My Picks

President - George Hislop.
Vice President - Brent Sancho.
Technical Director Men Football - Terry Fenwick.
Technical Director Women Football - Lincoln Phillips.
General Secretary - Mike Townsley.
Managers - David John Williams and Richard Braithwaite.
Vice-Manager - Inshan Mohammed.
Technical Advisors - Lincoln Phillips and Keith Look Loy.
Treasurer - Nigel Myers.
Course Directors - Lincoln Phillips and Raymond Tim Kee.
Marketing - Kevin Harrison, Inshan Mohammed, Shaka Hislop and Kelvin Jack.
Official Website - Soca Warriors Online.
Press/Video/Photography Officers - Lasana Liburd, Inshan Mohammed and Shaun Fuentes.
Official Supporter Group - Warrior Nation.

This is a serious group of men here, only Keith Look Loy and Shaun Fuentes from the old TTFF should be kept on and observed.

Lincoln Phillips is a knowledgable man and should be utilize, lets see what he could do with more support.

These are a mixture of young and old who can make the transformation easy and who can work together and not back stab each other.

Tallman and Flex are a great team, I know they will get things done in a heart beat.

The reason I put more than one man in a position is because I know a few of them cannot commit to it 100% because of family commitment and so on.

These men will bring great ideas to the table.

To me there must be a level of transparency around the treatment of players with proper contractural arrangements either set by the federation or negotatied via collective bargaining.

Base contracts for a pool of players based on a national selection policy (local and foreign based) 
Payment scheme for tiered level of games (friendlies, fifa recognized qualifiers, fifa recognized tournaments)
Performance based bonus scheme (based on individual contribution)

[Cocorite]

Draft a constitution to put policies in place emphasizing:
     
      Accountability to all stakeholders--T&T public, Gov't, Players union, FIFA etc;
   
      Transparency in financial dealings, plans for a developmental approach to building a sustainable
       feeder and talent system through all ages;
   
      Reward system to exemplary performances both on the pitch and off the pitch--administrators,
       officials, etc.


Enact a limited term of service (say four years) for key positions such as the presidency etc.

Hold truly open voting for key positions advertising on the TTFF website and in popular media

Hire a truly professional marketing firm to advertise and promote T&T football

Seek and play friendlies with higher ranked teams similar to the opponents we're about to face

Pay the 06 players and all outstanding debts to all parties and apolagize to them and the public

Find a way to work with the Pro League to bring back the fans to the grounds for support

Restore the joy of football to the T&T public

Play de Fitball

That's the first step before we do anything else!!

You need someone with alot of money to revive the TTFF.

The damage is done and it has reached a point where it is almost impossible to do anything.

Anyone who is willing to take over will have a tough job because Jack has buried his claws to deep.

Dont waste your time with this especially when no one is willing to step forward even for a challenge at this stage.

Where have you been?! Jack is gone!! He has literally been banned from being involved in football!

Right now Jack could get into trouble for as little as buying one of his grand children a football for Christmas or watching a 5-a-side game down by the corner!

All we need is for Camps to do the honourable thing and the new committee being discussed proposed above can step in to save our football!

Please try to contribute your ideas!! The longest rope has an end and now is the time!!!

It might be a start but it cannot finish there, back up to my earlier post. if we don't settle on a proper payment model for players that is understood and accepted upfront. We will continue to face situations like the one we are still trying to overcome with regard to agreed payments to players

That is where the Player Association should step in.  TTFF by themselves not interested in any payment model or structure.  They want to be able to say if the game didn't draw a big crowd, then the players get small money.  If the game was big then they will pay the capped-off price...which is $200 a man.

        I thought the MoS took over all payments directly,so i guess a different approach to paying players etc have been settled,the reason they can't touch the debt owed to the WC guys is because of the battle going on in the courts.I don't think Stern and these guys will get tied up again if there wasn't something substantial put in place.   

[Deeks]

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.

If you had a chance to rebuild the TTFF, what would you do? What changes/people and new ideas would you bring to make  a new and improved TTFF?.

good intention but the ttff will just sponge off the ideas and continue with the current admin in power and the inept all sport at their side which is basically a joint company with the govt and an extension of the ttff

giving the ttff great ideas will just strengthen their grip on local football, which is what we don't want

good intention flex but it will play against the fans more than benefit the progression of football

Nah man, I disagree. If we are truly interested in the betterment of the football, then it shouldn't matter who implements these good ideas. BUT, i would wager that once these ideas are presented by this board, The TTFF is guaranteed not to implement them since they weren't their ideas. Don't even talk about the ideas that require accountability; they ain't touchin' dat!

I have a lot of ideas and would only share it with an organization that listens first of all and also one that i support. when camps and the rest resign and a new fed is appointed i will share, other than that, why should people give their intellectual property to ungrateful admins

you really think trinis who have the ideas want to share it with camps and co?

you have to be joking, the more ideas you give the ttff, the better they will look, when they don't deserve to be there in the first place.

let the ttff come up with their own ideas and lets see what they do with all sport. lets see if they qualify this team for the world cup

with the amount of money being invested in the campaign, TT should finish in the top 3 teams and advance to brazil.

when i see a fed that i support, i will share my ideas, otherwise that ain't happening, there are too much ungrateful people in the tt football fraternity

you speak about delusional, but your writing it time and time again.

what makes you think a new committee will be formed and the current ttff admin will step down?

the government has basically extended its hand to the ttff, essentially given them a lifeline with all sport being both an extension of the ttff and govt, in a JOINT effort.

the ttff admin are not going anywhere and neither are their supporters who vote for them in the regional associations

you saw what happened to look loy when he tried to run for the post, even if he succeeds he will be in the minority.

use your head for once, oh i forgot, that is not something you are use to doing

Contro what i come to realize is this,being unteen miles away with all these ideas will never work,the people on the ground at home,in the office every day,attending the meetings,voteing for who they want,seeing to it that their ideas are implimented etc etc they will always have the upper hand,people home must be don't even know who Contro and Soca is,waiting for that ragime to go not making sense,i want you all to take into consideration most of the TTFF administration have been there all their lives,it's their career/living where they going.
