Seattle Sounders co-owner Roth feels there is scope for further improvement
Joe Roth believes that the Seattle Sounders still have plenty of scope for improvement under head coach Sigi Schmid.
The American film executive, director and producer is the majority owner of the Sounders and feels that they can progress from the Western Conference semi-final finish of 2011.
“We get better every year. And I can tell this year that we have the depth to get better. I still feel we have the best midfield in the league as it is.”"(Schmid)is actually a very methodical coach. He’s really good,” Roth said.
Roth also said he was not frustrated that the franchise had yet to win a league title as he believes the team will be fighting in the play-offs consistently especially if Steve Zakuani can overcome injury.
“No. We do get better. It’s hard to complain,” he added. “I don’t like the playoff system much and never have. … I think we’ll have a good run this year. I do. I like our depth. So much depends to me as an owner on how effective (Steve) Zakuani can be and how quickly he can come back.”
