Title: Is Jack that bad
Post by: kingman on March 26, 2006, 10:22:43 AM
I know that we spoke about this guy more than one occasion on this site. I need to know though, is Jack Warner that bad of a person? Yes, he has been found guilty of some counts of corruption. But don't you guys think that all the good things to help Trinidad football move forward over shadowed his corrupted acts? I believe if was not for Jack we might not have even been in the World Cup. It is he that introduced that 4th team option, he got Dr Joao Havelange to help fund the Center for Excellence (now known as the Marvin Lee Stadium), he personally funded all Marvin Lee’s medical expenses, he personally supported the Trinidad and Tobago football team with his own finances, he brought the 2001 FIFA World Cup to Trinidad and Tobago, he brought the idea of a professional football league to Trinidad and Tobago and personally sponsored a team, he got involved in our players personal conflicts and helped resolved it (Nakhid in Lebanon), he  helped our plays got release from their clubs when they were given problem and then hired private jets/helicopter to fly our players back to their clubs as soon as they are done with national duty. This is just touching the surface. I think he should not be bashed as much as he should. Although, I do agree that he may be some what corrupt. But who isn't in some way or the other?

Kingman I have to agree with yuh there.De man did a lot for T&T football.Invested many hours and millions of dollars. The ticket fiasco was Warner's attempt to get a return on his investment.I can't blame him for that, but the conflict of interest was just to glaring ...he should have know better.

I cannot agree. Are you saying that he 'deserves' to hold the monopoly on ticket sales, to the detriment of every T&T national and/or die-hard supporter? Are you saying that he should have done it in a less 'obvious' way and that would have been alright?

Yes, Mr. Warner has done alot for T&T football. He has given much to charities. That does not and cannot justify the extent of the corruption that has come to be associated with him, his family and their ventures.

This casual acceptance that we Trinis for the politricks and machinations of our so-called leaders has got to change.

I've been thinking about this for awhile. We all know the platitudes - it good to have a Trini on FIFA, how else we woulda get (everything from CONCACAF seeding to the World Cup Draw). I can't deny that Jack is a brilliant administrator, someone who turned CONCACAF around and made us an international force to be reckoned with.

At the same time, no, he's not good for T&T football. We are an international laughing stock - nuff people in England is be like, oho, Jack Warner - ent he real corrupt? We are steadily losing any respect that our Warriors earned by qualifying. FIFA is institutionally corrupt, from top to bottom, but do we have to be so closely associated with that corruption? The man tried to deny Lasana accreditation - ah mean, Liburd is a damn good writer. And all of this UNC/PNM simmy dimmy - when people have to ask if the reason the TTFF not supporting the LOC cultural contingent to Germany have to do with the Jack-PNM divide - how that could be a good ting?

Kingman this is going to be an ongoing debate.
I saw this article this morning.

Trinidad Express
Cudjoe: Warner deserves praise (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=146061976)
Sunday, March 26th 2006


   
Professor Selwyn Cudjoe, president of NAEAP, during his addresses at yesterday's forum.

FIFA Vice President Jack Warner, who was recently accused of "conflict of interest" in the selling of World Cup 2006 tickets through the Simpaul Travel Agency which he had owned, should be praised for his accomplishments rather than criticised.

This was the view expressed by President of the National Association for the Empowerment of African People (NAEAP) Selwyn Cudjoe while speaking yesterday NAEAP conference on the PNM 50th anniversary held at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya.

He noted that though Warner "has his problems" he should be applauded for what he has achieved, including being a Trinidadian on the executive board of FIFA and assisting the national football team in reaching the World Cup.

"Leh we give Jack his jacket," Cudjoe urged the packed audience. He said that the tendency to point out failures and shortcomings was part of the self contempt endemic to Third World countries. He related this behaviour to discussions of the PNM, noting that people complained about the negative and neglected the party's achievements.

He said that, similar to the PNM, citizens are eager to magnify the shortcomings and minimise the achievements of the first Prime Minister Eric Williams. He also chastised the present leadership of the party for not doing a "good job" in educating citizens about the party's achievements over its 50 years in existence. He said that people should begin to celebrate and reflect on the memories of the early achievements of the party.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Jack is the reason why the TTFF so incompetent. His old boys club has probably done more harm to Trinidad and Tobago football than we will ever know. The only time the TTFF does get off the a$$ is when Jack crack the whip. The only time Jack does crack the whip is when he have something to gain.

Why do we constantly praise Jack for doing his job. The man get a 4th spot for Concacaf. AND!!!
Every federation trying to get an extra spot. Jack did not personally fund or help implement  Mexico's or USA's development program. Hence it is only fair to give him credit for doing his job.

The problem with us Trini's is that we all live for today. Jack is good for the short term. What is he doing to ensure continued development. I am sure that everyone on this board can name someone who they think can contribute greatly to T&T's foot ball legacy and never will because of Jack's Crooney's

There is corruption in every aspect of life and sports.  Jack has done a great deal for Trinidad and Tobago.  He should of been a bit more subtle in pulling his scam so he could make a profit.  He is no different than any other person of authority in Trinidad and Tobago.   Just be a little smoother next time Jack.

I agree with you, Kingman. If we are talking about football, then I think Jack has had a positive effect on our football. Many of our players would not have had the opportunities they have had were it not for him and we would arguably not be where we are today.

As for squabbling with a football writer, or taking the profits from d tickets (as opposed to some other travel agency taking d profit) - in my view that has nothing to do with whether we win or lose games.

Hi Folks
Most Times , people who achieve high positions, are driven by self interests.
So that Jack has done remarkably well to achieve these lofty positions.
FIFA also has done great things for Football, but is also very corrupt. So in such a corrupt environment, and to achieve high status , you have to be very good, and also be able to condone a lot of corruption.
So that when the opportunity arises, to benefit, it is easy to do like the others.
So we are proud to have one o' we in this "great ' association, but you have to be like them, to be among them. So YOU achieve for yourself and should be generous to those you represent.
But as we are nearing one of our greatest accomplishments in Sport, I think we should just see the best in others and be positive, and hope that the greatness of our soca-boys rub off on us.
Can we not lobby for sportsmen/entertainers who gain international status, receive some kind a pension for life.
 There should be some measure to reward our " Heroes". People like Sparrow , Rudder or past greats like Gally etc, after say selling  #s records or playing #s matches or winning # medals , should receive some award , which would entitle them to some kind of  additional pension after 65.
Political Ambassadors and politicians get it, so why not our real ambassadors

You can't even begin to defend the incompetence of the TTFF in managing local football.

What is acheived by our local footballers is, for the most part, IN SPITE OF the TTFF.

Licks, with regard to the pension idea for entertainers - although they might be special to us, they are not selling records for altruistic reasons - they were doing it for their own financial gain.  What you're saying is that people who are successful should be awarded with even greater (financial) success. From a financial perspective, it wouldnt be sensible for a government to do this.

Lara was representing Trinidad as part of the West Indies team.

Chalkie was not representing TnT. I think National Awards are an excellent way of rewarding entertainers. If they are successful entertainers and ambassadors then they should have no need for compensation from the government. Bob Marley would be my example (but I think we are going off-topic...   :D)

I mean, there's a HUGE difference between the contempt shown by people like Naipaul and the contributions of the John La Rose's of this world, who died without anyone knowing what he'd done for the country.

smi, I agree with you that the government should provide funding for the local entertainment and arts industries. My gripe was more to do with Licks' idea about a pension based on number of records sold - I think that idea is impractical.

But, while I agree that they are representative of TnT, I think we will have to agree to disagree on whether they are directly representing TnT.

All I am saying is that we should compensate our heroes/real ambassadors, whether it is sportsmen or artists, and we should find some way to measure their accomplishment whether its medals or airplay etc.

Too many of our artists, sportsmen  etc ketching hell, and are forgotten after bringing recognition to their country, while politicians etc are well rewarded (perks, pensions etc)  for their "paid " service.

 Enough said.

A corrupt man, whether they try to redeem themselves using corruption, is still corrupt. We should have a no tolerance policy on corruption, even if we benifit from it. That's the problem with T&T, how can you tell the government they should tief when you get the opportunity to benifit from it and turn a blind eye?

Like people dont remember 1989 ?
Due to that overselling people could have died that day !
I was there in that stadium and I saw people being crushed at the turnstile, 45,000 people in a stadium built for 30,000.
People think thats acceptable ?
We are just dam lucky no one died that day, I will never forget that.

People should think about where T&T could be without him, how do you know we could'nt be even better than we were over the last 20 years ?
Ireland only has a population of 4,000,000 and look how well they have done, and having to qualify from a very difficult european group.

Kingman

There isn't much information put forward to fully comprehend the merits and or demerits of JW the football administrator. I only have a few question that I hope to get the answers to.

1. If JW could turn CONCACAF around in such a short time, why hasn't he been able to do the same with the TTFA cum TTFF?

2. Did JW fund Marvin Lee's expenses in lieu of the absent player insurance, or mere benevolence?

3. Who administered over the decline of the game in TT?

4. Why did JW stifled the initiatives of the early aspiring pro teams/League (Pro-Pioneers, Suites, etc)?

5. Why does the old TT football fraternity continue to disparage JW ??? ;D

Superoli, the national stadium holds 27,000 actually. Yes, it was crazy. I remember distinctly.

Doc, interesting questions. Who knows if Jack paid Marvin expenses from his good heart? I guess only Jack will know. But good questions though.

Remember fellow forumites, i asked a question. "Is Jack really that bad"? I am not saying he is a good man. I stated some pros about him (or what i interpreted as pros) and asked if he is really that bad of a person after all. But thanks for you guys input though. It always appreciated.

Who staunchly defending Jack??? I say Jack did something that could change history in or country...simple...The PFL getting more teams...U21 playing more quality practice games, Youth Programs setting up,...What do you think that stemming from??? World Cup Qualification of course...Who get more CONCACAF teams to get in WC ??? Anyone who work with Jack Warner will tell you he is a Workaholic....I not saying the man int make some shady moves but all i saying is he make some big and substantial ones...Jefferz jump up and say I licking the man bamsee ??? ....And with regards to South Football being discriminated....IT IS...Check the coaches, the teams, the players...ask any south baller who make National or who was in screening...That is not the issue in this thread so let we forget that.......Go T&T
