Hearing rumours that Joey Barton has sacked Ched Evans with immediate effect. Must have been something serious.
Just watched Gary nevilles soccerbox on sky, Micheal Owen was the guest. Turns out when he left Newcastle we where actually in for him.....he ended up at Man Utd. So it turns out maybe there was a chance his helicopter could have landed at hymers.
Always thought that was just Phil Brown name dropping Owen to the media for attention, he knew we had no chance of signing him.
Owen at that stage of his career would have cost us In Wages at least, a lot more then what we payed Bullard
It's in Owens book, the choice was 'a relegation battle with Hull or Manchester United'.... City were in for him and for a time Owen considered the offer, in fact I think Man U hijacked the deal when Ferguson spoke to Owen at a celebrity dinner.
