Haha, what a clueless decision. Oh well, it doesn't affect us on the pitch

Mixed feelings on this. Probably a smart choice marketing-wise. He was one of the most recognizable players of his era, so hey if that help us abroad thats good for me.

Guys it's fine. I've seen the brochure. He's charismatic. He's clean. He's fresh. Michael's got this.

What, was Diouf too busy?

Owen talking is like a robot instruction. So monotone and devoid of any life. Great Ambassador material

Unlikely to hear or see him while in his role so not bothered.

I thought he couldn't go down any further in my estimation, until he said that Jurassic Park was just 'alright'.

I remember on the eve of the CL final in 2011 and he wrote on his twitter if we win the final i'll have got the complete set of medals,thanks to Messi etc they stopped that happening.

The guy probably totalled about 60 mins of being on the pitch in 10-11.

Not arsed.

Jurgen Fucking Klopp is our manager. Every thread should get derailed to reaffirm this fact.

Pretty much. Plus it gives us chance to laugh at him some more.

Oh Ambassador Owen, with your personality you're really boring us!

vicgill · « **Reply #52 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:13:22 pm »

John Barnes is everything that Owen isn't, articulate, interesting, intelligent , and a great speaker, I was fortunate to meet him on several occasions, a really interesting man.

chrisfletcher · « **Reply #53 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:14:23 pm »

I'm trying to book him to visit the Syrian LFC Supporters Branch

wheresnemeth · « **Reply #54 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:14:30 pm »

Does this mean that Owen will be sitting in the background, on a bench with a pair of crutches while the real ambassador represents the club.

lindylou100 · « **Reply #55 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:17:09 pm »

Yuck, this gets on my pips a bit as this twat represents none of the values of Liverpool Football Club but like some others (looking at you Mcmanaman & Murphy) only uses it to further his own interests. My question is what does LFC get out of having this bell as an ambassador? it's not as if he'll light up the room with his sparkling conversation is it.

Yeah, stop trying to worm your way into someone else's club.

Well the board voted 5-2 in favour of him taking the role.

You don't need luck when you've got 71.4% of the population behind you.

Just modern day efficiency really... he can perform multiples roles at once and concurrently be global ambassador for Liverpool FC and Manchester United. Double bonus points. Maybe Real Madrid laso

masher · « **Reply #58 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:22:13 pm »

Probably the worst choice after Diouf. The club overlooked Rush, Kenny, Carra, Gerrard, Hyypia, God, Souness and many more to opt for this Judas. Someone needs to get sacked for this.

Zapata316 · « **Reply #59 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:22:28 pm »

Not too bothered, but a strange choice. Will he have a Liverpool-Man U half and half scarf?

Manc twat shouldn't be employed by the club. Do the people behind the scenes at LFC ever "get it"?

You don't get to call yourself a Liverpool fan when you fuck us off for Madrid, then fuck off to Man Utd

He could be a "Half 'n half" ambassador for Liverpool and ManU, just like the scarves they sell these days.

Ewwww.

Los back. Thanks. · « **Reply #63 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:35:26 pm »

Decisions at the top are beyond comprehension sometimes. Owen can do one. He's not likable in the very least.

Let it be. Why hold a grudge for so long?

He was a sensation in his time with us and you can sense when he's commentating, he still has a soft spot for us.

No problem with it at all. Some fans just take this football stuff too seriously. You would think he's a convicted rapist for fucks sake.

it's not grudge
its simple fact that he played for man united
that should disqualify anyone from being lfc ambassador
whatever he did for lfc in the psst doesn't matter

plus no he holds no soft spot.. he wouldn't have played for them if he had
bs
traitor

dmorgan · « **Reply #65 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:36:54 pm »

Personally don't understand the vitriol towards him...yeah he played for the scum but he was a youth player for us and helped us win some pretty big trophies. Ambivalent towards the appointment tbf

PhilV · « **Reply #66 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:37:48 pm »

Very strange move by the club, there are far better ex players to represent us.

Michael Owen is not only a fool as an individual (listening to him on BT is cringe worthy) but he also isn't a good representative of the club. It's not so much that he played for the Mancs for me, he is just not a good talker, he literally talks nonsense and we are appointing him as an ambassador to go out there and promote us.

Very poor from LFC to appoint him.

I could write a more elaborate and thought out post but ultimately this covers it...

Because they all applied for this role? Jesus Christ, get a grip!

I don't want this manc twat anywhere near our club

bazz · « **Reply #72 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:40:18 pm »

Livid at this!

Certainly no coincidence that this is announced the day after a big win against Everton so everyone is happy and won't react as badly, but it's unbelievable really that this guy has any association with this club since he moved to United.

cissesbeard · « **Reply #73 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:40:26 pm »

I think owen is a self serving slime ball. this might please some foreign investors or something but we've soooo many other ex players that we could have picked.
oh and that adebayor thing above is quality.

No overreaction there! Are Rushy and Fowler not already involved with this kind of thing? Kenny is a Director at some level isn't he? Gerrard is still playing and Souness would arguably be an even more divisive choice.

alfonso · « **Reply #75 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:46:00 pm »

Both him and McMoneyman are being paid by you - who buy the merchandise and go to the games.
What couldn't the fans have a vote? The club could have had say 5 candidates and we get to choose?

So I Sterling is in line for a job at the club when he retires then.

Honestly who cares? Club ambassadors basically do fuck all anyway.

Exactly. He will always be associated with the Club.

I couldn't tell you who any other official ambassadors are. I could take a guess but who really cares who it is?
