Buying the team with debt and using large amounts of turnover to pay off interest
Spending the bare minimum on transfers while bringing in hundreds of millions profit in annual turnover
Banning season ticket holders from games if they fail to pay for games not on their season ticket (automatic cup scheme)

Which is what they've done in England. I think they've sucked well over a billion dollars out of Man. United just on interest payments. Fans' opinion is that they could have dominated at the highest level for years if they didn't have these leeches in charge.
Not that's been reported publicly. As far as I know, the Glazers try to win. We have a salary cap in the NFL, so I can't tell you if they'd be big spenders or anything like that. I think they usually try to make the most out of their resources, so that probably means that they'd throw down if given the chance.
