Under the leadership of Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up to play in yet another season, hoping for a Super Bowl title. They are also preparing to part ways with the seven-time Super Bowl champion on a high note. Recently, the Bucs social media handle released a snippet ahead of the regular season, underlining their preparedness for the 2022 campaign. However, fans seemed uninterested and rather criticized the owners for their mismanagement.

Only a few days are left before the season starts, and the team looked busy waking up the fans. For the sake of warming up the fanbase, Buccaneers released a short video snippet, longing for more than a minute with Tom Brady narrating his intentions.
Although fans appreciated their efforts, a section of those took a shot at the Buccaneers’ owners, the Glazer family, who also happens to own one of the iconic soccer fraternities, Manchester United.
Our work is unfinished. So let's get to it.

The Glazer family was under the radar for alleged mismanagement that had pushed MU under a heap of huge debts.
“Manchester United is one of the world’s most iconic sports franchises. But they haven’t won the Premier League in a decade, and the ownership group has taken more than $1 billion off the table while saturating the club with debt. It’s a wild story.” Joe Pompliano wrote on Twitter.
Back in 1995, the Glazer bought the Buccaneers with a valuation of $192 million. Today, the team boasts a net worth of $3.3 billion, a surge of 1,618%, pretty huge in terms of revenue generation.

This very income helped them acquire MU in 2005. However, mounting debts amounted to more than $1.2 billion. At the time of acquisition, there weren’t any debts. However, a hostile takeover led to all this happening. Now they are accused of taking more than $1 billion home, even without winning a championship for the past decade.
Fans overlooked Tom Brady rather than took a dig at Joel Glazer
Today, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Manchester United are two of the biggest sports fraternities. All thanks to Joel Glazer and the family. However, with rising debts, there have been speculations that the owners might sell the franchise. One user suggested kicking off the owners from a fan’s perspective.
Its called ROI. When they bought MU nvr promised to have a competitive team. This is an absolute masterclass on how to make business!
👏👏 to the ownership! If I was a shareholder I would leave them forever as mngng partners.
Now, from the fans side; they should kick them off!

Joe you have to add in the news that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is interested in buying the club. Thanks for helping expose the Glazers and we will keep fighting to get the #Glazersout

This user wanted Glazers out of the management.
My poor old club. Dead in the hands of the Glazers! It's sad!

Another user joined the conversation with a similar agenda.

This user mentioned the owners will sell the team.
The American Glazers are a cancerous tumour that have ruined the club. Nothing in it for them. We all hate them; they add nothing and will make a fortune from selling the club.

Thanks for the thread Pomp. Whilst other club supporters hate our club, and that’s fair, the true supporters hate our own club even more.
We support financial leaches. Hopefully not for long
