Phillips to be paid by SPORTT.

Phillips to be paid by SPORTT.
T&T Express Reports.


The process has begun to have the salary of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) technical director restored on a regular basis.

Lincoln Phillips had not been paid for five months after his TTFF contract ended, resulting in Football Federation special adviser Jack Warner and other officials pointing blame at Gary Hunt, the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs. Yesterday, however, the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SPORTT) issued a release which indicated that the process is being put in place to have the matter resolved.

SPORTT also sought to clarify a number of issues raised in an October 27 letter signed by TTFF general secretary Richard Groden in which it was stated that, from the outset, Phillips was hired as technical director by the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago on the recommendation of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation.

SPORTT totally refuted Groden's statement.

"Contrary to statements attributed to TTFF secretary Richard Groden, Lincoln Phillips was initially contracted by the TTFF and not the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago nor the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs for the period June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2007," SPORTT declared.

"A year into his contract with the TTFF, their management indicated that they could no longer pay Mr Phillips' salary and a request was made to the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago by the TTFF to cover the payment of Mr Phillips' salary for the balance of the contract period.

"The Sport Company obliged this request and additional financial disbursements were made to the TTFF to cover Mr Phillips' salary. Initially, payments were made directly to Mr Phillips and after three months, on the request of the TTFF, his payments were made through additional disbursements to the TTFF and the direct payments ceased."

In yesterday's release, SPORTT said in May 2007 the TTFF indicated that Phillips' contract was renewed for a period of one year from June 2, 2007 to June 2, 2008 and a request was made for the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago to disburse funding to cover the payment of his salary.

SPORTT reported that the request was met. Furthermore, the Sport Company said that by correspondence of September 30, 2008, the Sport Company, through its sport services manager, enquired of the status of Phillips' employment with the TTFF, since no new contract or request for funding had been forthcoming.

On October 3, the TTFF responded to this correspondence and indicated that Phillips was to be once again retained by the Football Federation for a period of one year from June 2, 2008-June 2, 2009.

On October 8, the Sport Company then requested a copy of Phillips' contract. A faxed copy was received by SPORTT on October 24. And now that the relevant document has been submitted, SPORTT said that all is in place to have Phillips' salary paid until June 2009.

"It should be noted that Mr Phillips' contract is with the TTFF and the Sport Company covers his salary payments though its disbursements to the TTFF for its development program," SPORTT declared. "Now that the TTFF has indicated in writing of its intention to retain Mr Phillips and has provided SPORTT with a copy of the contract outlining the financial terms of employment, the payment to Mr Phillips through the TTFF can proceed. This funding request is currently being processed by SPORTT."
The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Chee Ping: Sportt not to blame
...for Warriors money problem
By: Nigel Simon (Guardian).


Chairman of Sportt Chairman of the Sport Company of T&T (Sportt), Rhett Chee Ping, yesterday cleared his organisation of any blame over short payments to members of the Soca Warriors for playing in the last 13 international matches.

Chee Ping said his organisation was carrying out its duties based on information and figures submitted by the T&TFF and once it is confirmed the players are still being owed, Sportt will be ready to complete payments.

Last Thursday, a number of players went to Sportt to collect their cheques for matches played between July and December. However, the money collected was short of what they expected.

The players blamed the federation for submitting wrong information to the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs and Sportt without consulting them.

A source close to the situation said the players were trying to contact T&TFF Special Advisor Jack Warner to help resolve the situation. The source said Warner was the only person who could solve the problem as he was key to the decision making within the federation.

The players were even willing to go to Warner’s Ministry of Works and Transport head office on Richmond Street, Port-of-Spain to discuss the matter.

The source noted that once the local football federation made the necessary changes to the figures they submitted for the players who have already their initial payments, Sportt would be willing to fulfil the remaining commitments to the players in terms of payments.

Chee Ping, a former national swimmer and triathlete said the players need to discuss the situation with the T&TFF boss, Oliver Camps and not Warner. “The Sport Company can only go on the recommendation of the T&TFF so it is they who need to be held accountable for any miscalculations.”

Camps could not say much on the matter as the financial tabulations were handled by the Federation’s Accounting Department. “They (Accounts Department) have been closed for the entire week so I will not get anything resolved until next week,” Camps said.

According to the T&TFF boss, documentation for the payment to the technical staff was forwarded to Sportt on Christmas Eve and payments could take another two weeks.

Major concerns surround payments to the technical staff since questions as to whether or not they have signed contracts are being raised.

It is said that only coach Russell Latapy and manager, David Muhammad were issued written contracts by the T&TFF.

“Sportt wants to see the contracts for staff members and then the necessary documentation can be done to start paying their outstanding salaries.” Some members of the staff received $10,000 each in September 2009.

Sportt not properly structured
Saturday, May 14 2011
T&T Newsday Reports.


The Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Sportt) was not properly structured to fulfill their mandate. Sportt is now putting the necessary structure in place to enable them to administrate sport in Trinidad and Tobago.

“What is happening with the company is that it is settling itself up properly. For example there was no business development unit for the company and that is important for sport marketing,” said Ashwin Creed, acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport, during a sitting of the Joint Select Committee (Group 2) of the Parliament, at the Parliament Chamber, yesterday.

Sportt is now setting up their High Performance Unit as well as their corporate services which consists of human resources, finance, communications and information technology.

“On the facility side, we are now setting up facilities management and to provide the staff in there to deal with projects and engineering and so on.

The whole issue of sport development is being set up properly,” Creed said in response to a question from Joint Select Committee chairman, James Armstrong.

Sportt is patterned from the Australian model and Creed revealed that when the first board was appointed the members were expected to implement the recommendations of the Australian Sport Commission, but this did not happen.

He explained that the current board is attempting to implement the recommendations based on the current infrastructure, systems and procedures.

Currently, De Edge Management is assisting Sportt with their restructuring process.

The original mandate of Sportt was to examine national sporting organisations and sports programmes. This portfolio was expanded to oversee the construction and maintenance of sporting facilities and sporting programmes.

Creed said, “the structure still remains relevant with some minor adjustments because the mandate has changed.”

Chief Executive Officer of Sportt, Errol Ashby disclosed that the “rental policy” was being reviewed following recommendations from a consultant’s report.

He said, “what was in existence did not meet the requirements that the board felt was needed with the level of investment in stadia and other infrastructure and the level of investment the people of TT made in these facilities.”

Ashby stated there were some “hiccups and impediments” in moving forward but Sportt was getting as much done internally and through outsourcing.
The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Creed: SporTT not properly set up.
By Kern De Freitas (Express).


The Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT) is only now being suitably organised to fulfill its mandate, according to acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, Ashwin Creed.

Along with members of the SporTT executive, Creed appeared before a joint select committee (JSC) of Parliament at the Red House in Port of Spain on Friday to answer questions into the operations of the company.

Creed was responding to a question posed by JSC chairman James Armstrong to SporTT CEO Errol Ashby regarding the rental policy of SporTT. After Ashby explained that the Sport Company was currently being restructured, Creed supplemented the answer with a further explanation.

"When the company was set up, it was set up to look at national organisations and sports programmes," he explained.

"The company was subsequently given the mandate of overseeing the sports infrastructure construction, so that what is happening now with the company is the company is now setting up itself properly."

Creed added that SporTT was set up with no development unit, no human resources component, and no facility management department.

"The whole question of sport development is now being set up," he said.

He explained further that the mandate of SporTT—which is the implementation arm of the Ministry of Sport—has changed from developing the SporTT policies and working with national sporting organisations (NSOs) to include the construction and oversight of new sport facilities, as well as the upgrading of existing stadiums.

Sebastian Paddington, one of the SporTT directors, told the committee that SporTT is reviewing the projects in the pre-tender, tender, contracting and project management phases of previous projects.

SporTT has already gone through the tender process for the planned national aquatic, cycling and tennis centres in Mucurapo, Mount Hope and Tacarigua, respectively.

Said Paddington: "Our findings were that the procurement procedure was generally along the lines of transparency and accountability, and that has allowed us to continue the process towards the final round of interviews and negotiations. We look to continue where the previous administration left off in those projects."

Ashby reported that SporTT was operating within difficult conditions, having their initial budget of $100 million reduced by $40.2 million.

The Sport Company, he added, must meet the same demands with limited finances.
The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Lesson learned
Ashby hopes SPORTT can improve procedures
By Kern De Freitas.


The Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SPORTT) have accepted their share of the blame for last month's postponement of the 2011 Sagicor Open National Track and Field Championships, and CEO Errol Ashby says that event was a learning experience.

During a briefing on the status of the new Hasely Crawford track, the installation of which made the venue unavailable for the Championships, Ashby told the Express yesterday that bureaucratic red tape and subsequently rain, ruined any chance of the job finishing on time.

"What I can say that we can take blame for, is that we probably should have started a little sooner, but remember this is public procurement," said Ashby. "So sometimes you are ready to go, but the funds have to be released in a certain way, certain documents have to be submitted, so sometimes things weren't in our control."

Where SPORTT fell a bit short, Ashby said, was that the procurement process should have perhaps started a bit earlier to prevent the project's overlap into the rainy season.

With a little more cooperation from the weather, he said the project might have been completed on schedule. Originally earmarked to be concluded in mid-June, the laying of the track was set back by heavy rains, and was only completed this week.

Ashby described the Championships' postponement as "unfortunate", and said there "wasn't the communication" among SPORTT, the National Association for Athletics Administration (NAAA) and the Ministry of Sport.

"…A lot of misconceptions were fuelled because of misinformation and people saying 'ok, we're having our championships, can we have it, or can we have it not.' As an NSO (National Sporting Organisation), (the NAAA) should have had some contingency in place instead of pushing it back."

The Dwight Yorke Stadium, he said, was an alternative venue that could have been considered rather than postponing the event outright.

And Ashby said although it is a common thing to say a lesson has been learned, he is hoping that the operation of SPORTT and future relationships with the Ministry and other stakeholders will prevent such errors in the future.

The track installation—which includes removing the old surface, repairing the sub-base, pouring, installation, treatment, marking and certification—cost taxpayers a shade over $9 million.

And standing on the newly laid surface yesterday, Ashby was "more than pleased" at the finished product.

"I'm ecstatic," the former track athlete-turned lawyer said. "Why? Because this is the first of its kind in this region, this technology. We've gotten a good product, we've gotten value for money, because we paid a little over $9 million for supply and installation of this product."

Ashby said that the previous track lasted only a few years because it was not properly maintained, and this track which has a 15-year warranty and a life expectancy of 20 years must be given better care.

"What we have to do now is treat it properly and care for it, and maintain it as if it's a little child, and get as much out of it as possible as the money we spent for it… Moving forward we have to ensure we care for this track as if there is no more coming. This is it, it have nothing else to get. That's how we have to approach this track."

"The good thing about this track," Ashby added, "is that it is fit for this sort of climate. We can't fall back on the excuse that 'you know Mondo, temperate climate, it will deteriorate.' But a lot of what happened to the track has to do with we misused it. We didn't treat it and care for it they way we should have."

Ashby further said that during his tenure at SPORTT, he wants the Company to set standards in maintaining their facilities so that less money is wasted repairing facilities that become run down.

"When you come onto this track what are the dos and don'ts—from shoes and spikes to how you supposed to treat this. Because if we don't treat it like it's a scarce natural resource, it's going to be deteriorating in two to three years like the previous one."

SporTT has no money
By: Andrew Gioannetti (Guardian).


Several major sporting associations and local prominent athletes have voiced concerns that financial assistance previously offered by the Sport Company of T&T (SporTT) to their respective federations, have been withdrawn until the next financial cycle which begins in October.

When contacted by the Guardian yesterday, a source within the country’s top football league described the developments as “the Sport Company’s major financial bankruptcy” claiming that many clubs of major sporting disciplines, and their respective federations have been seriously affected by the financial drawbacks.

The source also said that many summer football camps in which SporTT has financed in past years have been suddenly cancelled. The T&T Pro League clubs which benefits from SporTT’s assistance with wage stipend for players includes W Connection, North East Stars, San Juan Jabloteh, Caledonia AIA and St Anns Rangers.

The National Super League has been similarly affected by the “exhaustion of funds” as described  by SporTT  in a letter to the heads of the T&T Pro League and the National Super League. Richard Piper,  National Super League Tournament Co-ordinator said that the league has been “drastically affected”.

According to Piper, SporTT has been unable to assist with expenses for the past two months and the league would have been unable to move on without the assistance of sponsors All Sport. “SporTT has not helped with the stipend for referees and were unable to assist in transport for the clubs travelling to and from Tobago,” said Piper.

Association of T&T (ASATT), there are claims that a meeting with the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs and SporTT and ASATT was called so that matters within the sports and funding can be discussed. At the meeting, the association was advised to cancel their upcoming Goodwill Swim Meet, an prominent annual swim meet which was scheduled to take place between August 12-14 at the Centre of Excellence Macoya, due to a lack of available funds.

The release acknowledges that the meet may be in crisis, as the association requires funding which was previously promised by SporTT.

Neal Marcano, chairman of the Local Goodwill Organising Committee expressed disappointment at the sudden turn of events, saying that he and his committee may require funding from external sources, to avoid the embarrassment.

“It is very unfortunate that the Government is unable to assist in funding this very important meet. We do hope to get the assistance of corporate T&T to host the event.” Jason Wickham, Public Relations Officer of the ASATT insisted that every effort will be made to allow the meet to continue.

“While it has been suggested that the meet be cancelled, our Association knows the importance of this development meet. Cancellation is an option but an absolute last resort,” said Wickham.
The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

You could talk some real dotishness at times yes!!

How yuh expect expats to run things when they living away in exile!
Also if they come home they still cyah run $hit because they cannot just walk into the TTFF office and ask Scamps & the lot to move aside! Plus LP an expat came home & what much could he do to change the status quo?!!

Scamps was voted back as TTFF President unopposed & unless he drops dead on the job or is forced to resign by the players bonus money case against the TTFF or because FIFA holds him responsible for what when down in T&T in May during his watch, there is not much that expats like yuhself can do other than mouth-off!

Other than that there are many capable folks at home right now who can do just as good a job as any expat but until Scamps can be forced out there is not much they can do other than to stand aside and not invest their hard earnt money into an unaccountable and murky organisation which is equivalent to throwing their money down the drain!

Ah boy. Wonderful. Simply wonderful.


Especially the fact those youth camps not happening real vexing to me.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians who acknowledge Jesus ;with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

Yuh know sometimes it is easier to comment when you're on the outside ..you have no idea what kind of roadblocks Ashby has incurred. I assure you the man is quite competent.

Maybe so, but somewhere along the line, Ashby comes up against Trinis with no clue! By expats, I assume Controversial means foreign nationals living in T&T such as Terry Fenwick? (I don't mean he thinks Fenwick should be involved, but used his name as an example)
