Good stuff Seeker.
Notice how normally power-hungry Uncle Burrell declined to accept the kushy Concacaf president job
Surely he is worried about being snatched away in a Zurich conference as the noose is tightening around the mafia

Football / TTFA's way forward for technical director, developmental coaches U15 - U23 & up?

« on: December 16, 2015, 12:28:58 AM »

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/6Ao99mb6MbI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/6Ao99mb6MbI</a>

The video from the last Field of Dreams episode 21 is above, with the rarely seen Jan Steadman.
Based on one of the more pressing (although admittedly disjointed) discussions here, about how to get:

1. A fair competent technical committee
2. Qualified developmental coaches and U15 to U23 coaches
3. Need for a technical director
4. Need for a panel of top local coaches to select the U 15 & up coaches

could we begin exploring coaches' names that the footballing public needs to lobby for inclusion. For Mens' and Womens' teams. Please volunteer coaches from old to new, known to relatively unknown, local or abroad who need to contribute to the panel and maybe some coaching too. There are too many T&T teams idle just rotting on the side as we invest all in only the Mens' national team. DJW's manifesto talks development, so how do we proceed, who should be selected that has been excluded from the so called cabal that recycles the revolving door of low-esteem coaches with verbal contracts with no pay.

Uncle Tim may have been clueless about development. Gotta start getting ready now ASAP as our achilles heel is last minute prep or no preparation before tournaments. What about placing these folks based on just talent & experience, no nepotism, no cronyism:

1. Technical Committee: Gally, Bertille, Fenwick, Vranes, Alvin, Vidale, Shabazz, Look Loy, Angus, Anton, Fevrier, McComie, Latas, La Foucad, Lillywhite, Streete, ?Steadman,
2. Technical director: Stumped. Polarizing decision. Help please.
3. National Mens' coach: Hart assisted by "Barber" and Derek King.
4. National Womens' coach: Waldrun by default, assisted by a local, let his son run the Houston Dash.
5. Under 23 Mens' (least glamorous but still crucial team for somebody trying to prove themselves): Fenwick, assisted by Mc Comie.
6. Under 20 Mens': Gally assisted by Clayton Morris.
7. Under 17 Mens': Vranes assisted by Anton.
8. Under 15 Mens': Bertille assisted by Angus.
9. National Under 20 Womens': Not Creece. Bring back Pellurud after paying him?
10. Futsal coach: Clayton Morris
11 Under 17 Womens': ?
12. Beach soccer Men's: keep the last guy, Mr Astorga
13. Olympic Womens': ?, ? Ross Russell
10. Other coaches trying to prove themselves: Brian Haynes, Richard Chinapoo, David Nakhid, Latchoo
Please submit more names and alternative & general suggestions.

Wok for everybody to stop the bitterness and bobol? In addition ...
Media officers: Andre Samuel, Villafana, Fuentes
Marketing officers: Flex, Tallman, Harford, Narada, Football supporter (after paying a disciplinary fine  & 1 yr probation)
Players' Union heads: ?Kelvin Jack, ?Anthony Wolfe, ?Maylee Attin Johnson.

Clubs have to see that hard times are coming and they MUST as a matter of URGENCY, find alternative revenue streams, most likely associated with gate receipts, most likely from community grounds that are urgently to be constructed.

Quitting at the end of 2015 is actually something that a lot of them are considering. Remember for most its over 10 plus years (youth to senior) of no water or ice at training, having to borrow male uniforms, getting injured on duty and not even getting a "how ya going" from the FA.

It would be very sad though. This is arguably the "golden generation". The quality of players coming up just isn't at a good enough level. And I say that not only from results but from watching them train and in match situations.

Excellent. Once again, solid awareness of the profound underappreciated value, the chronic betrayal, a betrayal that ellicits from some, just a loud extended "sssteupsss" like dey eating a diana power mint.

Until there is a day that you can go to bank or the grocery with a box of national pride, then I fully support the players.

Kenwyne is standing up for his team, he is being a leader both on and off the pitch.  It is not about the money for him.

I know that there could have been an option for the players to feel out DJW first, but i am sure that if they did, they would have simply received the same promise that they got from the previous TTFA admin.

The timing was perfect.  Copa America qualification is outside of a FIFA date, so no players can be forced to play.  It is also far away from the actual qualifiers in March, which gives enough time for wounds to heal after this "fall out"

Well done Jones

ah love it!!

Unless all the ball pyongs feel collective pain, disappointment and pass it onto Mr cover-up-Fuentes, then the TTFA, then nothing will be done
Unless Sam start cussin' and losing his mind and gentlemanly Deeks jumps into the fray, as a barometer of massive fan disappointment then nothing will change. At least DJW will listen and ask for help as opposed to Uncle Tim who would have said 4k
The leeches who planned to benefit from travel agency, marketing their products in USA, telev rights, media sales had we participated would now say "Shite! How allyuh could do we dat? How can we lobby for a resolution by the stakeholders?"
Correct move by KJ. No fairness, 4k de football. Seriously. Hard luck for Flex, Tallman, Tony Harford, Field of Dreams, Scoreboard and all other well intentioned contributors. Collective pain must be felt.
T&T must learn to grow up and value human resources. If not face painful consequences.

P.S. Who is the "coach"?

Anthony Creece

Get rid of Creece immediately. Immediately and send him packing to home.
Either he has no damn awareness of his limitations or he does not care about losing like a backside as long as he gets a 10 days to go Brazil
The same issue again as seen under Spence. Mediocrity encouraged by the old culture of cronyism, is not an option. The country's image is being damaged by these performances
DJW, we need a change desperately, I hope you are hearing loud and clear. Lasana please put pen to paper

Deekos,
I have faith in DJW making at least SOME improvement in the TTFA culture of underpreparation
Remember I am the person happiest like pappiest to see Uncle Tim gone, because a certain sickening mindset is gone with him.
No doubt things will get better even if the outgoing syndicate has cleaned out the TTFA treasury.
The future looks bright and this last U20 result is a legacy of the last admin.

Nice fair thinking Deeks.
But ... When yuh know yuh eh fit , and yuh go bun easily, then play to save energy and prevent collapse in 2nd half.
If Randy or BraveHart-like coach had that team, i believe they would have studied more how not to lose and use defense to frustrate the oppo.
You won't here me cutting dong the girls.
Sorry if I gave the impression of disrespect to the coach but a coach's job is to get results. Whether is Shabbazz, Eve, Barber, King, Cornmeal, Vidale, Issa, Spence, Creece, Russell, Latas, Gally, BraveHart.
Daiz it. Licks to the level of a "drubbing", not my words, means resign, lick yuh wounds, retool yuhself, boost up with some top football courses, beef up your defense strategy and come back in 1 yr proving to the fans that yuh have new ammunition.
.... And no, I eh taking no fatigue from no Jakan. Iz war!!!

Taking 6, especially from Jamdown, is a sign that the coach Is out of his depth, must take responsibility and do "the right thing".
Heck, even BraveHart resigned from the Canadian team after taking 6 from Honduras.
From now on only the most pipin' hot coaches should be coaching the various warrior teams.

Great news to see Attin-Johnson back. The sickening polarization, player-unfriendly vibe, HR-challenged atmosphere of the Uncle Tim / Renraw era was here, nicely corrected in this instance, by new President DJW who found a way to bring back the captain Maylee and make all the players happy. Players being happy over Sharon O'Brien being happy is more important.
How many of us would have been prone to say "eff Maylee, leh we overs she, and call her shittong anyway" like Uncle Tim and disciples would?
Again we see again why Uncle Tim had to go and why we must be prepared to change from our old ways.

Well done DJW, Narada and all those who helped with the new DJW-led beginnings of cultural changes post-election.  We should continue to embrace you DJW not fear you. More delegation of leadership is needed to be given to those with real talent and get rid or reposition old stooges who eh wukkin'.
