Seattle Sounders owner Roth slams Man Utd legend "Sir Alex Whatever-His-Name-Is"
Seattle Sounders owner Joe Roth has ATTACKED Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Roth revealed that Ferguson broke a “gentleman’s agreement” by subbing in star forward Wayne Rooney at halftime of their friendly earlier this year.
The Seattle Post says calling him "Sir Alex Whatever-His-Name-Is," Roth said the agreement was to play starters in the first half and reserves in the second half. After halftime, United instead substituted in superstar forward Wayne Rooney, who scored three of the visitors' six goals in the second half.

Jesus is this guy for real he is a classic retard...he can't even suck my d*&k my two bad boys in his narrow ignorant ass#
***** you, how dear you call SAF. you a prink, suck my balls x
Who does this guy think he is? Joe Roth's not exactly well known in football circles himself, but he has the cheek to refer to one of the best managers of all time as Sir Alex Whatever-his-name-is?! Ignorant fool!!
Besides.. I would've thought he'd have been more than happy to have the likes of Wayne Rooney playing. If Rooney didn't play, he'd have had a lot of disappointed Sounders fans.
