US sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer, who now owns nearly 28% of Manchester Utd, has ended talks with the club over a few issues. United said Mr Glazer's proposed move was "not in the best interests" of the club because it relied too much on borrowed money. Also, it doesn't help that Glazer appears to be a large version of a leprechaun on crack. "He really is scary looking. We don't want him to represent United. Shave the fricking scary beard and get your teeth whitened for crying out loud," stated the club. United said that they intended "to have further discussions with the Glazer family and other interested shareholders once they are able to deal with Glazer's appearance." It is up in the air when this could be.

Here is a couple fun facts that you might not know about the leprechaun. Malcolm Glazer said that he would help pay for a new stadium when he bought the Buccaneers, but backed out at the last minute. He threatened to leave Tampa with the Bucs if a new stadium wasn't built, so, now city taxpayers (such as myself) are still funding the building of the stadium for his ultimate profit.

He also has connections with the dark side. Glazer owns a company, Zapata Corporation, that was started by the father of US president George W. Bush. It started off as an oil and gas company (surprise), but Glazer switched into new industries such as fish protein, Caribbean supermarkets and sausage skins. Ugh. He certainly hasn't been the Buccaneer's lucky charm this year.
