AMPA, Fla. (May 19, 2006) -- Buccaneers and Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer remained hospitalized May 19, nearly three weeks after suffering a second stroke.
The 77-year-old Glazer was readmitted to Cleveland Clinic on April 30. He suffered an initial stroke on April 16 and was released from the Florida hospital eight days later.
"Doctors expect my father to return home in the next few weeks," Bucs executive vice president Joel Glazer said in a statement released by the team. "As a result of this stroke his rehabilitation period will be longer and more challenging."
The first stroke left the elder Glazer with impaired speech and mobility in his right arm and leg.
There are two Cleveland Clinics in Florida, however the Glazer family has not revealed which one the reclusive Palm Beach businessman was taken to.
Glazer purchased the Bucs in 1995 for $192 million, then a record for an NFL franchise. In 2005, he gained control of Manchester United with a $1.47 billion takeover sharply opposed by fans of the soccer team.
