Walliver 0 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The last time I heard, his (alleged) escape clause was 12m. Why has it gone down now? Because we finished so low or is it just a huge guess by someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30610 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Interesting to see that there has been no denial of this story from the chairman or even more surprisingly from the Chronicle given that Oliver is bound to have asked Shepherd about this supposed clause.

It was denied ad-nauseum at the time. It was denied that there was no clause stating that he could leave a year later but there was no denial that a release clause existed. Perhaps Oliver's time today may have been better spent finding the truth behind these claims than penning Roeder's eulogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 To be honest providing a half decent figure came in for Owen, not 9 million, I wouldnt be too bothered to see him go. At the end of next season I doubt we will have done enough to convince him to sign a contract extension which would therefore put us in a position where he would be free to walk away in another 12 months time or if we wanted to recoup any money at all we would have to sell him. If this was the case I would much rather we had money to reinvest in a frontline now that can take us forward rather than make do with Owen for 12 months and be left rebuilding once again. I know he is, when fit, one of the top strikers. However I want to see the next manager build a "team" and if sacrificing Owen will help us do it, so be it.

Plus, even if we could guarantee he will stay, he's not the type of player you can build a team around. Not that I'm advocating that is a good thing to do, but it's likely he will always miss half the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) "Michael has two choices: he can come out and tells our fans that he is happy here," Shepherd told the Daily Express. "Or I tell him none of the big four are interested. Because that's the case." "This report was a very thinly-disguised attempt to flog Owen from under our feet, sourced very close to the player or those who look after him. The information must have come from there, not from our club." "The loyalty this club has shown him over the last two years, when he had injury problems in his first season and had missed virtually all of this season, deserves something in return." "He has had a really serious injury and no-one, least of all one of the biggest clubs, is likely to take a risk at this stage. "He has to prove to everyone, himself and Newcastle United included, that he is fully recovered and not about to break down again." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/6641411.stm He's on his way.

Lentini's signing was a world record until we broke it a few years later when we signed Shearer I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
