Title: Warner: He's on trial run.

Warner: He's on trial run.
By: Ian Prescott (Express).


Russell Latapy's stint as Trinidad and Tobago head coach could very well end in a week if he fails to get immediate results.

Forty-year-old Latapy was appointed on Wednesday following the resignation of Colombian Francisco Maturana and the former Porto and Boavista midfielder will have his first two matches in charge two months away as T&T continue their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

First, the Soca Warriors host Costa Rica on June 6 and are then away to Mexico on June 10.

Yesterday, Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) special adviser Jack Warner gave a mixed reaction to Latapy's appointment.

"You can never have total confidence," Warner said. "What you can have is hope and you have to have commitment. At the end of the day, Latapy should know more about these players than anybody else because he has lived with them and so on. And it is our belief that we should give him a trial run, so to speak, that is why it is an interim appointment."

Warner indicated that the "Little Magician" will have just a few matches to make his mark as head coach before a new appointment is made.

The FIFA vice-president made the remarks yesterday at a b-mobile-sponsored sporting symposium at Cascadia Hotel, where he was the feature speaker.

"I am very optimistic that he shall do well. We shall take it from match to match and see what happens," Warner declared. "We have told Latapy that he has whatever technical assistance that he needs. He has whatever players he needs and if as he goes along, if he feels he needs help he will get it. If he feels he needs the help of the Jabloteh coach, we will do that. Latapy must decide that from his own judgement."

With just two points from three matches, Trinidad and Tobago are bottom of the six teams in CONCACAF'S World Cup qualifying series.

Under Maturana, the Soca Warriors drew with El Salvador (2-2) and Honduras (1-1) and suffered a 3-0 defeat to the United States last week.

But Warner believes there is still a lot of time to get T&T into a better position.

"We are 100 per cent better off than we were four years ago. Four years ago, we had one point, now we have two points, and therefore I have no reason to lose faith or lose hope."

Warner also felt it was the right time to change coaches. And he dismissed the idea that Latapy's presence on the technical staff as assistant coach-player since January might have undermined Maturana and inevitably led to the Colombian's resignation.

"We struggled to play against Bermuda, remember, that is a team we beat every Monday morning. We went for the Gold Cup and didn't qualify, remember, for the first time in many years. Latapy was not around in those days. So therefore to bring Latapy and talk about intimidation was not fair to either Latapy or Mr Maturana.

"I can only say what he (Maturana) told us at the meeting yesterday (Wednesday) and it amounted to a technical disconnect between him and the players, and he felt that staying with them longer would serve no useful purpose.

"He did say that we have to try and heal the division within the team because that division mitigates against a unified team. And he was telling us there is a division between the locally-based players and the overseas-based players, and the locally-based players feel threatened when the overseas-based players come. And therefore we have to find ways and means to heal it," Warner concluded.

This is a serious issue and one my brother indicated a long time ago.  This has to be resolved.  Chemistry is something we must have and Latas must find a way for both the foreign and local players to co-exist.  If there is no chemistry, we eh going no way because we just not physically good enough to win on talent alone.

I haven't said anything on the subject up until now so here are my thoughts:

1) Latapy's coaching resume seems a little thin to be given the huge responsibility of coaching the National Team, especially as we are already behind the 8-ball with regards to our qualifying.

2) How is Latapy going to function with Warner's threat to fire him if he doesn't produce immediate results? He seems to be able to handle the pressure. However from the standpoint of the team, would he be able to take the necessary steps to assess the strengths and weaknesses of our current crop of players given the time pressure he is under?

3) Even if we fail to qualify for next year's tournament, I hope that Latapy can encourage Jack Warner and the other powers that be that the way forward for our football is increased private support in the form of sponsorship of our club teams and improved training facilities at our local grounds. This last point is especially important as it would help our local-based players to develop further.

4) Related to the last point, Latapy has to do whatever he can to impress upon the powers that be the importance of playing friendlies against ESTABLISHED international opposition. Playing against a club teams will only take us so far. Jack has enough clout in international football to make that happen. Look how he manage to arrange for England play us at the HCS. Love him or hate him de man have status in world football and he should be using that to help out our team as much as he can.

So that's all I have to say on Latapy's appointment.

As usual Mr. Warner's utterings have left me totally confused.....

At the end of the day, Latapy should know more about these players than anybody else because he has lived with them and so on. And it is our belief that we should give him a trial run, so to speak, that is why it is an interim appointment."

Eh??  You pick ah coach yuh eh have total confidence in Mr. Warner??  Yuh have hope??  Yuh name Obama??

Warner indicated that the "Little Magician" will have just a few matches to make his mark as head coach before a new appointment is made.

"I am very optimistic that he shall do well. We shall take it from match to match and see what happens," Warner declared. "We have told Latapy that he has whatever technical assistance that he needs.

"We are 100 per cent better off than we were four years ago. Four years ago, we had one point, now we have two points, and therefore I have no reason to lose faith or lose hope."

Which matches??  The Costa Rica and Mexico matches??  If we eh get de desired results it's all over Mr. Warner.   You of all people should know that your cash cow goh dry up if we eh get de desired result....
And on de Jabloteh coach thing, you really feel you could fool people with yuh forked tongue yes.  Why yuh just didn't hire Fenwick and done if he could be sooooooo helpful....steups


"We struggled to play against Bermuda, remember, that is a team we beat every Monday morning. We went for the Gold Cup and didn't qualify, remember, for the first time in many years. Latapy was not around in those days. So therefore to bring Latapy and talk about intimidation was not fair to either Latapy or Mr Maturana.

You now realise this??  I feel your foray into the world of politics make yuh take yuh eye off the ball on dis one yes...literally, ah mean yuh now factoring Bermuda and Gold Cup into de mix.....Jackula yuh ah day late and a dollar short....steups

Friggin clown, no wonder we football in a mess....once again Mr. Jackula we are in this position because of you.  At the end of the day it all comes back to you.  But doh tell dat to people like my cousin who, like many others in this land, think that you are the best thing since sliced bread....

This article shows that Warner has very little knowledge of coaching and what it takes to build a team.
This is typical of most administrators in football. If the T&TFF themselves were to be judged in the same way we will have a new administration every month.
If Warner had said "we will evaluate the performance of the team and the make a decision." Then that would be acceptable, because a team can perform very well and lose. This is certainly a case where I hope Latas proves lucky rather than good in the earlies.

Two very striking ideas from Jack made my hair stand up

Oh Jah did Jack finally see the light

1. "We have told Latapy that he has whatever technical assistance that he needs
2 He has whatever players he needs and if as he goes along, if he feels he needs help he will get it. If he feels he needs the help of the Jabloteh coach, we will do that. Latapy must decide that from his own judgement

Will Latas test his reslove  ???
Would we see a return of Sancho and will Fenwick be added to the mix

yeah me ent say nothing yet but i agree with what you saying
i wonder what the priority is..getting to South Africa do or die..or let him play round with management to get some experience?
i think Latas was calling the shots the last fews games..if so this not going to turn out nice  ;)

IMO...Latas should bring Fenwick into the camp. At the end of the day the man does have a consistent winning record and he a solid defensive background. He is tough and disciplined but he can be harsh and abrasive ( which lately he seems to have under control). If you listen to his half time comments in each match he always seems to spot on with what he has observed and what changes should be made. Doh get meh wrong I eh think D man is a the Ultimate coaching choice but based on his previous record and knowledge I can't see how his input could do more harm than good. The team lacks discipline, cohesion and shape...also we have a inconsistent back 4 due to players trying out for positions that they have not ever played before maybe he can help in this area.  ::) ::)

Of everything that was said in that interview... and there was a lot said, I think this is the most intriguing.

As for some of the other things said... I too am troubled by Jack's emphasis that this is just an interim role and that if necessary someone else will be brought in should Latapy not cut it.  What would you be bringing someone else in for at that point... to turn down the furniture and turn off the lights?  Show over at that point.  The much more astute thing to do is to put your total confidence behind Latas, win or lose... win and the job is his, lose and we focus on 2014, there is absolutely nothing to salvage after two or three games should Latas fail.

But Warner believes there is still a lot of time to get T&T into a better position.

"We are 100 per cent better off than we were four years ago. Four years ago, we had one point, now we have two points, and therefore I have no reason to lose faith or lose hope."

Eh...

Jack might just as well have done dis, months ago, when everybody was callin' for "Mats" to ride out...

Allyuh eh fin' it funny day Sven was fired, but Mats resign?... Mexico really know how to do it oui...

we too nice...

We cyah even do de right things right... buh wha'...  Latas jus' get appointed and already Jack want to use he smartman tactics to undermine de fella... All dis "trial run" nonsense is dotishness oui...

come out and tell de world dat yuh FIRE Maturana in favour of national team stalwart Russell Latapy and really give de man and he crew de life we need nah man...

Agree 100%.  We should not be focusing only on the next 2-3 games.  What a sad and delusional statement to be made by a football administrator.

The other statement of note is the rift between the local and foreign players.  Can Latas, who in the past inadvertently helped create that rift (by wanting to be seperate and bigger than the local player) now provide healing.

I am still supporting Latas with the hope that he will be still the Head Coach after this 2010 campaign.

Blessing

You can never have total confidence," Warner said. "What you can have is hope and you have to have commitment. At the end of the day, Latapy should know more about these players than anybody else because he has lived with them and so on. And it is our belief that we should give him a trial run, so to speak, that is why it is an interim appointment."

If you don’t have total confidence in ah man…why he coaching the team??? HOPE??? From this pragrah we can see that Latas walking on ice per say. Why are these people gambling with the team and the fans?


Warner indicated that the "Little Magician" will have just a few matches to make his mark as head coach before a new appointment is made.

Doing this only hampers the chemistry with the team of not making certain of an official hiring of a coach.

We shall take it from match to match and see what happens," Warner declared.

Match to Match???

Like deh really think this is ah damm joke or ah fet match.

"We struggled to play against Bermuda, remember, that is a team we beat every Monday morning. We went for the Gold Cup and didn't qualify, remember, for the first time in many years. Latapy was not around in those days. So therefore to bring Latapy and talk about intimidation was not fair to either Latapy or Mr Maturana.

So alyuh did know we beating Bermuda every morning but yuh let Maturana stay for how long? Jack Warner it look like you is ah fool and knows nothing about the game of football. Like he is some kind of mad sciencetist. Why experiment?  :o

the WC is jack's cash cow! endorsements, package tours, media rights,  sponsorships etc. jack is in no wise willing to lose out on that, on the other hand yuh must remember jack is a product of the old boys club (no shame , no sense!)

an egoist, ah shortsighted fella, a dictator with no kinda logic, strategy, or longterm planning to his pet projects, in other word he's ah right here right now kinda coot.

there are a few reasons i see for latas appointment, one being, jack can't get the coach he wants tuh salvage his campaign BC no reputable coach with a brain would touch him, and time is opon him.

two, latas warned jack about pancho's ability/inability, and told jack before the hex he needs yuh rid him self of pancho ASAP, but jack declines and assures latas that if he (pancho ) messed up in the next three games then he would replace him.

now we're @ the cross roads, which to me was an extremely predictable scenario! mats stayed on as coach and was not fired right after the degicel cup, that, and all the blacklisting crap came home to roost. now jack is in ah panic. he thought he had it all figured out!

he would get a cheap reputable coach tuh take us to SA2010 and he would use the yutes who needs the caps tuh do it,

which would allow him the luxury to continue to blank fellas like sancho and avery and still make it to the big dance without these guys who challenged his authority.

but it all blew up in his face, remember when we barely got out the semi's how he ran and brought back Stern , birchall, latas, cyd, avery.

and when he made it to the hex the coach went back with the yutes, now after the three bad results, he's sure that the local yutes can't cut it as previouly thought.

now he's telling latas bout use any players he wants BC panic set in, and his monies in jumping up in steel band.

look how we seeing Sancho and the gang! what ah short sighted fool! what should've been done first is done last! this man is the epitome of an old trinidadian, no shame , no sense , no vision, just wicked and maniacal!!!

If things doh work out fuh Latas, I would love to see him continue for about 1 or 2 years under a coach like Scolari or Rijkard. Klinsman is great choice also, but we all know de situation wid him, i doh see him leaving Bayern tuh come here, especially wid de amount of points we have. However, wid uncle Jack yuh never know who he cud pull out of de hat. How about Sven  :rotfl:, ah just joking wid dat one  :rotfl:. As far as having a good coach, an economical one compared to the list of names I gave, someone dat know dat know de CONCACAF region well and have world cup experience, tuh me it doh get better dan Bruce Arena. HIGHLY BLESSED.

The fact of the matter is Maturana was shite and seemed like he really didnt care. So I glad he gone, at least now it have someone there who know the talent level of the players and will make the right team selection moves.

But to be honest I think latas has to play, we need someone with confidence who can slow up play in the midfield and control the game with the ball at his feet. We give away to many errant passes and which keeps our defense under pressure right thru.

Interesting input from Maturana.  Is dis why Avery, Sancho, Daryl Roberts and Collin Samuel cyah get a bligh? Spann in and out and Scott Sealy always out?

We doh want no Klinsman.

You could see Trinis in a meditation room with Budda Statues all over de place.   :rotfl:  On de one hand, he want everybody to relax with his holistic approach to coaching but he have men like Podolski moonwalking outta Bayern cause he cyah take de pressure.  Something not adding up here.

If he feels he needs the help of the Jabloteh coach, we will do that. Latapy must decide that from his own judgement."

this is a cacahole statement from jack...poor timing and poor choice of words..
do your best magico

 :rotfl: :rotfl:  Big Mag. What can I say. Yuh deep in a crude way but it is obvious dat yuh does get it.


Anyway, Latas all I can say is that you are a real brave fellah to jump into this hornet's nest of backstabbing hypocrites who will praise you today and sh&**t you up de next week as a scapegoat with a "you're fired" ruling after 2 games. It must therefore mean that you are driven by a very deep lofty drive that eh normal and is probably something that we should stand in awe and admire.

Latas, men on this site amazed that you seem fearless and enthusiastic, and as you put it "delighted" to serve. Amazing in truth. There must be something you know that we eh know. But here wah. Good luck padnah. Do yuh ting. Most of all, thank you fuh having de guts!!!!! to do what many would be scared to do especially if dey reputation at stake. And none ah dem have more reputation at stake than you.
