Wonder what it'll mean for United?
His children have been running things for a while now, so I don't think much if anything will change all that much really.
Absolutely sod all, I suspect.
Manchester United will continue in the model but for, the ownership will be transferred into their names.
However, I hope that all United fans (and everyone else for that matter) are respectfully of his death and not tolerate any ill thoughts towards the man.
He did not look 85
The only issue might come if some of the offspring decide they want to sell up, there were rumours a little while back of that being the case.
As for your last paragraph, I think the club might be quite relieved that it's happened outside of the season, means there's no awkward decisions about whether to commemorate him at a game knowing that there's a decent chance of it not being respected.
Football rivalry aside, always sad news when some one passes away.
Had a special type of feeling towards Glazer to be honest, Owened the Buccs before Man United and the Buccs beat my team the Oakland Raiders in te Raiders last Super Bowl.
So as you can imagine I was more than happy when he took over Man United.
At the height of the "Green and Gold" campaign, chants of "We'll be running round Old Trafford with his head - on a stick" were vociferous and plentiful.
It'd be PR suicide for us to comimiserate his passing in any way.
In the end though, he's a human being, as are his family.
Why? Because some 'fans' might not be able to control themselves? Says more about them than it does about Malcolm Glazer.
It will always be the case in football, when Matt Busby died nearly every ground held a minuites silence. However at Leeds hundreds of fans broke into theres only one Don Revie.
They should simply have a minute's applause - that is what they do up here in Scotland when they suspect it won't go down too well.
MUST's latest Facebook post is all you need to answer that question.
Do you mean FC united's facebook page as that is something else.
Manchester United Supporters Trust.
Leeds fans were angry at the Football League's treatment of Don Revie when he died It was not about disrespecting Matt Busby and Utd, I agree it was not the best timing.
Hope these united fans who hate his gut can celebrate.>:(
