紐卡斯爾聯隊主席謝潑德（Freddy Shepherd）打算採取法律行動來處理歐文受傷的問題，日前有傳聞説英格蘭足總為魯尼在世界盃參賽自掏腰包，為他投了保險，但是對其他球員則沒有此項特殊待遇，對此謝潑德非常不滿，他認為每一名球員都應該被公平對待，為了挽回俱樂部損失，他正在考慮將英足總告上法庭。

　　Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd is contemplating taking legal action against the FA to ensure his club is properly compensated for Michael Owen's injury.

　　Shepherd was furious at rumours the FA had taken out additional insurance against any injuries sustained by Wayne Rooney at the finals, arguing that all players and their clubs should be given the same treatment. The Magpies' chief claimed to have been informed by a reliable source that Rooney's special deal covered a transfer value of ￡30m and future career earnings.
