..."It is believed the TTFF do not have any control over the Pro League but they sure do have a lot of influense in what ever they do,all the administrators from the Pro league are involved in some way with the TTFF,to set up their fixtures it's based on the TTFF schdule,if the TTFF say no games they can't play,all the our national team players,coaches,trainers etc etc come from the Pro league how can we say the TTFF don't have any control over the Pro league. Does the Pro league control their own finances?do they have to be affiliated to the TTFF to function?do they have to be affiliated to FIFA,CFU,CONCACAF in order for their clubs to play in the different tournaments?it's a lot more than what we think,this is not Minor League Football."...
...Coops you wrong on this one. The TT "Pro" League controls its own finances, such as they are. The TTFF does not dictate TTPL fixtures. Indeed, the TTFF doesn't have a serious annual calendar and there is usually some turf conflict over this. The TTPL doesn't have a seat on the TTFF executive committee and, vice versa, the TTFF doesn't have a place on the TTPL board of directors, which comprises one representative of each member club. The "Pro" League has always been entirely autonomous of the TTFF and under the control of its member clubs - except when they needed Jack Warner's financial input over the years. But that is another topic...
