After much consideration, Michael Owen has gone from three years on Manchester United's bench to what he hopes is the resumption of his career as someone who actually plays football at Stoke. And now, he realizes that signing two contracts with Man United when they had no real need for him and listening to what Sir Alex Ferguson says was probably a bad idea.
Deep down he knew it wasn't true, just wanted to believe him
"But, in saying that, I was injured for most of that last year so it might not have mattered anyway.
But you won't hear me saying a bad word about my time at United — I had a great time."
No problem here
All Managers are a bit overrated. Anybody can pick a starting squad.
How many goals & assists does Ferguson have this year..or last..or the year before ?
NONE....He gets paid millions to watch the game from the bench.
At that level the players already know what they need to do so his and every position like his ( manager ) is greatly overrated.
I mean there is a bit more to it, but it's not hard to look at a premiership team...take 5 min ...and pick the lineup.
