I have a vivid memory of Michael Owen sitting on the bench as an unused sub, in an away leg Champions league qualifier in 2004. He couldn’t/ wasn’t to be used so that he wouldn’t be cup tied for real Madrid’s campaign in the same competition as his transfer was being conducted simultaneously.

Fast forward 9 months and the unbelievable happened with a team that has a fraction of the ability we have now.

It would be poetic justice if lightening was to strike twice here with Coutinho- I bet when Michael is counting his money, he would wish he could have been part of Istanbul. But Countinho does not have that heart- no concern for weakening us mid year- just the here and now for him.

I was also gutted but when you look at the options available to him at the time I think it was west Brom or utd. He made the best decision for him and his career.

You also need to look into what happened when he went to Madrid. The deal was in place for us to bring him back but when Newcastle offered a huge fee Madrid were never going to accept what they paid for him.

These are his own words. I think sky did a documentary on him where he explained everything. It changed my mind about him and you can understand the reasons even though part of me is still gutted about the utd thing.

{Ed001's Note - his words were the usual bull that comes from the little gutter rat.}

Michael Owen “was” involved that night in Istanbul he was in the little tv studio box, seeing his face at the end was almost as good as seeing Gerrard lift the cup. Sorry if I’m bitter (not sorry)

Owen is a little runt. Just my opinion.

Couldn’t care less I’m afraid. Yes he was a top striker, and played a part for us through some good times. The leaving to RM for titles and trophies I can accept, going to Newcastle I don’t mind, we didn’t want him, fair enough, but the second he put that Utd shirt on he was completely dead to me. I don’t care what he says about best options at time etc. Any person, player, coach manager whatever that had even the slightest shred of love for our club would never ever do that. It literally makes me angry talking about it. How he has a role with LFC is beyond a joke. Now I’m not a typical tribal footy supporter. I have a healthy respect for Utd as the other great British team aside from ourselves. I. e. got where they are through means other than just rich owners, but any of our players that puts that shirt on does not have our club in their heart, so neither should they be in ours, and I’m sure Utd supporters would say the same if the scenario was reversed.

{Ed025's Note - only the bitter ones westwood..

Owen was/ is a disgraceful human being. Arrogant and wrongly assumed he was bigger than the club. Great goal scorer in his prime but a team player he was not.
