Title: Trademark decision made by the TTFF… Some things never change.

Trademark decision made by the TTFF… Some things never change.
By Inshan Mohammed.


In trying to be objective, it is quite difficult to comprehend the latest decision made by new TTFF President Raymond Tim Kee and Technical Director Anton Corneal to appoint former Guyana head coach Jamaal Shabazz as joint head coach for the Trinidad and Tobago Senior Men’s Team that will contest the 2012 Caribbean Cup Finals next month in Antigua & Barbuda.

Without sounding like a broken record what is the criteria to qualify for such a position? As a die-hard supporter of our national football team, I find myself continuously asking this question since Jack Warner began pulling the strings in T&T football.

Tim Kee himself stated that Shabazz’s success at Caledonia AIA has not gone unnoticed and was one of the reasons why he got the current position. With an influx of Guyanese players Caledonia has had great success over the past year whereby they won many titles including the FA Trophy, Lucozade Sport Goal Shield, First Citizens Cup (2011 & 2012) and the CFU Club Championship.

At the international level they however were quickly reminded about football outside of the region when they were drummed by Marathón and Seattle Sounders respectively to finish as table propers, conceding 8 goals and scoring 3 in the process with one point in hand.

Now let’s examine Shabazz’s coaching record at the international level with Guyana where just recently they exited the Caribbean Cup second round qualification in last place, scoring 5 and conceding 6 as French Guiana and Haiti progressed.

At the 2014 World Cup qualifiers Guyana had an impressive first round series, knocking out the Soca Warriors by a point. During the semifinal round though, the team were ridiculously beaten by Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador scoring 5 and conceded 24 goals.

To add insult to injury Super League team Stokely Vale has already knocked out Caledonia from the current Toyota Classic.

If the TTFF reckons that their decision in appointing Shabazz to the hot seat was based on club success, then did they even consider other local coaches who have garnered more success on the club level?

Were coaches such as Stuart Charles of W Connection who to date has been the most successful local coach in the Pro League even considered?

Is there really such a dearth of capable local coaches that the same usual suspects are being recycled within the TTFF?

Some of these local coaches get unlimited opportunities and then excuses are thrown out that they are the most successful and qualified ones. At least give the others a chance too?

Interim head coach Hutson Charles has been doing a decent job and has not lost a Caribbean Cup qualifying game since taking the helm, so does he really need the help? Why not hire Jamaal Shabazz as an assistant then?

As a loyal poster on SocaWarriors.net pointed out, maybe this appointment was put in place to keep an eye on Charles and continue to maintain control of the national team from a higher level. One can only imagine what Charles must really be thinking of this situation.

There should be a fair system in place to screen coaches and that should also include presidents and technical directors as well.

So in light of this recent development my advice to our new president is, if you really want our football to progress, please stop making trademark decisions and don’t take Trinbagonian supporters for fools. You promised to listen and work with the fans, but already this decision seems contrary to your word.  I guess the more things change the more they stay the same.

Over and out.

This is business as usual for the TTFF. By the time the dust settles on the Caribbean cup we will have a very good idea whether Tim Kee is a genius or a rank jackass. I have a feeling we will soon be begging Oliver Camps to come back, Lol

Just to add some objectivity to the mix-----have the powers to be ever consider a foreign-local kinda fella by the name of Terry Fenwick? In terms of experience as a player, knowledge of the game, familiarity  with the local players and coaching credentials where does he stand relative to our present appointments? Would he be a good fit? With Stephen Hart around, would he not be a valuable asset to our rebuild in some capacity?

Great write up Flex.

I want to see IF the team qualifies for the Gold Cup if Jamaal Shabazz will coach the team via SKYPE.

Tim Kee lost marks here and it seems Anton Corneal is the man who really pulling the strings.

They give certain coaches all the tools/backing to be the most qualified in T&T and then say they are the most qualified.

How can the Head Coach of a professional team be appointed as the national team coach?

Tim Kee is allowing the Corneals to dictate him.

Not even a month Tim Kee here and already this crap happening.

Once a man twice a child and Tim Kee is showing his true colors he learned from Jack Warner.

Tim Kee spent 10 years in office with T&T football and he did nothing, he was one of Jack Warner pets and now he came back to finish us off.

What a poor decision by him.

How can a man stick up a country, kill innocent civilians and walk the streets today portraying T&T and people not doing anything about it. In some other country this clown Jamaal Shabazz would hand been hung.

I can't understand why these old fools in our country want power and just cant handle it.

Is true when Lord Nelson say "all ah we is one family"...

By de way, if T&T happen to qualify fuh de Gold Cup, and assuming Shabazz still involved wit dw team as coach or whaever, how he go coach?  By remote?

Because as far as I know, de Gold Cup does always play in de USA and Shabazz does always come up wit some excuse as to why he cyah go dey.  :) :)

Maybe dat too much medium term planning for Tim Kee dem. Given de TTFF history, planning to dem is a east dry river housing project

My wife played for T&T under Jamal Shabaaz and I cant tell you first hand he is full of favoritism and does not have the ability to coach outside the region. Training was a joke and reminds me of some school team in training.

On the flip side, he is not a long term coach for T&T and does have favor with the TTFF, maybe he knows some dark secrets of theirs.

However, he is at this point in time the better coach of the two, short term fix, maybe? but definitely not long term.

Hutson Charles is a very nice person but he cannot coach or is in need some some help.

But I agree with Flex here, do it the fair way, maybe Stuart Charles would have been a better short term option?

Nothing should come as a surprise from the TTFF; a surprise would be if they do decide to ever get it right! In principle, joint coaching duties may not adversely affect a program or team however in this case as inmost involving the TTFF, moves are never fully explainable nor do they apparently seem to have merit.

First, we have a young mostly local team that have achieved success despite the vast adversities in terms of funding, training and support. Their accomplishments in spite of it all, with a local and relatively inexperience international coach is much to be complimented for at these times. In what appeared to be attempts to move forward with our program, many have now been 'warming up' to accept this direction win or lose.

Now for the kicker, an appointment of a second coach. Why this particular coach? without being prejudicial of the man, could the TTFF outline the international; qualifications, assets, skills and experience, this coach will bring to the program to enhance the performance of our team? What are the advantages and the announcement of the timing to the program? Would someone of a Stephen Hart calibrate be more meritorious of this position?

If the TTFF could be more transparent in its appointments and clearly justify the criteria of such appointments, maybe we , the ordinary fan could be more accepting of the practices of the  said organization. I am not asking for a public declaration of the person's resume, just some clarity as to what strengths and what insights this person may have in moving our program forward.
Respectfully submitted to whomever from the TTFF that may find this worthy of  consideration.

At least I do. I don't know him well to say his selection is a positive move. We will have to wait and see. And as far as jack no longer the face of TT football. good f--king riddance.

T&T needs me – Shabazz.
By Emmerson Campbell (stabroeknews.com).


In an hour-long emotional speech that ended in tears, celebrated national football coach Jamaal Shabazz formally resigned from his post, citing commitments to his home country, conflicts within the GFF and government’s lack of vision for the sport in development plans.

Shabazz is widely regarded as Guyana’s most successful football coach with wins in four World Cup qualifying matches. The Trinidadian intimated that an appeal by Trinidad and Tobago’s Football Federation (TTFF) for him to assume a more permanent post was also a major deciding factor in his decision.

T&T needs me – Shabazz
By Emmerson Campbell (Stabroek News)


In an hour-long emotional speech that ended in tears, celebrated national football coach Jamaal Shabazz formally resigned from his post, citing commitments to his home country, conflicts within the GFF and government’s lack of vision for the sport in development plans.

Shabazz is widely regarded as Guyana’s most successful football coach with wins in four World Cup qualifying matches. The Trinidadian intimated that an appeal by Trinidad and Tobago’s Football Federation (TTFF) for him to assume a more permanent post was also a major deciding factor in his decision.

In his speech at the Radisson Hotel, Shabazz said, “I called you here today to first say goodbye to a country that has accepted me on two occasions in my football career and a country that I have grown to love.

“The first reason for me resigning is that the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation has asked me to play a more full-time role in football in Trinidad and Tobago, starting with joining the national staff as the co-coach of the national team,” he said. Shabazz added that “The present coach is there on an interim basis and it is the view by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation that I can help the staff and the team to qualify for the World Cup. I had a very short time to make this decision and when I analyzed the situation in Guyana with the federation and the chaos which we must not hide with the GFF and GFA and the whole uncertainty of a pathway forward for football, I felt that in the interest of my family and my future, I had to make a decision to return to my country.”

Shabazz went on to say that on analysing the situation, he realised that the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) is a work in progress and that certain sections of the GFF did not share the same vision for the development of the sport. “The GFF is a work in progress and where we want to take football, there are still people in the GFF that don’t want to go there, they are patient and I am using kind words, they are very patient with wanting to see football where everybody can eat, they cannot see that football can move from the cap-in-hand begging, to uniting a country and becoming a million-dollar industry,” he said.

The T&T born coach was on his second stint at the helm but he ruled out a third tour, though he added that it was a difficult decision to make because of his love for Guyana. He also posited that without the chaos in Guyana’s football, the nation can achieve much more.

“I came here first from 2005 to 2008, then I resigned in 2008 and then I came back in August of 2011, I say to you Allah knows best but there would not be a third coming of Jamaal Shabazz, I have given all that I can give with all sincerity, I have made whatever knowledge I have of the game available to the staff,” he explained. “I have come to love this country as my own, Guyana has tremendous potential, when I came here first, I was so impressed with the talent, I say with full confidence that this country can achieve a lot more.”

Personalities over progress

Shabazz called for an end to the GFF and the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) rift which has dragged on for over a year and questioned if the stakeholders really do have the interest of football at heart.

“The chaos, the disunity, the treachery that exists, we cannot turn a blind eye to it, this situation with the GFF and the GFA is now over a year and it is not solved and we cannot say why men who claim they have the same interest in football cannot find common ground, if their interest is the same, can’t they find common ground? And this is the question that I ask; can’t we find common ground to solve a problem? But we don’t see the players, we don’t see the football, we see the personalities and we see no progress,” he added.

According to Shabazz, despite the treachery and disunity here he has met some of the best brothers and some of the most trustworthy people he has ever encountered. He also praised Assistant Coach Wayne Dover as having played an integral role in the team’s development and made a symbolic gesture to his heir apparent by taking off his yellow jersey and handing it Dover.

“I think the time has come for Guyana to look inside and respect its own. Coach Dover has proven to be the most consistent coach that Guyana has produced and you look at the history book, the time has come for the GFF and the Guyana fraternity to give him that respect because I don’t think that anything this team has achieved could have been achieved without him and everything that he achieved, he played a major role and I want to symbolically give this shirt to Coach Dover,” Shabazz said.

Shabazz then called on the government to revisit its view of sport in development and reminded the media that the Jagdeo Administration had promised the team a piece of land after they qualified for the third round of the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers. “I think that the government of Guyana needs to recognize the role that sports and culture can play in the development of a nation,” adding that “sometimes there is too much pettiness.”

The former head coach also made clear his intentions to ask government for the land that former President Bharrat Jagdeo pledged that the team could have on advancing to the qualifiers. “Mr. Jagdeo promised that if we advanced that we would get land so now Mr Ramotar, I respectfully say to you that I look forward for you to deliver good on this promise of the land because these men have delivered and served this nation with distinction…When we qualified it was not the Golden Jaguars that advanced but it was  Guyana that advanced and the government must see the correlation with sport and culture and human development.” He then thanked the government, players, his staff and the rest of the nation for their love and support.

Neither GFF President Franklin Wilson nor members of the executive attended the briefing.

Shabazz called for an end to the GFF and the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) rift which has dragged on for over a year and questioned if the stakeholders really do have the interest of football at heart.

“The chaos, the disunity, the treachery that exists, we cannot turn a blind eye to it, this situation with the GFF and the GFA is now over a year and it is not solved and we cannot say why men who claim they have the same interest in football cannot find common ground, if their interest is the same, can’t they find common ground? And this is the question that I ask; can’t we find common ground to solve a problem? But we don’t see the players, we don’t see the football, we see the personalities and we see no progress,” he added.

According to Shabazz, despite the treachery and disunity here he has met some of the best brothers and some of the most trustworthy people he has ever encountered. He also praised Assistant Coach Wayne Dover as having played an integral role in the team’s development and made a symbolic gesture to his heir apparent by taking off his yellow jersey and handing it Dover.

Rich coming from somebody who was actively involved in a coup to overthrow his country's government.

Good article Flex! In order to comprehend you might need to look at the TimKee's nexus  and relationship with Maple/ Alcons and the Corneals. Tried to be a Maple  player and was or is  executive of Alcons owned by the Corneals . Shabazz then Hyron Best Goalkeeper of Alcons. Add 1 & 1. Anton is not calling the shots ,it is his father!
I am very disappointed that TimKee is allowing loyalty to friends to dictate the future of Trinidad and Tobago football. You know the history with Corneal and coaches such as Fenwick. He tries to squeeze anyone who he thinks is a challenge to his son who is not up to that level.
From selling lettuce to making big decisions. What a move!

And all of that crocodile tears, yet he doing a Guyana press conference with a TTFF shirt on.

Talk bout rubbing salt in your wound.

 ;D


Ah ha ha ha! Oh gaaad, I want to dead with laugh!!! Shabazz does rock that TTFF jacket shirt like a badge of honour. That playing for the home fans anyway. But on a serious note, the man level more public criticism at the GFF in 5 minutes that he EVER put down against the TTFF in his whole career. When it comes to our federation silence and subservience is the golden rule. These fellas know which side their bread is buttered. Good luck to you

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: we wanted change,take change.Why are u guys complaining? 

 :rotfl:

all man jack rejoice tim kee and he done start to pull wool over their eyes, this board is real tears don

Not quite so. Everybody rejoiced because we finally had some change after some 30 years of jack's rule. highs, lows, hiigh lows,very low and flat on we face. We accept Tim Kee with reservations. At least I do. I don't know him well to say his selection is a positive move. We will have to wait and see. And as far as jack no longer the face of TT football. good f--king riddance.

brother, im all about change but this is recycling, i remember a certain instance with tim kee where he failed to impress many years ago, with lack of organization and vision, so i was surprised to see him in  the short list, i support an outsider who has zero interaction with the local cabal, in order to save our football from further oblivion

Jamal Shabazz is such a fake, how could Guyana swallow this fake man cries.

If his time was up with Guyana, just be a big man and say you moving on.

You want to know how Guyana can't see this man is a fake! What about Trinidad? And Tobago? Our expectations have fallen so low now!

Just to add some objectivity to the mix-----have the powers to be ever consider a foreign-local kinda fella by the name of Terry Fenwick? In terms of experience as a player, knowledge of the game, familiarity  with the local players and coaching credentials where does he stand relative to our present appointments? Would he be a good fit? With Stephen Hart around, would he not be a valuable asset to our rebuild in some capacity?

Ent  ah say so?..

Fenwick name has always been in the mix. But the past admin. has always thought otherwise. The best pick of coaches since Beenhaker has been Stephen Hart. I think Tim Kee admin. picked him. So Terry has his chance now. Let's see him talk the the talk and walk the walk.
