The person who ultimately was responsible for that salad being prepared and served was the chairman . Nice as he is , we've gotta step up our game in the boardroom as much as we have on the pitch.
there`s still some people on here who seem to blame the club for selling owen and wont accept he left the club by his choice. but you seem the opposite.
i dont agree with you but i admire you stance where you would sell any player the moment they dont sign or re sign a deal on the table in front of them. from what i can gather you would have sold owen with two years left on his contract?
that was the only way we would have got more money for him. it would indeed have been a strong move by a chairman to insist owen was sold against the wishes of the manager and supporters.
