Roy Hodgson makes ill-judged comment about Wayne Rooney's Scouse accent

Roy Hodgson has risked upsetting Merseyside by making an ill-judged comment about Wayne Rooney’s Scouse accent.

The England manager, no stranger to controversial remarks, suggested that Rooney would not be able to stand up and lecture a room full of people because of his ‘Liverpool accent’.

When asked what Rooney was like as an orator, Hodgson said: ‘Oratory is a much over-exaggerated quality. There are some people I think are very eloquent who don’t get messages across well and others who I don’t think you would regard as orators who get their message across very well.

England manager Hodgson suggested Rooney would not be able to stand up and lecture a room of people

‘Everyone knows Wayne is not the sort of person, with his Liverpool accent, who is going to be able to stand up in front of a lecture room of people.

'But he doesn’t need to. All he has to do is make certain the players he is talking to understand where he is coming from.’

They're defending him to the hilt on Sunday Supplement & saying Studge should be with Ingerlund now. Forgot how much I hate that programme - quickly turned over.

Unebelievable

"Everyone knows Wayne is not the sort of person, with his Liverpool accent, who is going to be able to stand up in front of a lecture room of people," Hodgson said.

"But he doesn't need to. All he has to do is make certain the players he is talking to understand where he is coming from.

They won't do it maybe quite as eloquently as someone like myself could, but that doesn't matter."

Astounding. This guy is an absolute fool.

[RichC]

At some point someone has to just tell him to "stop talking" almost every time he speaks something incredibly stupid is said.

[Roboklopp]

Nope, the judgement panel of Sunday Supplement were actually saying they felt sorry for the Bodge for the reaction to this.

Please tell me you made this up?

Surely someone close to Roy (family, England staff/board) has got to speak to him about the stuff he comes out with in interviews, he's like a real David Brent but 20x worse.

Would be great if someone released a book with all of these type of quotes.

[RichC]

Surely the bottom line is he says this ridiculous things and therefore if he gets pulled up on it then it's nobodies fault but his own; let's be honest it's such a regular occurrence that it can't be anything but his inability to say things he shouldn't.

I thought the final sentence was made up when I saw it aswell but sadly it's not. Someone at the FA desperately needs to sort him out but they are as inept and as arrogant as he is, a perfect match in that respect.

[Roboklopp]

No, the bottom line is he's a total charlatan but gets away with it cos the press give him a free pass- probably cos he's always quick to give a soundbite amongst other things.

That's not to say that I disagree with you as to what the bottom line should be though.

...And then there is you Roy, an insufferable old windbag. He has to be one of the worlds great bores. He talks as if he is some top lecturer in the subtleties and nuances of the English language. He is just a tiresome old fool with a self inflated opiniong of himself.
