But you will sell a book in abundance if you create an outcry by attacking all and sundry. And not only that...you create a new potential book based on that aftermath of the first book.

Pretty clever in a way.

However, there's always two sides to every story for the unbiased.
There is only one side for the biased.

Many of us will naturally go against anything and everything Owen says if it attacks what is dear to us...naturally. It goes without saying.
However, from his side there will be a portion of fans and people who will weigh up the story against the backlash, etc.

It makes no odds to me because I have no likeable time for Michael Owen. I genuinely do think he is a mercenary and a smug git with a higher than thou attitude.
Who is the target audience though?

I don't think anyone will buy it. Dull stories from a player no club he has ever played for has fond memories of.
