Malcolm Irving Glazer (born May 25, 1928 in Rochester, New York) is an American businessman and sports-team owner. He is president and chief executive officer of First Allied Corporation, a holding company for his varied business interests, most notably in the food processing industry. He holds controlling stakes in England’s Manchester United Football Club and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a National Football League team located in western Florida, United States. The self made businessman’s wealth was estimated by ‘FORBES’ in 2004 to be $1 billion. Malcolm Glazer’s life today is a far cry from back in 1943 when following his father’s death , he took over the family watch-parts shop.
Malcolm Glazer now lives in Palm Beach, Florida. He is married to Linda and has five sons and one daughter: Avram, Kevin, Bryan, Joel, Darcie and Edward. Three of them (Joel, Bryan and Edward), are vice-presidents in First Allied. He runs a wide-ranging business empire that includes shopping centers and nursing homes.
Glazer was the fifth of seven children in a Jewish household. He inherited his father’s wholesale jewelry business. At that time he had just $300 to his name. Within five years he started investing in other businesses.
The business first expanded into property, buying several mobile home (or “trailer”) parks in the 1970s, mainly in the Florida area. He went on to become president and chief executive officer of First Allied Corporation, a U.S. holding company for his various business interests, such as food processing, marine supplies, health care, real estate, energy exploration, and broadcasting.
In 1980, after his mother’s death Malcolm Glazer was involved in an acrimonious dispute with his sisters over her will. The 1980s for Glazer were notable for a number of failed bids for businesses. Glazer’s first attempt at a corporate takeover was in 1984, when he launched an unsuccessful 7.6 billion dollar bid to buy the bankrupt freight rail company, US Conrail. He also failed in an attempted takeover of kitchen designer Formica in 1988 and, later, with motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson. One of the companies that Glazer did successfully purchase was nearly bankrupt Zapata, an oil company founded by former president George Bush. Glazer successfully diversified it into fish protein and Caribbean supermarkets. Glazer has owned a diverse portfolio of nationwide investments which include food service equipment, food packaging and food supplies, marine protein, broadcasting, health care, property, banking, natural gas and oil, the Internet, stocks and Bonds (finance).
Glazer scored a major coup when in 1995 he bought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for $192 million following the death of former owner Hugh Culverhouse. The Glazer family was enticed by Baltimore with plans for a new more profitable stadium immediately upon purchasing the Bucs in 1995, Glazer declared the team's home field, Tampa Stadium, inadequate and began lobbying local government for a replacement. Glazer entertained relocation offers from other cities, but kept the Bucs in place after the local government agreed build the franchise a $200 million state-of-the-art stadium (the future Raymond James Stadium) to be funded by a local sales tax increase. They stayed in Florida after the city of Tampa passed legislation for and a new state-of-the-art stadium Raymond James Stadium. It was built in Tampa to retain the team and replaced the old dated Tampa Stadium that was maligned by sportscaster Chris Berman as the “Big Sombrero” for its shape. Due in large measure to a very favorable lease agreement in which the team collects most of the revenue from the stadium while the local government must pay almost all of the expenses, the franchise was valued at $963 million by Forbes magazine in 2007. The Buccaneers have experienced improved success on the field during the Glazer's ownership. After suffering through over a decade of consecutive losing seasons, the Bucs made the playoffs in 1997 and the NFC championship game in 1999 under coach Tony Dungy, and won their first Super Bowl in 2002 under 1st-year coach Jon Gruden. Three of Glazer’s sons run the Buccaneers.
Prior to Glazer ownership, the Buccaneers were perennial losers, maligned by others as the Yuccaneers and other derogatory names. The hiring of qualified football coaches and office staff quickly turned around the franchise and in a short few years the team was a playoff contender. In the 1999 season the team, then coached by Tony Dungy, was defeated in the NFC championship game by the heavily favored St. Louis Rams by a score of 11-6 in a game in which the Bucs and their defensive-minded scheme nearly pulled a major upset. In the 2002 season, the first season with new coach Jon Gruden, the Buccaneers defeated the Oakland Raiders for their first Super Bowl victory. Gruden had coached the Raiders the previous season.
From 2003 Glazer started building up a sizeable stake in Manchester United. Eventually Glazer bought out the club. However, somewhat ironically, the takeover of United plunged the previously financially healthy club into debt.
In May 2005, Glazer paid $1.47 billion for 28.7 percent of English Premier League football team Manchester United, following a nearly year-long takeover battle. The takeover was fiercely opposed by many fans of Manchester United, who organised themselves in the form of the independent Manchester United Supporters' Trust (formerly Shareholders United), partly because the Glazer takeover saddled the club with a large debt (over $850m) and interest that comes with it (approx £60 million a year) but also due to many fans' belief that the club should be in the hands of fans and not business men. The mainly match-going fans object to the escalating ticket prices at a time when the club receives more money than ever from TV and sponsorship deals. In anger at the takeover, thousands of fans failed to renew their season tickets. Many of these got together to set up a new club called F.C. United of Manchester. The new protest club have had great success which include three successive promotions in three years while attracting gates of well over 2000 fans each week, with a record attendance of 6023 . More fans, although not following F.C. United of Manchester, also decide to boycott Old Trafford and only attend away games. Anti-Glazer songs and chants are still regularly heard at away games across the country.
Supporters of Manchester United in other parts of the world, such as North America and the Far East, have, in relative terms, looked upon the transition in ownership with relative dispassion. Since the deal went through Malcolm Glazer himself has played little visible role at the club, which seems to be run mainly by his children, several of whom are club directors, while he is not. However, the club has been successful since his takeover and has continued spending large amounts of money to attract the best players to the club. The team has won two Premier League titles, a League Cup and in 2008 won the UEFA Champions League in the three seasons so far.
For a fair part, the Glazer family has fulfilled their promise that they will not interfere too much with the daily business at United, leaving the business part of the club to David Gill, and allowing maximum freedom for Sir Alex in the sporting part of the club and providing funds for nearly £100 million pounds worth of transfers.
Jonathan Legard, who made the BBC radio programme, ‘In Search of the Glazers’, reported that Manchester United chief executive David Gill said that the Glazers had been supportive and co-operative since they had taken over at Old Trafford in June 2005.
On 16 April 2006, Glazer suffered a stroke causing impaired speech and loss of mobility in his right arm and leg. At the time, his son Joel said “My father’s spirits are high and doctors expect his condition to improve with rehabilitation,” but after spending much of the intervening period in the hospital, Glazer suffered a second stroke in May, 2006.

The team has won several Premier League titles and in 2008 won the UEFA Champions League.
A statement from his Red Football bidding vehicle said he now owned 98% of the Old Trafford club. This takes him past the 97.6% level needed to force a compulsory buyout of remaining shareholders.
But Mr Glazer, who took over United in a £790m buyout, is keeping open his £3 a share offer to investors for now. "Red owns or has received valid acceptances of the offer in respect of a total of 259,950,194 Manchester United Shares, representing approximately 98.0% of the issued share capital of Manchester United," Mr Glazer's representatives told the London Stock Exchange

20 things which people don’t know about Malcolm Glazer :
1. Loadsamoney. 75-year old Glazer is estimated by Forbes magazine to be the 244th richest person in the US Though his wealth is listed at around a billion, what the real figure is remains shrouded in secrecy.
2. Buccaneering. Glazer bought the struggling American football team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995 for $192m, after it had notched up a long strong of losses both financial and on the pitch. His first act was to fire the manager. In 2003, the Buccaneers won the Superbowl to crown their improved fortunes.
3. Manchester, prepare! Glazer goes for the jugular. When he offered to buy the Buccaneers, he promised the Tampa authorities he would go halves on a new stadium with them. After getting control, he backed out of the deal, and gave Tampa two years to build it themselves or he would move the team to a city that would. Tampa caved in, and city taxpayers are still paying a half cent sales tax to fund the stadium’s construction.
4. No slow coach. Though he wouldn’t buy the stadium, he has spent plenty on players. He even broke the record for poaching a coach, paying Oakland Raiders $8m for Jon Gruden. Gruden helped the Buccaneers to its Superbowl win in his first season.
5. Tough love. Glazer doesn’t just play hard in the business world. He even fought his five sisters through the courts over the contents of his mother Hannah’s will.
6. Bought on tick.Despite the name, Glazer didn’t begin his rags to riches saga installing windows. When his father Abraham died, he took over his father’s watch-parts shop in Rochester, New York in 1943 at age 15. At that time he had just $300 to his name. One of the few quotations attributed to this very private man was on his father’s death which he said was “probably the most tragic thing in my life. But it was good in one way. It made me a man”.
7. Miniature for Sport? The bespectacled Glazer is very short and sports a ginger beard. To the Buccaneers’ fans he is known as the leprechaun.
8. The Bush connection.Glazer owns a company, Zapata Corporation, that was started by the father of US president George W. Bush. While George H. W Bush began Zapata as an oil and gas outfit, Glazer sidetracked it into fish protein, Caribbean supermarkets and sausage skins. Yuck.
9. V-twin spin. Before his interest turned to the world’s richest soccer club, Glazer tried to buy other glamorous firms. In 1989 he tried to buy the ultra-cool motorcycle company Harley-Davidson.
10. Naff. But he also made an equally unsuccessful attempt to buy the company that makes Formica, the outdated 1950s-style table and worktop material in 1988.
11. My first train set. Glazer’s first attempt at a takeover was in 1984 when he tried to buy the bankrupt US Conrail system. He offered $7.6bn, though he only actually had $100m of his own. Attempt to raise the difference eventually failed.
12. Part of a US tradition. Malcolm Glazer’s family were orthodox Jewish immigrants from the Baltic republic of Lithuania. His father was said to be a deserter from the Russian Army before travelling to the US.
13. Shop till you drop. Glazer made his mega-bucks in banking, nursing homes and real estate, mainly in the Florida area. Allied Corporation, the family property firm, owns shopping centres in 15 US states.
14. Jet set commute. Glazer travels by private jet from his £16m Palm Beach home to Tampa for every home game of the Buccaneers.
15. Scoring boom. The Tampa stadium has a $3m replica pirate ship that fires its cannons every time the Buccaneers score.
16. All in the family. Glazer's two soccer-fanatic sons Avram and Joel led the bid for Manchester United. There is no history of their father having an interest in football.
17. Official investigation. The US Securities and Exchange Commission, the powerful watchdog that oversees Wall Street, is probing allegations that Glazer’s family artificially boosted the market values of two family-controlled companies which may have been used as collateral for bid finance
18. Dogged. Glazer was taken to court by tenants at one of the residential caravan parks that he owns in New York state after he started charging each household £2 a month per child and £3.50 per dog.
19. Rats. The Buccaneers travel 80 miles to a training ground because their existing Tampa training facilities, which Glazer has yet to renew despite promises, are infested with rats.
20. Corporate raider. Many of Glazer’s attempt to buy companies seem to have failed. However, buying the company approached may not have been the objective. By raising the share prices of the companies he approaches, he has often been able to offload his shares at a profit. If his record is anything to go by, this is what he may do at Man United.
