rene accent!

[tonynorton]

Does anyone think our new boss has a slighty awesome but very weird accent??

[Jamie88]

Just sounds a bit Dutch to me!

[JBH]

Sort of Dutchmancurian  xma1

[westcliff white]

Exactly JBH he has tinged of manc in there

[Holders]

Yes, he sounds more Northern than Dutch to me.

[Luffy86]

Love his voice!! He's so calming and talks a lot of truth and sense!!

[sipwell]

Watched him on MOTD2 yesterday. His accent is by no means Dutch. That was the first Mrs. Sipwell and myself said to one another: "He's Dutch! Where did he learn to speak like a non-Dutchie????"

[premFlem]

Defo a dutch manc ,who could forget steve mclarens pseudo dutch accent after just a few months of living there. or norwegian Jan molbys scouse accent at liverpool.

The most curious accent I have come across is the CEO of our company. I work for a large-ish US tech company that is headed up by a Brit who has been out there for c15 years. He was born in Birmingham, and so the accent is a strange mix of English, Brummie and American.

He is also a massive Villa supporter, so I think in the interests of career longevity I will not gloat too much  :dft011:

I like to do impresssions of our managers. Woy and Jol were very easy but Rene... well, that's a challenge. I think that you have to start with a Dutch accent and then override it with the odd bit of Manc! Unlike so many managers, esp. AVB, Rene is easy listening.

The most curious accent in the world is Owen Hargreaves. During the course of a sentence he can go through all three of his accents (Canadian, German, English), it is just baffling to listen to

Total agree and its also baffling how Hargreaves ever got to where an England shirt!

Watching the after match interviews on MotD last night, I was most amused to note that the 'foreign' manager, despite his interesting Mansterdam accent, was articulate and enlightening, wheras the 'Brit' was all but incomprehensible.

If he can put on an England shirt, then so can Adnan Januzaj

[MikeCdawg]

Didi Hamaan's German/Scouse accent is hilarious

, wheras the 'Brit' was all but incomprehensible.

I have never understood what he said. He looks like he plays a game where he does not move his lips when he talks. He merely opens his mouth...

[cmg]

Jan Molby still sounds as if he comes from the Knotty Ash area of Copenhagen.

[Black, White and Fred]

Did you hear Klinsmann after the world cup draw? So much yank in his accent, how long has he even been there?

[Huxley]

At least now I don't  have to turn the volume of youtube and also my laptop volume to full, and still press by against the speaker to try to hear/understand Jol!

Best part of 15 years, I think.
