Soca Warriors get big bucks.
By: Francis Joseph (Guardian).[/size]
British arbitrator Ian Mill, QC, ruled yesterday that 16 members of the Trinidad and Tobago World Cup squad are entitled to 50 per cent of the net profits Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) derived from the Road to Germany 2006 campaign.
The question for determination now is how much is 50 per cent of the net profits?
In a 30-page judgment delivered yesterday, Mill detailed the dispute between the players and the TTFF, which had its genesis in 2004, when T&T began the World Cup journey to Germany.
The players had originally agreed to 30 per cent of the net profits, but that was changed to 50 per cent after meetings with the TTFF and its special adviser, Jack Warner.
According to Mill, the 50 per cent was finally agreed upon on June 12, 2006. Mill stated:
“It seems to me that the applicants (players) have done enough to raise a case for the TTFF to answer in this respect. I therefore find, not without some hesitation, that Mr Warner did promise on June 12, 2006, to increase the players’ share under the commercial revenues sharing agreement from 30 per cent to 50 per cent, in order to obtain ‘practical benefits’ for the TTFF, and that therefore, that promise was, and is, legally binding on the TTFF.”
The arbitration hearing was held between April 28 and 30 in the London Headquarters of the Sports Dispute Resolution Panel.
Now that the arbitrator has determined that the players are entitled to 50 per cent of the net profits, the next step for the arbitrator is to determine what figure should be paid out.
A case management hearing will take place in London in June, when dates will be set for the trial some time later this year.
Both parties agreed that the arbitration hearings will be in private, and no one is allowed to disclose the contents of the proceedings and/or the judgment.
In his judgment, Mill said he was disappointed that neither Warner nor the TTFF secretary Richard Groden appeared during the hearing in April.
The arbitrator indicated in his judgment that he hoped the TTFF would provide a proper account of the monies received to the players.
“Obviously, I hope that the effect of this decision will be that a proper account will expeditiously be rendered, together with the payments shown as due by that account and sufficient inspection of the TTFF’s records to enable the applicants reasonably to be satisfied that they have received that to which they are entitled.
“In that context, I should observe that any agreement entered into prior to qualification for the World Cup Finals, but which resulted in revenues accruing to the TTFF in consequence of qualifying, should be disclosed by the TTFF to the applicants.”
The players argued that the T&T Government published a figure of $173 million which the TTFF supposedly received during the campaign, but the TTFF disputed this, saying the figure was much less.
During the hearings in London, four players gave oral evidence before the arbitrator: goalkeepers Shaka Hislop and Kelvin Jack, defender Brent Sancho, and striker Stern John.
The 16 players who took the TTFF to arbitration were: Marvin Andrews, Christopher Birchall, Atiba Charles, Cyd Gray, Ian Cox, Cornell Glen, Shaka Hislop, Avery John, Stern John, Kenwyne Jones, Kelvin Jack, Collin Samuel, Brent Sancho, Aurtis Whitley, Evans Wise and Anthony Wolfe.
Representing the players were British attorneys Rupert Butler and Mike Townley, while Englishman William Mc-Commick, assisted by Trinidad lawyers Om Lalla and Kelvin Ramkissoon, appeared for the TTFF.
The impasse started in the Port-of-Spain High Court last year, but the TTFF took the preliminary point that this matter was not suitable for litigation.
The Federation asked for the matter to be stayed and resolved by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings were then filed in London on October 4.
The players contended that after TT defeated Bahrain 2-1 on aggregate to qualify for the World Cup Finals, the TTFF received US$5.6 million from FIFA.
As a result, the players argued that there was an inevitable commercial spin, in that sponsors paid large sums of money to be associated with any of the teams reaching the finals.

:wavetowel: some players names missing man .
-
Weel, well, well. Justice!!!

And where they going to get an idea of how much that net profit amounts to? The ever accurate TTFF accounts sheet?
-
Yyyyyyesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Landmark thread dread! Well done, well done, well done. Amazing.
Ok Jackula, Scamps and Rodent, siphon off all allyuh can in de coming Socawarriors vs England game as Phase II in yuh ruckuhtuhkungkung coming nex'. Ah doh want to see no sorry-fuh-Jackula threads now. Keep yuh foot on dey neck as iz ah nex' stalling game coming with no answering of emails, phone calls and probably even no acknowledgement of the arbitration ruling.
FPATT Posse, time fuh some media releases, and the game should be used to increase awareness and set the record straight on who is de greedy actors in the story. Control allyuh public image man as iz a fight fuh hearts and minds...
So who enforces the next step of accounting and of funds to be divided up? Remember, this could take 2 years if yuh lucky. The "Cancer" thread database and other files will be rapidly sourced if there is any whiff of smartman moves by Jackula an' company. Be on guard fellahs.
Be aware that Jackulito is really still blacklisting and only giving Jones, Stern-turn-inho and Whitley a bligh right now as he need them to bring him de nex bonanza, so for all de ress, is later fuh allyuh who making him "lorse morney". Nutten he hates more, (till his blood start to boil), than to lorse morney dread. :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
Yes I.
Big up :beermug: :beermug: :beermug:
-
In ya FACE Jackula.................change MAN...is time to change...seriously
Now is to get an ACCURATE number of what that 50% really is
-
"Coast, daiz de idealist wish, change. Buh iz a wiser move to assume no change, so press on Warriors. Remember the ONLY thing that will make Jackula consider a double take, iz if he real feel it in his pocket or he sees Jail time coming
-
There is a God! Now leh we see what play the devil have now!

considering the depths that some humans seem to strive to sink to, I am of the opinion that YES such MEN can elevate their lives to be on par with the rest of us in a hard working society.
-
Good going. But this part the TTFF already agreed to in the media - this just gives it the legal weight. The real question is the next step - the creative accounting.
-
i need a memory refresher..
wasn't what jack gave the players 50% of the "net" in the first place.
"Net" = (TTFF Falsely stated revenues) - (All possible deductible expenses from airfare to shoelaces)
So the real bone of contention is what is the actual revenue that the TTFF got and grossly misrepresented not so??
This one line in the whole ruling has me worried the most:
“Obviously, I hope that the effect of this decision will be that a proper account will expeditiously be rendered, together with the payments shown as due by that account and sufficient inspection of the TTFF’s records to enable the applicants reasonably to be satisfied that they have received that to which they are entitled.
What he mean by he hope TTFF give a proper account ??? Sound kinda toothless to me...
Nothing being mandated here and as such nothing landmarkish as yet imo.
Just another step in the right direction.
-
So who enforces the next step of accounting and of funds to be divided up?
Most likely they'll go before the CAS panel now...arbitration is what the TTFF called for.
-
Good going. But this part the TTFF already agreed to in the media - this just gives it the legal weight. The real question is the next step - the creative accounting.
:beermug:
-
FPATT should use the game against England to make a public statement 1-hour right before game time to call for proper accounting from the TTFF....they will have all the media attention they need.
-
:wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: :wavetowel: YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS PAYBACK IS A BITCH :devil:
-
Congrats to the warriors and a step towards the right direction, well done.
-
Good going. But this part the TTFF already agreed to in the media - this just gives it the legal weight. The real question is the next step - the creative accounting.
e-man..you could not have said it better...as any smart person knows a best accountants are the 'creative' ones who never break the law...
either way...JUSTICE!!! cyah wait to see what the payout figure is...
-
FPATT should use the game against England to make a public statement 1-hour right before game time to call for proper accounting from the TTFF....they will have all the media attention they need.
Very good ...have a press conference to shine some light on Jackula AND also talk about the FIFA VP NOT recognising the FPATT.
-
More media spotlight is meaningless really...Jack and the TTFF will just continue to imperiously disregard them. Now that the arbitrator has ruled that there is a duty owed to the players (by way of 50% rights), the next step is to determine 50% of what? In all likeliness an independent review will be ordered by the next panel (likely at the expense of both parties).
With so much publicity accompanying many of the sponsorship deals and other revenue streams which the TTFF enjoyed in the run-up to and post-Germany, not even the most 'creative' of accounting will save the TTFF from forking over a sizeable check to the players.

YEAAA TO THE WARRIORS AND TO FPATT !
FALLOUT NOW START
MORE BLACKLIST TO COME

Good going. But this part the TTFF already agreed to in the media - this just gives it the legal weight. The real question is the next step - the creative accounting.
EXACTLY!
-
I know its still early in T&T, but I'm surprised there haven't been more comments on this story so far.
After all, this is the day that many said would never come. TTFF/Warner have lost their case. Ok, its arbitration, not court, but the implications aren't a lot different. It has been proved that TTFF went back on their agreement. All of the namecalling and blacklisting by TTFF was completely uncalled for. The players were right and its taken them nearly two years to prove they were right.
So what happens now? Does the arbitrator order TTFF accounts to be audited. If so, is this the beginning of the end for TTFF?
-
Ah eh read de full thing yet but,
HALLELUJAH!!!!.....GOD DOH SLEEP!!!... :wavetowel:
Ok ah going to read it now....
Edit: so ah read it...and ah goh leave de pontificating to others....me I just still friggin happy that at least the players gettting more that TT $5,000. Ah watching to see the depth of the "creativeness"....anyway...
GO FELLAS!!!....GO SHAKA!!...GO BLACKLISTED 16!!....DOH GIVE UP!!!
-
Wait nah...Scotty not in the 16 who take the TTFF to court?
Hmm, Berris boy...I feel Stern days numbered now if is a straight tussle between him and Scotty for one spot.
But honestly, I think this was the easy part because it was clear that a deal was made. The issue now is how long the TTFF can drag this on for before we see the actual figures.
Bear in mind that we are in court now...this is not FIFA. Once the books and figures come to light, all Jack bobol WILL land him in jail so Jack cannot just hand it over. He fighting for his life, not just his 'good name' and career.. Especially because I don't think this is now a Trinidad legal matter, so it have no buying over of witnesses and police messing up the evidence etc. U can do creative accounting but the boldfaceness with which Jack is operate, it will be hard at this point.
-
Finally a measure of vindication with some legal weight behind it. Hopefully this is the beginning of the cementing of transparency and effort on the part of the TTFF.
-
We know is accounting 101 but right here on dis site we show dat dem books did not include all d money including for eg d withholding tax that say dat d German gov't take but was not take. At d end dey go get more than d 5000TT.
It was neva bout d money it was d principle dem 16 guys have more balls thanm dey predessors and hopefully d dimwits who eh sign up will join FPATT now as 4 d other 7 fellas I hope dey show some class and help out with d legal fees

TRINIDAD PLAYERS WIN PAY-OUT
By Martyn Ziegler, PA Chief Sports Reporter
Sixteen members of Trinidad and Tobago's 2006 World Cup squad are in line for six-figure pay-outs after winning a dispute over cash owed from the tournament.
The players, who include Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones, Southampton forward Stern John and former West Ham and Newcastle keeper Shaka Hislop, had taken their case against the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) to an arbitration hearing in London last month.
Now the arbitrator Ian Mill QC has ruled that the players are entitled to 50% of the cash the TTFF earned from sponsorship revenues and half the profits from six pre-World Cup friendlies.
The exact figure each player should receive has yet to be decided upon by Mill but they should be in line to pocket around £125,000 each.
FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, the TTFF's special adviser, who made the initial agreements with the players, had originally offered them around £500 per player.
The 16 refused and began legal action believing they were entitled to much more.
The Sports Dispute Resolution Panel in London were told last month that the TTFF had signed a £5.5million ($11.5million) sponsorship deal with adidas before the World Cup and that the players were entitled to half that sum plus 50% of FIFA's participation money and profits from pre-tournament friendlies.
Neither the TTFF nor the players are permitted to comment as the arbitration ruling contains a confidentiality clause.
But a leaked copy of Mill's ruling states: "It seems to me that the applicants (players) have done enough to raise a case for the TTFF to answer in this respect.
"I therefore find, not without some hesitation, that Mr Warner did promise on June 12, 2006, to increase the players' share under the commercial revenues sharing agreement from 30% to 50%, in order to obtain 'practical benefits' for the TTFF, and that, therefore, that promise was, and is, legally binding on the TTFF."
The 16 players who took the TTFF to arbitration were: Marvin Andrews (formerly Rangers and Livingston), Chris Birchall (Coventry), Atiba Charles (Rochester Rhinos), Cyd Gray (San Juan Jabloteh), Ian Cox (Maidstone), Cornell Glen (Ma Pau SC), Shaka Hislop (formerly Newcastle and West Ham), Avery John (Miami FC), Stern John (Southampton), Kenwyne Jones (Sunderland), Kelvin Jack (Gillingham), Collin Samuel (St Johnstone), Brent Sancho (Ross County), Aurtis Whitley (W Connection), Evans Wise (Waldhof Mannheim) and Anthony Wolfe (North East Stars).

D Addidas money how could I 4 get dat
-
How many believe jack paying out any big money ? how many believe jack paying out any money ? how many believe Jack paying out ? how many believe Jack paying ? how many believe Jack ? how many believe ? How many ? How ? :beermug:
-
Nice initial decision but it simply confirms what we already knew and continues to request transparency from the TTFF. Left to be seen how the players get to the next step.
Truly Blessed.

Yes, but the journey now start. The hard part begins now.

There haven't been more comments because all this does is confirm what many already felt was apparent...that the TTFF owed the money to the players. When they're eventually made to open their books and pay out it will indeed be the end of a long arduos process, but again...I still wouldn't expect 10-20 pages of comments because people are tired of discussing the obvious.

Key point there being that no liability was established in court. Liability nas now been established in an international forum, so there's no country that Jack or the TTFF can run to to hide their assets, which the players are free to go after should Jack/The TTFF fail to pay.
-
Next thing yuh hear the TTFF bankrupt after the England match...
Yeah well bankruptcy is about more than just saying "we bankrupt".
-
I haven't checked FIFA regs, but I'm sure that if a country's federation is bankrupt, they are automatically suspended from all FIFA competitions.
My question, if that is true, is this. Will everyone blame these players or will they blame TTFF if the Warriors are kicked out of the world cup qualifiers?

Big question dat.
One has to wonder....
1 - Will TTFF let it get to that? I say hell yeah. Is Jackula yuh dealin wit. He go blame de "greedy" players and de Government fuh it too.
2 - Will the players and T&T football in general (including fans and corporate) have the gumption and the BALLS to sacrifice a potential World Cup appearance to perhaps finally get rid of the TTFF as it stands? I say NO!
3 - Let's say TTFF does claim bankruptcy and FIFA does suspend T&T per their regulations, does this automatically mean the end of the TTFF as it stands? I say NO!
-
I can't see the players getting blame. As a matter of fact, I dare Jack to carried it that far to get suspension.

Jackula was mentored by Jean-Marie Faustin Goedefroid de Havelange and maybe you should read "Foul".
You ever heard of the Mafia...well this is not the Mafia nuh...
it is FIFA
-
If it takes suspension and missing the WC to put TTFF in order, then so be it.
-
D tie tounge tief say if dey say I have 2 pay i go pay but I hope dey know dey are ruining demself. In other words Sancho 4get d RWB. Dats ok all yuh go b in d history books like Rosa Parks
Where yuh hear him saying dat?? on a news clip??
Yeah well we not surprised are we?? daiz de only way de man know to operate....that is code for anybody else want to try to test me.....will never see de light of day in dis country....dat eh nutten cuz
GOD DOH SLEEP!!!...
-
If it takes suspension and missing the WC to put TTFF in order, then so be it.
Now we talking. Daiz de real deal talking dey. Powerful point. Iz hard to underscore enough how important those few words are and how much it may seem counter to the prevailing culture in T&T.. but it is slowly changing, and maybe not as slow as yuh think. ::)
-
got a question here...
the big parade they had that ended in the stadium and had a big presentation when they came back....
did they each get $1 million TT then??
and thas not when certain members of the technical staff werent included etc.
havin trouble keeping up with this madness

''
the TTFF can't go backrupt if they simply show the government their audit, so they can get money from the government. but the Government haven't heard any reply from the TTFF since that offer. So the ball is still in TTFF court and they have to take all the blame

Trinidad World Cup players win payment dispute over 2006 World Cup revenue
The Associated Press
Published: May 21, 2008
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad: A group of players from Trinidad's 2006 World Cup side has won an arbitration ruling from a London court that one says entitles them to some of the profit the team generated from playing in soccer's quadrennial championship.
Goalkeeper Kelvin Jack said he and 15 of his teammates had filed a complaint against the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation seeking at least half of the profit earned.
The government has declined to release that figure. Officials say the federation made US$28 million (€18 million) from the World Cup. The federation has declined to comment.
The complaint originally was registered in Trinidad, but then moved to England — where many of the players play their club soccer — after both sides agreed to arbitration.
Jack was one of four players who testified during last month's hearings. He told The Associated Press Thursday that he considered the ruling a victory.

"We still have some ways to go," he said. "This is no longer about the money, but about principle and respect."
He said a judge will decide in June how much each player will receive.
Trinidad became the smallest nation to play in the World Cup when it qualified for the 2006 championship in Germany. It was eliminated in the first round and finished last in its group but not before holding Sweden to a 0-0 draw and allowing two goals in the final seven minutes to lose to England 2-0.
Trinidad players to get disputed payment
The Associated Press
Published: May 21, 2008
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad: A London arbitrator ruled that a group of soccer players from Trinidad and Tobago is entitled to profits from the team's 2006 World Cup appearance.
Soccer player Kelvin Jack said he and 15 other players had filed a complaint against the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation seeking at least 50 percent of net profits earned.
The government has declined to release that figure. Government officials said the federation received $28 million in gross profits. Federation spokesman Shaun Fuentes declined to comment.
The complaint originally was registered in Trinidad and Tobago, but moved to England — where many of the players play their club soccer — after both sides agreed to arbitration and was decided by Ian Mill.
Jack was one of four players who testified during last month's hearings. He told The Associated Press on Thursday that he considered the ruling a victory.

Trinidad told to pay up
UK Guardian
Shaka Hislop, Stern John and Kenwyne Jones have won a first victory of their close season after an arbitration ruling found that the Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation should pay its 2006 World Cup squad 50% of net profits in accordance with pre-tournament promises. The verdict, which is subject to a confidentiality clause, was leaked to the Trinidad Guardian on Monday after a hearing in London last month but the players must now establish what the TTFF generated from their participation. They have contended that it raised tens of millions of pounds through sponsorship and government grants.

A radio clip now say is 50% of gross. Lawd have mercy
-
Jack already start getting confrontational

I can't see the players getting blame. As a matter of fact, I dare Jack to carried it that far to get suspension.
Like you doh know Jack! That is his ace in the hole...getting us suspended. He will still be a VP in FIFA and getting paid you know.
And it will be the players fault as far as most of the country concerned. I mean, how many times it have people on this board blaming the greedy players over this thing here and we supposed to be the more knowledgeable ones when it come to football?
-
A radio clip now say is 50% of gross. Lawd have mercy
According to Sancho on tv6 is 50% GROSS of the World Cup money and endorsments; 50% NET of the money from the warm-up games and 50% of the money for qualifying which they got some of already in January 2006. The TTFF said it was 6million francs and subtract 21% and 4% of some german taxes, but it turn out to be 7 million francs and tax free so they have to get the remainder.
-
Yeah Spidey that is d money Jack say d gov't tax but d German gov't did not tax d money

Jack and dem eh pay the arbitrator is d players lawyer who pay so d jud ;)gment could b released. I hope he sue 4 his money
-
So who enforces the next step of accounting and of funds to be divided up?
Most likely they'll go before the CAS panel now...arbitration is what the TTFF called for.
contrary to what JW has said in the media, this appeal to CAS is only with leave of the arbitrator and considering the TTFF's conduct in the arbitration; releasing details of the confidential award in breach of confidence, refusing to pay the fee ( a clear stalling tactic to delay the enforcement of the award) and having lost on every point, I do not see Ian Mill QC granting such leave.

As I understood it a second round of arbitration is now necessary to get the proper accounting. Anyways I got the answer that I needed...the accounting apparently is to be done upon Mill's order himself. So the next steps are still in his court so to speak.

The arbitrator must come up with a figure
the next step for the arbitrator is to determine what figure should be paid out.
A case management hearing will take place in London in June, when dates will be set for the trial some time later this year.

The arbitrator should include interest from when the payment should have been made.
