Wayne Rooney shouldn't lecture a room full of people because of his accent - Roy Hodgson

England Boss Hodgson risked the wrath of Merseyside by making comment on Wayne Rooney's Scouse accent. Asked what Rooney was like as an orator, Hodgson replied: 

"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 well. 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."

Hodgson is quite known for gaffes like this.
