Sun News paper Lampoons New England Manager.
 

The F.A. have lodged a complaint against the Sun Newspaper for mocking new England Manager - Roy Hodgson over the way he talks.


FA criticise 'unacceptable' Sun front page on Roy Hodgson's England job | Football | guardian.co.uk

I find it disgraceful that the guy hasn't even started yet and they are mocking him already. Surely this will undermine the countries chances if these clowns at the Sun carry on undermining the new England football manager.

Note: should anyone think this should be in the sports forum. The subject is not sport but the attitude of the gutter press to someone's speech mannerisms. :rolleyes:

The Sun= the Murdochs, just about says it all really.

Firstly using the word "News" in conjunction with The Sun is a misnomer & while not exactly the best of headlines, Remember the "Turnip" ? What has Roy Hodgson said about the subject ?

BBC News - Roy Hodgson headline in Sun 'unacceptable' FA says

taken from the above article

The story, referencing Mr Hodgson's pronunciation of the letter R, has led to more than 100 complaints to the Press Complaints Commission.

Led by the FA.

The reason I've highlighted this is to reaffirm the points I made in the thread below:-

The England manager is an ambassador for the Country, could they not find someone who can speak properly?

As for the paper being wrong for its comments, it will happen all the time as it does with Wossy and others. Bring back Spitting Image and dump all this PC nonsense :D

Can Dump it fer me.

Say that in 2 months when England have lost again and they can take the mickey out of him then. :rolleyes:

I thought a big saying up north was "If you'be got nothing good to say, say nothing at all!" lol :D

Also if he's supposed to be an ambassador for UK then why have they had 2 foreigners previously?

Re: Sun News paper Lampoons New England Manager.
 

Good question, why have they?

Re: Sun News paper Lampoons New England Manager.
 

Obviously to represent all the foreigners that now play here:rolleyes:

Re: Sun News paper Lampoons New England Manager.
 

So you don't consider that a chap with a speech impediment is a fit person to represent the country?
Perhaps you have forgotten King George VI - there has even been a recent film centred around his speech impediment.

Do people still read the sun?

its the british way, within 30 mins of his appointment I had jokes appearing on my Facebook feed taking the pee.. we've always done it, I'm with the camp that says chuck away the pC nonsense...

As a kid I was taunted mercilessly because my mum couldn't afford to by me named jumpers etc, I even had a home knitted one for a while. it didn;t bother me and if anything taught me a valuable lesson in life, dont worry too much about not being in the clique, its rarely a place thats nice to be.

Re: Sun News paper Lampoons New England Manager.
 

If you didn't have a named jumper I doubt that you would be considered for a clique, so how do you know?;)
