Then they need to cut their losses and sell Micheal Owen.
They could get 30-50 million USD off him depending on who buys.
Even selling within the EPL would be ok since it will be years before Newcastle becomes good again.
Then they need to focus on good young English talent and scout the four corners of the Earth for young foreign players that can be had for cheap.

The Owen sell would help pay down the teams debt and hopefully get them in decent shape again.

Chairmans already said he would sell but nobody as come in for them, he want's to sell to someone in the Newcastle area and not to say an example being an American or Asian buyer. I understand where he's coming from as although Whelan our Chairman is loaded he does at least understand the Latics fans with being from the area and having been a professional footballer.
