Maturana real f**k us over with this one...
He was always gonna go after that USA game... and this would have helped the team and the new coach massively...
at least 3 competitive games...
at least 2 weeks of bonding and building team chemistry at an event...
A chance to bring in defenders to play and train eg Julias James, Sancho, N.Daniel and Y.Marshall along with the usual defenders( Carlos RB...Dog,Lawrence,K.Thomas...Avery LB)
Unless we go on a 3 game tour somewhere in Europe, missing the Gold Cup is catastrophic
Get to work Jack... call Ghana or Nigeria and 2 European nations and let us play some football now
Smallmag, doh work up yuh self over these ppl nah dread, ah hear from good sources that jack gave up on this campaign since last yr, and he might be looking tuh ride out from our football and get into the politics full time. seriously what i heard.
the person who told me said they heard that jack didn't want tuh put another cent of his money into this campaign so he abandon ship (this SA2010 WC campaign), that's why he brought in latas and not ah big name coach to salvage the campaign, in other words , jack realize he doh have no paper tuh get from this so he dun!! sad but true. positive.
PS:the main reason for this is that hunt and manning want transparency for every dime, and he doh have the freedom tuh spend like when boynes was the sports minister, so he not wid it.
JCool: I am inclined to believe this.
For the longest while now I've realized that Jack is not his usual self when it comes to the National Team. For instance, last campaign Jack kept saying ". . .mark my words, we are going to qualify. . ." even when it looked like it was all but loss. This rounds we are not hearing the same type of faith in the team nor are we hearing from him much at all.
But it will be great if he decides to leave T&T football alone. I think we could afford to ride this campaign out, and regroup for 2014. But we'd better start NOW.
Yeh..... it would be great if new young brilliant energetic minds fully took over with no remnants of the old regime!
but yuh have tuh remember olie camps would still be in the picture if jack alone bounced, and if yuh think jack bad, wait till olie fully take over! olie camps is ah real ded horse! he doh have the kind of connections like jack, and he's just as much of ah dictator, but with absolutly nothing to offer!
i rather jack stay on and ruin we football, than tuh have ah bumbling idot like camps fully in charge! now that would spell the end for T&T football as we know it. we'll be right back where we started, kicking ball in front the grand stands for
and ah red solo with hops and cheese.
