That is where the Player Association should step in.
Unfortunately there will never be an effective players association in TT football, as longer as the gov't sponsored teams play in the regular league. Their participation undermines the players effort to have a viable players association. Look how the Spaniards have their protest. Now Do you think DF, Police, WASA, TTEC, Prisons, Fire, Air Guard, WASA, Petrotrin could go on strike. They are employees of the state paid by taxpayers money not for football perse. Even though we know they were employed to play football. Now how do the soldiers get paid? Not by their rank. Lt, Captain, sgt, corp, etc. You think a private who is the top scorer in the league and on the national team, could tell the DF coach that he want more money that capt Brown because he does full the HCS. Is the stockade in he arse.
