Cronky Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 PR move to get Owen onside. This. Yep. There was all this talk about a rift between Owen and Keegan, dating from KK's England manager days. Keegan wanted to make a public statement that there was no problem between them. It was a bad move because Owen seems too quietly spoken as a personality and he doesn't lead from the front. There's always a bit of a problem having a striker as a captain because they tend to be involved intermittently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 But does it really matter who wears the arm band? If there was a natural captain on the field then their personality would bring them to the fore. John Terry would appear to be the captain for Chelsea no matter who wears the arm band because he comes across as their natural leader. You shouldnt have to have 1 player to look to for inspration or to lead... you should inspire and motivate each other. For me, the armband wearer just leads the team out and just just a kind of PR exercise. Michael Owen, being our most world-widely known player fits that bill perfectly.

Robster Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Never heard the guy speak but I would guess the language barrier rules him out of candidacy of being captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
