khay 8 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Newcastle could receive up to £100,000 per week in compensation during the period their striker Michael Owen is out with injury. Owen suffered a thigh strain during England's 1-0 win over Austria last Friday that will rule him out of action for about four weeks. The Football Association said its insurance policy would cover the costs. "It's not the FA who pay this money out, it's our insurers, if they deem it is fit to do so." said an FA spokesman. Newcastle were embroiled in a war of words with the FA over compensation during Owen's almost season-long absence after he sustained knee ligament damage during the 2006 World Cup. The Magpies eventually received £6m from the FA, world football governing body Fifa and their insurer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
