If he really wanted to join Liverpool, he could have waited. Even
if Real Madrid agree a transfer fee with Newcastle, he could have

That's true also !
He moved because he wanted to be assured of a place in the England
squad. That is always his first priority. In fact, that is also why
some Pool fans don't have too much affection for him.
True enough , World Cup ambition
.
But I agree that the management screwed up by allowing Owen to
delay signing his contract in the first place.
Disagree , the management offered ,
M.Owen dun want to sign , the management also cannot do anything .
In this case , the ball has always been in Owen's court
.
