OK so if he says, "yes; there is a blacklist". Then what? Isn't he stating the obvious? Everyone knows players were deliberately targeted. But, here is what folks seem to forget; LP is NOT involved with the national team structure. He hasn't been since 2007. The Corneals and Keith Look Loy have taken that part of the TD portfolio away. LP has been "confined" to coaching development; which is an important component. However, is this a gross under-utilization of the man? Absolutely, but aside from carrying out his duties, I'm not sure what else you all expect the man to do. Hopefully, you all are witnessing what is happening at Petrotrin and what the other Corneal is doing there.
Look at the coaching ranks of the TTFF. Aside from the U17 women's coach, where is the pedigree and track record? Had LP remained in charge of the national teams structure, coaches in the mold of Beenhakker would have continued to come to T&T. However, that would have jeopardized the Miltonesque world created by the Corneals and their crew. So if you want to cast blame, pick the sources who are active and responsible for current state of affairs in T&T football.
Unless the gov't or private companies decide they cannot depend on the TTFF for providing a stable player development structure staffed with competent people who have a proven track record, we will all be dependent on the TTFF for the future of the game; and the TTFF is fully aware of the leverage they hold over everyone.
