Mr Cooper-
Thank you for somehow equating my callous joke with crime! In my American world crime is divided in 2 categories: 1) Opportunity & 2) Necessity. I wish to inform you that educated people also commit crime on a daily basis, crime has no class or structure. I'm not a poster that comes on here to "flex" my intellectual muscles, if I'm wrong, I admit it and move one. I have no need for fighting or belittling no one.
While I may not be well versed in TnT's soccer or in it's culture or as articulate as others on this site, the one thing I am certain is: Yes I would put "all" TTFF members on the breadline. How many careers were set back during the "Blacklisting"? The TTFF has employed a structure of business (business model) that has ran huge financial losses even during peak seasons (WC, GC, CC) and they are always looking for gov't, handouts, subsidies etc. Is is their job to promote TnT soccer, but during the last few years, even that ability has come into serious question. The TTFF is riddled with gross incompetence: from travel arrangements, to providing standardized match fees, contractual agreements, coaches & coaching staff, to even capitalizing on the brand name that is "Socawarriors." If upper management is always financially in the red and is somewhat disorganized (yet nothing changed), what does it leave me to assume of middle or lower management.
If the business model for the TTFF is always in deficits, how come their members/staff are always "holidaying" in Boston, Barbados, Bermuda, Boca Raton, Bahamas etc. I have posted pics here of special advisors and staff members " toasting their grand cru in the back seats of limos at the Bridge" Where did this money come from? While it is not my business, it does raise the eyebrow, when I hear they are broke, and unable to pay their principle producers of their product! This also leaves me to believe that Jack, only cared about the money during 2006, he neglected his product, his market, his consumers and justified it, the staff members also did it publicly. He felt that somehow he could do a product replacement and there would be no consequences, and that the talent of his WC 2006 product would also roll over and play dead . If staff members can be so callous & fearless as to share their opinions on social media, they should be fearless when the ax man comes.
I heard and saw my friends being ridiculed on social media, should I stay still, when the TTFF members are living large on a broken financial business model, what does it leave me to believe about management and staff at all levels? That it's corrupted at every level, right? Facebook is a hell of ah thing eh! I would rather sacrifice the upper, middle and lower staffing in order to save my product and right now that product in this market is suffering. Yes I would ask that their assets be seized until, until individuals are assessed to have not benefitted from cronyism and from directing funds for personal pleasure! The days of stealing are done!
This is not meant to disrespect you but come one man.... would you want anyone form the old regime in?
In the end you could analyze every word I say but when members of the TTFF go on record publicly ridiculing the 2006 WC members, it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth! Take Care!
