If ownership is drawing off funds that are to the detriment of the club, thats a different story, but Man United finished 2nd. So I'm not certain that story holds up.
I think a more accurate question would be:
"Have the Glazers approved and financed expenditures by Manchester United in purchasing players and improving the team."
And the answer to that is unequivocally 'Yes.'
Regardless of their own draws.
However the people in charge of this task were largely incompetent and as such the purchases were largely inefficient.

Not disdain, but the idea of the Glazers putting money into a new stadium - even stadium improvements is likely an uphill battle. If there is any extra money on the table, the Glazers' are certainly holding their hands out
