeover was. This family are just a bunch of putrid slimy maggots and I can only wish
them all the bad luck in the world to smack them right in their goblin looking faces!!

Sad but true
For years people said their debt laden business plan wouldn't work, we wouldn't have any money for players, we would go bankrupt like Leeds or Liverpool etc.
In the end, even with the debt we have wasted an insane amount on the squad in the last decade and thankfully never came close to financial disaster. But COVID matchday losses plus a need for huge infrastructure investment has now finally pushed them to the point where they will hopefully feck off once and for all.
if they were good businessmen they wouldnt have to sell the club
The gazillions that are heading their way would suggest otherwise. Sometimes to be successful in business you have to a hard nosed, ruthless, thickskinned sob and the way they have dragged out the sale, oblivious to all the anger and hatred aimed at them from a global fan base, suggests they don't lack in these qualities. And their bank balances will reflect that.
thats nothing to do with them being shambolic owners, and they were rich before they came to the club purely on the back of their father. They would have bankrupted nearly any other club
At the end of the day, you can't spell glazers without rearranging the letters to "ez slag" so put your feet up, chill the feck out and support the team. Come on you mighty red devil rays!
*There's also an "r" in glazers but it doesn't make any words so just forget it exists.
