Title: New TTFF Constitution
Post by: royalian on September 09, 2006, 10:02:11 AM
I almost missed it in reading the Ian Prescott report in today's Trinidad Express about the appointment of Colin Croft to head our South Africa 2010 LOC. Tucked into the final paragraph was "A T&TFF draft consitution has been formulated and will be sent to FIFA on Tuesday for approval."

So many questions now arise: 1) why the need for a new constitution (though this may be valid to make the TTFF more modern); 2)was there any consultation with the local clubs, or was this concocted in the offices of the CONCACAF President; 3) what's the thrust in this new draft constitution: a devolution of power from the Special Adviser to the clubs, or does it simply entrench the Special Advisor's role; and 4) what role does the fan of local football play in this new constitution.

In dealing with the TTFF on numerous occasions leading up to Germany, I can say that what is needed there is not necessarily a new constitution, but rather a smoking out of the existing jefes who are running an organization with a local 'parlour' mentality, when Fortune 500 vision is required.

Anyone out there cares to enlighten me?

Will the TTFF finally recognize Warrior Nation as an official supporters group? Any of the local based Warrior Nation executive had contact with the TTFF recently?

Since when people does make ah constitution and not consult with relevant parties--football associations, official supporters clubs, concultants, etc.  That ain't sound like they involve anyone in shaping this new constitution.  Why they ain't say is ah dictatorship and stop de window dressing.

This is just amazing. Is this going on inTrinidad, or is this a regime under Papa Doc. This is frightening. What's frightening is how amateurish and dotishly written the constitution is. Time to start talking to some attorneys who have an interest in this case. Jack's underlings need to be confronted as well, and their replies documented. I am curious to know if this story has any media appeal. If not, why not and who is the person in authority that says no. If yes, then which media houses should be targeted to explode this wide open

And this is the problem......there seems to be a lack of real Story Hunters  (a la Jennings and others in open societies) in the Local media. And even if there were, it seems the public in general would not even care too much if there were illegal dealings, and worse, those in a position to deal with corrupt practices are also either unwilling, unable or are just plain incompetent to deal effectively with such problems. The Jack and the TTFF story should be BIG news in Trinidad. People just too complacent.

I hear you Socafan. Well some good news is that our letter is in the sports pages of the Wednesday Express. See top thread. That might increase the publicity.

I must admit the numbers for the DPP, Ministry for legal aid and advisory,and Ministry for law enforcement and money laundering are useful. They will give us some guidance. Make sure all the necessary emails for the DPP's office are obtained too. :challenge: :challenge: :challenge:
