I'm beginning to think more and more that it would be better if the little twerp just packed his bags and left. 1. Its unlikely he really wants to be here. Sven told the Fake Sheik (  ) that Owen wasnt happy with NUFC but was loving the money. 2. The money we receive could help an incoming manager restructure his side. 3. Would save a huge wedge on wages that we probably cant afford. 4. I have huge reservations whether he and Oba can play together. 5. Remains to be seen whether he's the same player after nearly two years on the sick bed. 6. IF he stays, its likely to be only for another year, so hardly part of the managers long term plans. 7. Very prone to picking up niggles that keep him out for 2-3 weeks at a time. Owen is unquestionably a good player, but we are about to enter a new era and the playing staff need a radical overhauling. I just cant see the point keeping someone who's probably got an eye on bigger things and until he's sold it will be a constant tale in the press of Club X or Y wanting to buy him. He was a reckless gamble that sadly hasnt worked and I think it will be in our best long term interests if we just took the money and ran. Fingers burnt once more. Thats exactly how I feel. Much as he is, by a country mile, the best of the (two) Premiership strikers we have, he has to go, like. If he doesn't, he'll be a weight hanging around the next managers neck, unable to build a team around him cos he's bound to go at some point, unable to give him what he wants (we can't turn into a big club and won't be challenging for a CL place for the foreseeable), waiting to be dropped in it. And we'll get less than £9m next summer. f***. |

good riddance, Roeder, you useless, lying, talentless c***.
Please don't come back. I hope we never draw whatever lower-league club you end up at in the Cup, you shithouse.
Oh, but thank you for one thing - cheers for making us appear consistent as a club: Souness followed by you, a pair of lying, self-serving, clueless wankers.
Shambles, Moore, "Gooch" and Bernard.....come on Allardyce, you can do it, get rid of the other clueless, overpaid c***s as well.

He should never have been signed in the first place, a few of us were ripped into for suggesting it at the time and while this isn't a "told you so" I think a fair few were blown away by the whole transfer and got all giddy because we signed Michael Owen, none more so than the Fat Man.
If a release clause does exist or a European football one, this just shows you how delusional FS is, in Freddy's world, NUFC will always qualify for Europe and no player wants to leave the Toon. Mind, we shouldn't be surprised, this is the man that thought Graeme Souness would be a hit here.
I'd sell Owen like, I think we may not have a choice now, what a joke.
I was one of them who thought that it was a poor signing due to us putting so much money into a player with a poor injury record but I think him going now will do us no good at all because of the message it will give out to others. |

Look at me, my names HTT, no fucker reads my posts because they're so f****** long. I like to think that my posts are GREAT, and think everyones bumfucks me for writing something meaningful, but I ignore the fact that I'm really being bumfucked because I have the power. I'm a little bit like Alan Oliver and like to force my own ideas onto others. That is why I bummed Ottmar Hitzfeld so much and campaig |

Maybe thats because his regular partner was Sibierski and Dyer. |

"I have read what Mr Shepherd as said. He is absolutely right in saying I want to play for a top 4 side. This why I joined this club. The chairman told me that he saw this club as being one that would compete at the highest level, that is what I want, that is what the fans want.
By the start of next season I will be playing for my third different Newcastle manager. It is up to the chairman to get it right this time. He should be appointing someone that will make this place a place that is in the CL every year. That is his job, he does nothing else that I can see, he just appoints the best person to take us all forward.
If the chairman keeps making the sort of appointments that allow this club to finish below Boro, Villa, Blackburn, Reading and Bolton then he will never attract the players I think are needed to get to the top 4.
I want to end my career at Newcastle, in a trophy-winning side. The chairman's actions show to everyone he has little idea of how let me do this."
!!!!!!!!!!!
hhmm. thought you said we shouldn't be spending any money |

As I said elsewhere, if his release clause is £9m, who cares if he goes? Just because he is pimping himself to the top 4 doesn't automatically mean anyone will bite in any case. If they do, great. We'll have £9m to invest in someone who wants to be here and won't collapse on coming into contact with a blade of grass.

I dont buy into this Oba and Owen cant play together, i think that thees a decent chance that they could. From what i have seen of OBa he naturally likes to pick p the ball deep, under Roeder there was no chance of himbein allowed to go deep, as far as roeder was concerend he needed to play right on the back of the last defender. Thats not oba at all, however it is Owen. I knida see Oba as a very poor mans Rooney, which isn;t exactly disprectful. Rooney and Owen play well together. However, i cant see SA employing a 442 which kinda undermines this entire argument |
