ALL DA HE SAY BEFORE DIS WAS In response, I have held lengthy discussions with my attorneys, family and members of the UNC. It was generally felt that it was sufficient to expose the story for what it is rather than to perpetuate its agenda by a law suit in the light of gross misrepresentations and inaccuracies even though I unreservedly withhold the right to do so at anytime.
Lasana ain't say nutten libellous in dem articles, so it ha nutten to sue for. Trust mih, even if it had 2 libellous words in dey, was Ramesh in liburd pwefn!The intention of the articles is to change the reference point of Jack Warner in the minds of the public, or more importantly, the electorate. It was designed to sully the Warner name and to reframe the recent achievements I have yearned and struggled for over many years in the football arena and which the national community embraced in a way that even Patrick Manning had to admit “brought people together like no politician had hitherto been able to do”.
boo hoo hoo!waaaah!“Operation Get Warner: A prelude to the General Elections of 2006.”
so manning really intend to play de ass an call early elections, eh?Credit must be given to Mr. Liburd for demonstrating that he is both a mathematical genius and an inventor of facts. In his magical script more apt for the Warner Bros. Studios than the Warner family, Mr. Liburd estimates that the local Warners will rake in a cool fifty million dollars in revenue from World Cup ticket sales alone! Apart from his illogical calculations, this unrepentant and inveterate liar has even outdone himself in that no application for World Cup tickets of any kind has been submitted yet to FIFA by the TTFF or me!!!
Dis probably true, in that even though dey (and everyone else for that matter) know how much the allocation is, dey ain't sen ah official document from d TTFF yet confirmin dat dey will be takin d full or partof d allocation. dis is what uncle bas does call a 'half truth'.As a consequence, no World Cup tickets of any category or price has been assigned to Simpaul’s or to any other organization and/or person in Trinidad and Tobago or the TTFF and I wish to repeat that no application has yet been made to FIFA for World Cup tickets of any kind or any category nor has any been assigned to Simpaul’s Travel Service.
Well if none ain't assigned, den d cry should be false advertising by Simpauls, cuz i ain't understan how dey cud be sellin wha day ain't have!At this point in time, no one in T&T really knows (except perhaps a creature called Liburd,) who in T&T will get World Cup tickets, what quantity they will receive or the criteria which will be used in the determination of ticket allocation.
In the absence of all this information, including the cost of tickets, only a Liburd can arrive at any kind of tally much less the gigantic proportions he sensationally manufactures.
Consider the following facts and ask yourself how you would feel if you were Jack Warner in light of the dark purpose of these articles:-
3. Over the years I have paid up a significant part of the TTFF’s debt with the exception of $827,000 which is owed to Simpaul’s Travel since 2001.
4. The records show that the earnings of these organizations have suffered because of the subsidized rates which I insist they charge for the services provided and for which
the TTFF has not been paying. At this point in time the Football Federation owes these two entities well over half a million dollars.
5. I recently paid a debt of the TTFF amounting to $1.7 million which was owed to CMB – Collier, Morrison and Belgrave of 13 Rust St., St. Clair. Ask Ian Collier, himself.
6. An additional sum of some $3 million dollars of a $5 million dollar loan owed by the TTFF to Republic Bank was paid by me and the balance of $2 million dollars was due by December 31st 2005. Ask the Branch Manager of Republic Bank, Long Circular Mall.
D multi million dollar question here is...WHY? Didn't the banks do sufficient cash flow projections to assess the ttff's ability to repay their debts? dah is wah i would ask de Branch Manager of Republic Bank, Long Circular Mall.1. Simpaul’s Travel was purchased by the Warner family some 10 years ago. At the time the Football Federation owed Simpaul’s over two hundred thousand dollars, which sum I paid.
As I'm sure u would have done to clean up the books of simpauls before the purchase....When the Warner family had to mortgage the family house for local football’s survival in the 1980s, where were Liburd and his friends?
Kangaroo Jack fugettin one ah d first rules ah business..he mixin personal funds wit professional. Ah wonder if my wife wudda leh me mortgage de house tuh go germany all in de name d survival ah football?When CONCACAF had only one team qualifying for a World Cup Tournament and we came second; then CONCACAF got two qualifying teams and we came third; then CONCACAF had three qualifying teams and we came fourth and I continued to lobby the FIFA for an extra place and CONCACAF received 31/2 spots, where were Liburd and his friends then?
So man jus supposed tuh hush dey ass an b grateful, ent? Allyuh ever see "A Few Good Men"? Jack Nicholson in de witness box.....Apart from the fact that he has been consistently refused accreditation to the World Cup Qualifying matches in T&T, who is he?
Consistently refused accreditation by whom/what body? Do i smell victimisation?Apart from the fact that he is working against his employers, the CCN Group acquiring the broadcast rights for the World Cup in 2010, who is he? In 1994 I obtained the local TV rights for WC for the princely sum of $1USD and sold it to TV6 for $250,000 USD which sum went towards the development of football in the TTFF. The same was done in 1998, 2002 and 2006 with increases in each case. Liburd continues to make this an issue and I can give him only one assurance today and that is that I will review the sale of these rights to his employers for the 2010 World Cup.
Yup, the pungent odour of unashamed victimisation!Mr. Liburd also had to go back 16 years to the age old issue of tickets printed in 1989. He alleges that I printed 16,500 tickets during the World Cup qualifying campaign of that year. This is a blatant lie. This allegation raises a very old issue that has no basis for truth and no bearing on anything today.
Old news, buh ent he did admit it?The simple fact is that no budget could have sensibly been prepared unless all the facts and figures are available, where, by and large, they now are.
Fellas, ah feel some ah we hah tuh run for office, even if is just tuh prepare budget and to hunt down facts an figures!Do you need a budget for those payments, Minister Boynes? Why not pay that sum of $106,950.00?
Is this rhetorical or does Jack really intend to operate like this if UNC geh power, an he is Minister for Sport? In fact, Minister Boynes, I do wish to state publicly here and now that, in my capacity as Chairman of TT Germany 2006 Ltd, we do not wish to have any funds from your Government for this World Cup project. We have come this far without any funds from your Government, except for $2.6 million TT dollars given at an earlier period, and we shall complete the journey without any further Government funding[/color]. ta-tanna-naaah! IT'S DE JACK WARNER SHOW!!! Starring Jack "I DON'T GIVE AH FLYING F*CK ABOUT DE GOVERNMENT!" Warner. and the saga continues.......
