Souness Out!

[Grabbi Graeme]

SSN reports that Owen has also had talks with Liverpool as well, and given the choice I cant see Owen turning down Liverpool and champions league for Newcastle with no europe football and a season fight to get in the top half of table.

[thenodrog]

If Owen knocks em back it could be the final nail in Souness's coffin.

[Ste B]

Owen has agreed a 4 year deal with Newcastle.

[thenodrog]

How the mighty fall eh?

[RevidgeBlue]

Let's see if Souness can get a team with Parker, Shearer and Owen in it relegated.

[Tango]

That brings Souness' spending to a whopping £44m in under a year

[promoted2001]

Wow thats one heck of a coup for souness! A bit of a fall from grace for owen though!

[Scotty]

Fantastic signing for Newcastle and very bad news for us given that we face them soon.

[John]

Must have been Dean Saunders presence at talks yesterday that swung it for him.

Souness always was a persuasive force when it came to transfers.

[Presty On Tour]

owen hasn't signed on the dotted line yet though has he??

[G Somerset Rover]

As Scotty just said this is very bad news with us to face them soon. Notlob away (always a bleddy hard game) and an Owen inspired Newcastle doesn't sound good. I saw some stats the other day and hes only banged in more against one other club during his time with the scousers.

[Wolverine]

It would appear he has, subject to medical...

Owen a geordie...

[Bobby G]

Big boost for them, but I see their problems to be more than just something you can solve by throwing money to get in 2 strikers.

Big big fall from grace for Owen though. Im sure Liverpools offer was not acceptable or they really didnt want him.

It was a choice between Newcastle or being outcast at Real.

Im almost certain he will have some sort of clause in his deal and his heart really isnt in this move!

[krislu]

With the current group of players Newcastle should really be aming at a Champions League spot this season, I wouldn't be suprised if Souness might have just dug his own grave signing Owen.

If they don't get some good results in their coming three matches, then Souness is history..

[Bobby G]

I would love it if we bury the hatchet with Souey at Ewood on the 18th with Bellamy hitting the nail on the coffin of Newcastle.

Oh how sweet would that be...

Its about time, we beat them again I think.

The way things go with us, ending other teams losing streaks and goal droughts, it seems more likely to go the other way. With Newcastle not having scored or won away it's in the stars they will get their first goals and victory with of course Michael Owen smashing home the winner. Or perhaps an Owen hat trick.

[Seggie]

The Geordies have a good sense of humour still at least

[Exiled in Toronto]

Maybe Owen will keep him in the job a while longer. But the thought of Deano coaching Owen brings a smile....

[Jan]

Much the same thought occurred to me about Deano and Shearer.

[Grabbi Graeme]

Owen is a class player , but Souey will soon change that also on the day they make a big signing they then sell Jenas to Spurs.

[92er]

The signing must lower the odds they will score against us and maybe get their first win.

[SuperStella]

I see the best fans in the world have turned up to welcome their new hero. Pity that many did'nt turn up to watch the f**kers play in the early nineties......

[paddyk]

its been updated now

[roversWASmylife]

You lot were chanting his name yesterday.

Few games ago, you were wanting him out.

Strange.

[paddyk]

naa the board have been at the brunt of the unrest, but fatfred has pulled it out the hat this time, 95% of toon fans want souness to stay, its just the media manage to find the 5%
