Michael Owen's future at Newcastle United is in fresh doubt following Kevin Keegan's return yesterday.
The striker hit out at Keegan's disastrous reign as England boss and said at the time: "He seemed the complete package.
"But if it was for some players, it wasn't for me. I assume the manager had conveyed to his staff what he thought of me and plainly it wasn't complimentary.
"I felt I was being singled out, he needed a scapegoat. As soon as he said one negative thing about me it became a habit.
"I used to go into games believing the opposition was scared of me. That belief evaporated at times under Keegan."
