Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear has hinted they'll table
Michael Owen an improved contract offer at the end of the
season.

“It will be tough to tilt things back in the club’s favour but
nevertheless, we can only do the best we possibly can and Michael
Owen will see that,” said Kinnear after the club-record signing put
off a decision on a deal that would involve a £25,000-per-week wage
cut.
“He will listen to lots of offers at the end of the season and
maybe there is a chance that he won’t sign. But then maybe we can
come in with a big offer.”
