Here's a link to a thread about Glazer in the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers forum.
http://bbs.buccaneers.com/showthread.php?t=99464&highlight=Glazer
My reason for posting this is that I remember over the summer many people pointed to the Bucs as an example of what Glazer would do to our club. They were referred to as one of the worst teams in the NFL and Glazer was blamed for selling off the best players just to make a quick profit and refusing to invest in the team. Even though they had won the Superbowl under the Glazers, the majority of comments seemed to be "but look what has happened to them now".
After 5 games of the NFL season, the Bucs share the 2nd best record in the league and the following post from the forum paints the Glazers in a positive light:
I'm just glad they're spendy owners and not cheapo like the 49ers owners, among others. sure they're in it for the money, but they also apparently care about putting a quality product out there. one of the top stadiums in the league, nice rebranding witht he pewter and red, and they aren't too thrifty with players, they'll spend the cheese if they need to.
they look kinda odd, but hell, as long as they keep supporting the team financially as they have thus far, I couldn't care less.
Hopefully this thread can avoid retreading old ground, but The Bucs do not show any evidence of having been run into the ground, as many people claimed. I may not be a fan of the Glazers, but as has been pointed out in various posts, as soon as we became a PLC we ran the risk of someone buying us as an investment. Are there better potential owners? I'm sure there are. Are there worse potential owners? I'm sure there are too.
Their track record with the Bucs is not as bad as people made out over the summer and therefore makes me feel slightly more optomistic towards the future of our club.
