Premier League - Brown wants Owen meeting

Eurosport - Fri, 26 Jun 20:31:00 2009

Phil Brown has asked Michael Owen for the chance to sell him a move to Hull.

2008-2009 Newcastle United Michael Owen - 0

The Tigers boss is yet to contact the 29-year-old former England international - and his club was not among those sent a glossy brochure outlining his qualities.

However, he is hoping to arrange face-to-face talks after Owen's Newcastle deal expires at midnight next Tuesday.

Brown told Sky Sports: "He is still connected to a football club, we haven't been given permission by that football club to talk to him, so we will honour that.

"But he will be available from July 1 and hopefully Michael will give us the time of day and we can get around a table, then who knows?

"Yes, it is one we are interested in. It isn't a throw-away comment, it is a genuine interest."

  2. I would rather support Newcastle with a stadium called­ St. James Park than blunderland with a stadium called­ AHEM!!! I can hardly say it without laughing....­ Stadium of light ha ha ha ha ha! If ever there was a­ stupid name for a stadium, then this is it lol! Only a­ mackem could have thought of it, got bless you, you sad­ bunch of retards. When god gave out head's, the­ mackem's thought he said shed's and all asked­ for large wooden one's he he he!

  8. I don't often log in and respond on here but there­ have been lots of nasty comments on here for months by­ mackem fans about Newcastle... yeah yeah... you are in­ the prem and we are not, we spent 16 years there... how­ long have you lot been there in total????.... if you­ love your team so much... get on your own F U K I N­ page, sing your own mis-guided praises and leave ours­ alone ok? We dont like you, we loathe you, we dont even­ want to chat to you ok? Get the message? No matter­ what, we (Newcastle fans) are Newcastle through and­ through. Through thick and thin, we love our club and­ will always be supporters of it. FACT!!!! Not like­ those so called Manchester United fans from all around­ the world who just support them cos they are at the top­ of their game. So so sad.... if it was (and I am­ speaking hypothetically here) the other way round, and­ Newcastle were the top club.... and MUFC were­ relegated... I just wonder how many so called MUFC fans­ would suddenly be NUFC fans? I bet most.

  9. Hutch, you are correct, Mike must be a mackem fan,­ can't see the difference between an avatar and a­ real person.... short sighted, gloating mackem T W A T!­ Lots of truth in what Carl Garden, John Connoly (my­ fave author by the way), Cameron, Jack, Veteran and co­ said. Owen is well past his sell by date and never­ wanted to stay with Newcastle anyway, too busy sitting­ by the goal mouth not trying to battle for a won ball.­ The fact is that most of the over paid players on that­ field on the final day of the last season decided­ " I have a get out clause.... if Newcastle are­ relegated, we can leave without breaking our­ contracts" EVEN DUFF SAID IT!!! So hardly any of­ them played to full potential and that is why we were­ relegated FACT! If they all wanted to play for us, we­ would have stayed up! Lets face it, 4 strikers on the­ pitch and not ONEGOAL!!! (and only one goal would have­ done it and Hull (oh... the mighty Hull) would have­ went down and Newcastle would have stayed up...­ FACT!!!! What does that tell you eh?

  10. Mike - It's an avatar and it's not me you fool.­ Do you have a grey square head and white eyes? Either­ way, you are still a prat - FACT.

  11. Owen, there's a safe place for you: MLS

  15. Tony C You are quite right mate Phil Brown should keep­ his money in order to pay the expected larger fee­ requested by ManU after Campbells U21 performance his­ latest Yellow/Red notwithstanding!

    From Easyrider2609, on Fri 26 Jun 11:18PM

  16. Why does Phil Brown want to sign Michael Owen? Surely­ Michael Owen is yesterday's news? Do Hull City­ really need him? Is there not more worthwhile signings­ out there?
    He's too expensive, he's injury­ prone and hsn't had any decent first team football­ for a while!
    No Mr Brown, don't sign­ 'driftwood, sign them if they want ths shirt!'

    From Veteran, on Fri 26 Jun 9:29PM

  17. carl.garden. Well said mate.
