Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This sort of thing takes me back. We'll be hearing another Laurent Robert-esque "He's gone; Good!" when Owen leaves, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't believe they are real quotes - or I certainly don't believe he was aware he was talking to a newspaper. However I do love how the newspaper makes everything comic book/ soap opera. Keegan’s main reason for leaving was that Ashley’s sidekicks Dennis Wise and Tony Jimenez dictated transfer policy. I think they've been interviewing someone that looks a bit like him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 190 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ashley Young is as good as Messi & Ronaldo don't you know. Obviously Martin O'Neill's just taking the p*ss out of their fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 190 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well I don't see much difference between the two? Ashley bigs up Kinnear saying he's better than Capello, O'Neill bigs up Young saying he's as good as Messi & Ronaldo. Doubt Villa fans criticised MO'N for that even though it's not true.

There isn't much difference. It's obvious why the reaction is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 190 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 True. Although people have been whinging about his media silence, there's been 2 direct quotes in the last 4-5 days where he hasn't really said a great deal wrong, the latest interview obviously tounge-in-cheek, and still people moan.

Guest alex Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) That's because people want some frank, tangible promises about what he has in store for the club. A piss-take interview just comes across as more liberty taking showing disdain for the fans. Edited December 18, 2008 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 190 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Again, fair enough, but within those two "interviews" have been some interesting comments. - He's still trying to sell the club. - There is money available for him to spend to get us out of trouble in January. - Owen's been offered a good contract, and says there's nothing he can do if City come up with a better one. - He's admitted he made mistakes.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 - Owen's been offered a good contract, and says there's nothing he can do if City come up with a better one.- He's admitted He could improve his offer. There's nothing he'd choose to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that's how an owner of a Premiership club should talk to the supporters? Through The Sun and NOTW? Not through the NUSC or official statements on the webiste.... but through shite newspapers? Making things worse for himself tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 190 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Why should he talk to the NUSC when all they've done from day one is try to get him out? Look at the countdown thing on there. Done by amateurs. Agree about the official website though, he could use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 After his latest shite I'll be astonished if Owen isn't sold in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake 0 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Frightening the number of clueless cunts on the kids board who are still backing Ashley. I hope they get kicked to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
