  ESPNsoccernet - England - Joel Glazer: 'Give us a chance'
The 38-year-old son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm needed to be escorted away from the ground in a police van on Wednesday night as angry fans vented their frustration at the American's £790million purchase of the club.
Instead, Joel emphasised £270million of his family's own fortune had been ploughed into the venture, proof enough, he claimed, of their determination to succeed.
In a slick appearance, which emphasised the enthusiasm Glazer has for the challenge, he did concede the fans would be facing higher ticket prices in the future, although maybe not by as much as some had feared.

 The Scotsman - Sport - Football - Glazer son takes over at 'Sold Trafford'
The Glazers are borrowing more than £500million to fund their takeover and respected City analysts are alarmed at how they will raise the money to pay off the debts and keep United as a force on the pitch.
Joel was introduced to "soccer" by an English room-mate he met while reading interdisciplinary studies there at the end of the 1980s - an era of scant success for United with mediocrities like Ralph Milne rather than superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Glazer is unlikely to want to upset the club too much, but the tycoon is first and foremost a businessman and analysts have said the deal is ultimately about making a return on his purchase, so changes will be made.
