Yesterday, under the banner headline "Why Whites won't take Michael", the Bolton News made sure that their readers were not under the impression that Bolton were, or ever had been, in the market for Michael Owen, after his infamous brochure was sent out to some Premier League clubs. Whilst we have to ignore the rhetorical question "Is he really that desperate that the brochure would have been sent first class to Burnden Way?" the article goes on to state that it is "believed" (therefore no one has confirmed it (or more likely never even mentioned it), goes on to talk about what is in the brochure that MAY HAVE come through the letterbox, wonders whether the Ginger Special one considered looking at him (not that we can say that he ever got the brochure) mentions that he has worked hard to trim the wage bill so wouldn't be able to afford to pay the affable scouser the money that he wants and then comes to the conclusion that he will probably file the brochure under "U for unlikely", although we cannot say for certain that his filing cabinet has a U in it and even if it has that the club got the brochure. So, within the space of an article they have gone from may have got the brochure to definitely got it and I used 90 seconds of my life reading it that I will never get back.
Also at the News, and coming in at No. 1 in our play on words summer tournament they liken a couple of summer targets to "The Professionals", Ferrie Bodde and Kevin Doyle. Bodie and Doyle!! Oh stop it.
Michael Ricketts watch this week sees Leeds United's one time fifth choice striker taking up table tennis on the Cayman Islands.
