.He`s over the hill..........but just imagine going to that first game and seeing owen walking out looking sexy in the blue and white. I`ll await the facepalm and get my coat.
I agree it's very unlikely - but, there MIGHT be one posssible reason. Mnay footballers, as well as loving the money, love playing football, and the more intelligent ones realise that one day they ain't gonna be playing any more. If Michael Owen realises he's not going to be able to play in the Prem any longer (he's not getting any quicker!), he MIGHT just decide that another couple of seasons at a lower level is better than just stopping playing. £6.5K a week isn't going to kill him - I'm sure he could rub along on that.
Having said that, I still don't think it's very likely he'll come down here.
when he could sit on his arse and earn 4 times as much in interest alone.......
I take it you're just fishing?Are people still thinking this is just a silly rumour. This is seriously on the cards. If Owen leaves Manure then there is a massive chance of seeing him in the stripes next season. Owen wants it, Bloom wants it. Question is....does Gus??
Because some idiots keep lumping on. Fool and his money, eh.
Official update:
I've been told by my sanity that you're all fuckwits.
I take it you're just fishing?
Tony (feeling incredibly smug at coup of the century) 'So Gus, we're moving into the Championship without a proven goalscorer at that level - how would you like Michael Owen, 4th highest goalscorer of all time?'
(waits for overjoyed Gus to dance)
Gus 'Well ees complicated. Michael has never played in the Championship'
We have a lovely new stadium that must be quite attractive to some Championship level players, but not to people any where near Owen's ability. It's bad enough that some of you think there's any truth in this joke of a rumour, but that some of you have actually put money on it - oh dear.
I'd be fine with that, I'd even put it in my signature. It's not something I'll ever regret saying. It's like me saying you're an idiot if you think I've got the winning lottery ticket.As much as I think it's still a very long shot indeed, wouldn't it be funny if it happened, and then smug posts like this could be bounced in finitum.

"The only reason Michael Owen will be coming to Brighton is if he's looking after my racehorses". - Tony Bloom. (Quote I've heard)
And for the odds to be this short and to have stayed this short for a couple of weeks now can't just be explained by a few loons lumping on because they read something on here.
12/1 for him to go to Villa could be worth a cheeky fiver.
