Buccaneers owners dispute financial woes

Football Betting Lines

06/07/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released a statement Monday saying that the Glazer family, which owns the team, is "well positioned" financially, refuting a British report that claims otherwise.

The statement comes on the same day a BBC report said the family, which also owns Manchester United of the English Premier League, has a debt of about $1.6 billion -- more than $570 million than previously known. The report said the debt levels may threaten the family's ownership of Manchester United, but added that the Glazers said they hold nearly $3 billion in assets.

The BBC reported that mortgage documents show the Glazers have borrowed $570 million against their shopping centers (First Allied Corporation) and $95 million against the Buccaneers. That's in addition to their $1 billion Manchester United debt, part of which the BBC reported will be charged at an interest rate of 16.25 percent.

In light of the report, the Buccaneers released a statement Monday saying that their fans "should know that the Glazer family is as financially well- positioned as ever before." The statement said companies the Glazers own generate more than $800 million in revenue each year.

"Sophisticated real estate experts know that the family's refinancing of their commercial real estate before the global meltdown has proven to be the wise move," the statement said.

"While First Allied represents only a small portion of their asset portfolio, it continues to generate significant profits, enjoys over 90 percent occupancy, and has long term non-recourse financing.

"This franchise remains committed to bringing the resources to build its next championship team."

The BBC reported, however, that most of the shopping centers do not generate enough income to draw even with interest payments, adding that four have already gone bankrupt. The report said banks have put a number of the centers on a watch list, and said First Allied properties are worth about $550 million -- less than what the family borrowed against the company.
