It was seen at the time as an outrageous offer by the press. Owen was being polite and letting the little club down lightly. He never stated he wanted to come to Wigan.
In the same way he would never have gone to Hull, before Man U signed him.
Doom-monger = boo boy.
Not definate about the whole situation but I was lead to believe that he WOULD have signed if NUFC didn’t come in. Ah well that’s the press for ya.
And the ‘Boo-boys’ shouldn’t be allowed an opinion full stop!.We agree on something. Nice oneJust asked my Dad (Lifelong wigan fan) Just curious and he did say that He just rang to thank Whelan and didn’t say that he would sign so apologies :oops: … But he also didn’t say that he wouldn’t sign so who knows what would have happened if NUFC didn’t come in.. Considering Whelan said that he would release him if a bigger club came in.
Off now c ya lat0rz
This post typifies how some people react to a situation on here. An over reaction as usual!!
Take last nights hat trick against a pish poor team out the equation for a second, lets look at what Michael Owen has achieved this season:-1) Struggled to make the first team or even the bench at times at Man U, despite only being 29 years of age and having played in the prem or the top leagues in europe for over 10 years.
2) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite costing them nigh on £100 grand a week in wages.
3) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite united going through a transition of losing quality players either through transfers, injuries or simply being past their sell by date.
4) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite a young unknown Equadorian player from Wigan making more appearances for them than any other player in the squad.
5) When given the chance to play he looks like a third division player at best sqaundering chance after chance in the first 10 matches he played and looking 10 yards slower than he was 5 years ago.
Suddenly he gets a hat trick against a team that wouldn’t hold its own in the scottish second division and its dave whelan said this, dave whelan said that.
Dave whelan was bang on, Owen was and is not worth the money he still attracts. He’s more interested in his horses than pulling a gut out for his team. :roll:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!He phoned Whelan to thank him for making an offer. He was letting us down lightly and making himself look like a nice boy. He never said he was coming here! You’re rewriting history. Seriously check it out.It’s my opinion that he isn’t right for the club. Oh hang on, I forgot, it’s only the doom-mongers who are allowed to have an opinion….
Hang on, in the interests of fairness, there were TWO occasions when Whelan was asked about Owen.
One, when he left Real Madrid, when Owen politely told him no, stifling a huge belly laugh.
Two, when he wanted to leave Newcastle and was looking for a club. That’s when Whelan said he wasn’t interested. Owen still ended up laughing.
Get a grip u2 – we don’t want Owen he’s welcome to go the Champ with the rest of the losers that play football for money and refuse to play and join in with up and coming real talent! lol u 2!!!! Meowwwww
He gets paid as he plays – he would have played n showed us what he could do if he come here n we kept Emile – same old tho – can u imagine Valencia and Gomez n Henri Thomas – real class football that comes natural but Mr Whelan (sorry) has lined his pockets – he could have been clever and “Little Wigan” could have been so big – he’s a business man who has had fun in a little investment – it means more to real fans and big supporters coz we see what could have been in the long run – but dont hold ur breath i still have faith! We just need a football fan – leave Mr Wheelan to Rugby n his little business ventures – we all know we have to invest confidence n finance in our players – it will come!
He,s sowd t thugby and given t stadium t latics…….aye an give them “parasitic peanut huggers” a 50yr lease on a peppercorn rent?

So biased, He isnt an unknow equadorian he was kinda already in the prem. ONLY 29??? Quite old for a striker who relies on pace a lot. Need to post something that isn’t trying to argue for arguments sake you :D

How do you know what rent there paying?1) Struggled to make the first team or even the bench at times at Man U, despite only being 29 years of age and having played in the prem or the top leagues in europe for over 10 years.He’s made 20ish appearances this season for United already, we’re only just coming up to Christmas , not bad really considering how ‘injury prone’ he is.
2) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite costing them nigh on £100 grand a week in wages.100 Grand a week? We’ve you got this from? Most likely he is on a pay as he plays basis as he has struggled with injurys before. They can afford to pay more as it’s cost them nothing to buy him in the first place.
3) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite united going through a transition of losing quality players either through transfers, injuries or simply being past their sell by date..Losing quality players? They lost one through Ronaldo. Admittedly the best place in the world at the time but to say they are going through a transitional phase is rubbish, they are still 2nd? in the league only 3? points behind Chelsea.
4) Struggled to make the first 11 at Man U on a regular basis despite a young unknown Equadorian player from Wigan making more appearances for them than any other player in the squad.A young unknown Ecuadorian* player who United splashed out £15million for who plays a completely different position to own and in the position were they lost their only player.
5) When given the chance to play he looks like a third division player at best sqaundering chance after chance in the first 10 matches he played and looking 10 yards slower than he was 5 years ago..Of course he looks slower than he did in the past you donk. That’s what happens when you hit a certain age, you get slower not quicker. I’d have him at Wigan in a shot.
Suddenly he gets a hat trick against a team that wouldn’t hold its own in the scottish second division and its dave whelan said this, dave whelan said that.Yeh of course, he scored a hat trick when surrounded by mostly non first team members, crap that. O and btw Wolfsburg won the German league last year, they would beat about 80% of they clubs in our league and come 4th/5th overall.
Dave whelan was bang on, Owen was and is not worth the money he still attracts. He’s more interested in his horses than pulling a gut out for his team. :roll:He may well not be worth 100k but to be on a pay as you play basis he is more than worth the money and as I said before, I’d have at Wigan in shot. Owen or Scotland, let me think. Don’t even need to think about it tbh.
You don’t post much but you like an argument :D

29 too old for a striker? You utter plant pot!! Any footballer will tell you that 28-30 are their prime years. I’m not arguing for argument sake I’ve simply stated the facts and not pished my pants over Owens flippin hat trick.
