Not Rovers related but a sport story that is dividing opinion at the moment...

Well I don't like what he did. But dying ain't too pleasant either. Perhaps the two are meant to go together?

I guess that's me shown the door then.

For Malcolm Glazer, Man Utd was nothing more than a business opportunity.

His passing may not be so bad for the club?

Despite being portrayed as the centre of the Man Utd fans protests, he was never actually owner of Manchester United. His family own the shares but his sons have been the co-chairmen for the past 9 years. His death probably doesn't change anything in how the club operates or the ownership structure.

Heard today he never visited Old Trafford. That probably says a lot!

His loans won't be covered by Life assurance unfortunately .MU's fixed assets will remain the only collateral.

Its a shame when anyone loses their life.  I loved him in Starsky and Hutch, to be honest.

You'd have thought with having a name like Glazers they'd have bought Crystal Palace
