A petition calling for Michael Owen to be removed from his position as Liverpool club ambassador has received more than 7,000 signatures after he referred to Manchester United as 'we'.
Liverpool supporters started the petition in reaction to Owen's punditry on BT Sport's coverage of the Europa League final on Wednesday night.
During the broadcast of the match, which United won 2-0 against Ajax, Owen referred to Jose Mourinho's side as 'we' despite his role with the Anfield club.
'Michael Owen has been a disgrace towards his position as Liverpool's International Ambassador and he must be stripped from the position immediately,' reads the Change.org petition.
'Michael Owen openly supports rivals and shows zero respect to Liverpool, until it suits him.

It is about pushing the train, not jumping on a running train.’ That is what we need here. It’s not allowed to take the history in the backpack

Yes I think Owen is a poor choice of Ambassador for the club BUT the timing of this petition (even after what he said on BT Sport) is poor! Some may twist his meaning and think this petition is sour grapes and/or disrespectful?

Owen is not the best choice for an ambassador, he doesn't have the most charismatic personality, but I don't understand the point of this petition. It's stupid, just makes Liverpool fans look stupid and overly emotional. When he said "we", I'm assuming he was referring to the time he played at United, nothing wrong with that.

Not sure why some are so bothered with what he said.

Owen was a fantastic player for us he is a worthy ambassador he also in the later stages if his career played for Manchester United due to probably the greatest manager ever Alex Ferguson rating him highly see point one. Whoever did this petition needs to grow up

I don't agree with the petition, as Liverpool knew who they were hiring as an ambassador, but I do think it's a strange choice for ambassador, the way he let his contract run down and forced us to sell him cheap, then he joins our arch rivals Man Utd and he always seemed more focused on playing for England rather than us.
I think he was just here at the wrong time, Fowler was his big rival and the fans loved him as one of them, so he was never going to compete with that.
With the greats we have in our history, they didn't need Owen. What do these club ambassadors do anyways? is it the pre/post game meet an ex-player on the corporate do's bit?
