Hi ed001

Hope you are well.

I know that Owen tried to get a move back to Liverpool on at least 2 occasions. 2005 when we could not match Newcastle's bid which was more than double what we sold him for and in 2009 when he joined Utd (I assume his wages would have been too high for a back up to Torres though this is my assumption)

Question is would you have taken him back on either occasion? I could think of many reasons why not but would he have been an upgrade on Baros and Cisse in 05 and Ngog in 09?

{Ed001's Note - the club didn't want him back after he forced his way out and nor did I. He was a problem while at the club and the atmosphere within the team improved massively without the poison dwarf. I would never have him at the club in any capacity if it was up to me.}

Club ambassador! I wouldn't let him be ambassador of the car park. He's a little runt or other words. Sure he took the under age players to the cleaners in high stakes card games. He's a horrible person who should be let nowhere near the club because he's only interested in him and his horses with his best buddy Taggert. Phew rant over😁.

Stevie G stuck the boot into him
Yesterday was great to see!
Owen was a top player but burnt his bridges and i don’t know how he’s even a ambassador for the club!

Was he a bully Ed? Just wondered what sort of problems he caused? I know he is not well thought of by most liverpool fans and is move to united cemented that! Lol cheers.

{Ed001's Note - he would bully youth team players into playing high stake card games with him, which he could afford but they couldn't. He was also the reason Fowler was sold as he wanted to play alongside Heskey and didn't like being second fiddle in the fans' affections. He would constantly moan to Ged about it.}

Cheers Ed. Seems a really strange choice for a Club ambassador doesn't it. Surely the club listens to people's opinions on these things but maybe not I guess. Have a good day mate.

{Ed001's Note - he is a well known name, that is it. He is lucky to be anywhere near the club.}

Safe to say, Owen will not be getting a Christmas card from Ed01 anytime soon, I reckon.

{Ed001's Note - that is for sure. I loved him until I knew him, he makes Rodgers seem like the kind of friend you can trust to stand behind you with a knife in his hand.}

Do you know if mcmanaman or fowler forced moves or where they forced out? I think between 01-05 we could've won even more if them two stayed.

{Ed001's Note - McManaman told the club he wanted to go and refused any contracts. God was forced out.}

All you have to watch to know what sort of rat Owen is, is the Goalkeeping video Southhall did, which Owen took part in. I think Nev was about half a second away from beating him to death.

Macca went on a free. At the time I heard he kept promising to sign a new deal. Then it got to the final 6 months and he told the club he was off. No idea if true or not but the club suffered for a good while after.

John Zandt - that video is embarrassing to watch isn't it. Poor lad.

From my impression, and with the benefit of hindsight, it seemed like the culture amongst the younger players particularly in the 1990s was poor, and Fowler was certainly part of that too?

Is that video on YouTube lad's?

@BarryinLouth yes it is. You can search under 'well done he's 13' which us the line the video is most famous for.

Thanks for the insight Ed001. He was my favourite player when I as around 8-10 years old but I grew to dislike him.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

Ive never seen that video before but man what a ****er - glad Owen isn't coaching any of my kids - its all about him.

Owen is a very charasmatic pundit though. I love to hear him repeatedly telling us you have to go cold on front of goal when you have a chance.
Fat, boring person.

I chose Michael as my confirmation name after him and regretted it ever since.
