Odds on Owen’s Next Club
June 22, 2009 by Ben Filed under: Football
Paddy Power is offering 5/1 that Michael Owen plays for Hull City next season following confirmation he will leave relegated Newcastle this summer. Owen has reported that he wants to stay in the Premiership rather than going back to Spain. The Premiership is where he belongs.
Phil Brown’s public courting of Owen over the weekend has put Hull in as second favourites to sign Owen in Paddy Power’s betting behind 2/1 favourites Everton. Also in the running are Spurs at 6/1 with Man City and Aston Villa both at 7/1.
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Hull isn’t quite the destination Michael Owen’s advisors imagined when they sent out their glossy brochure but as they are the only club so far to have publicly expressed any serious interest they have to be a contender in the betting.”
