Football / Re: Has money change the game.
« on: November 26, 2008, 10:40:19 AM »
In some aspects it is worse and in some it is better
because of the attraction of money, generally ballers are fitter, more skillful and more willing to live the kinda life that a top athlete needs to live. This makes the game much faster and players are able to play at a high level for most of the game instead of in fits and starts
but money also has a downside, in a couple of years (i still think it is reversible) no club will be able to complete with the likes of ManU, ManC, Chelsea etc. and if top player salaries continue to rise as it is going all other clubs will just be feeder clubs to the elite few. The Prem TV money is what is pulling it away from the rest of europe, the marketing gurus are more responsible for their success than some club managers.

Football / Re: Warner cries foul with sports facilities.
« on: September 16, 2008, 12:08:22 PM »
Mr Warner is just working his political game again. He knows that this has nothing to really do with the MoS but more in the way that tenders are bid upon and awarded in Trinidad and Tobago and the fact that the large contractors are stretched thin but will never admit it to a client. The client submits the schedule and the contractor has to agree to it even if he knows it is impossible or he cannot deliver on time, in other words they get the job with whatever terms then worry about cost and time overruns. Furthermore in large jobs where there are several sub-contractors, who also gave the contractor promises they can't keep, the domino effect of overruns get very high. Government can hardly sanction these companies because we have a very small pool of contractors who can do these jobs, so it's either use them or don't do it.

« on: September 14, 2008, 06:57:26 PM »
As long as we get a result against Guatemala we will be in excellent position to make the Hex, both teams will beat up on Cuba and possibly lose against the US so this may come down to goal difference or whatever the tiebreaker is.
Btw, what is the tiebreaker?

Football / Centre of Excellence Thread.
« on: July 29, 2008, 01:33:03 PM »
In one of the "best of Jack" threads someone listed the achievement of the Center of Excellence as a plus, but I realized that i don't really have a clue as to the purpose of the compound. So what is it supposed to be used for, how is it being used (might be different) and is it a benefit to football in Trinidad and Tobago. Oh, and who controls it? Concacaf?

Football / Re: Can Jack Warner redeem himself?
« on: July 23, 2008, 06:46:35 PM »
Before I look at your list all I have to think about is that morning I called the TTFA for World Cup tickets and was directed to the Ticket office at Simpauls Travel on St. Vincent Street. Note, the operator did not say the ticket office upstairs Simpauls but say wha. I still found the correct place and was told that the "only" way to get WC tickets was through a package. This was coming from an employee at the TTFA/Concacaf office.
No one can tell me that I am crazy or that JW didn't know since while I was arguing in walked JW himself and there was no way he didn't hear me, or anyone else in the office for that matter. Do you believe that the Warners sold their shares in Simpauls while at the same time D.Warner, who to my knowledge isn't in a official position to handle TTFA WC allocated Tickets, happened to make a deal with the new owners (two women in Barataria I believe) to offer the only way to get to Germany. Did Simpauls suffer any sactions from the TTFA, or are they still dealing with all TTFA/Concacaf Travel business?
That was a blatant attempt to rip off the people of TNT and if it wasn't for journalist such as Liburd (hope i didn't misspell that) I wouldn't have made it to the WC for half the cost of that exclusive package.
In fact JW actually blacklisted Liburd from getting WC access for printing the story
So on to the list
1. Jack took a failing Concacaf from a bank balance of 50g and a single office with a few chairs, to a global powerhouse with a multimillion dollar bank balance.
Jack's power is directly linked to Concacaf, it is in his best interest to make sure that it prospers, Jack runs it like a South American dictator, if you say no then ask yourself if you believe anyone else has a chance to win the elections. Concacaf = Jack Warner and with a strong many nationed Concacaf firmly under Jack's thumb, then his power in Fifa is assured
2. He mortgaged his home, which the bank came very close to foreclosing on, to bail out the TTFA.
People always throw this out like he did all this for free, out of the kindness of his heart, TTFA has/had to pay back every cent, hence the claim a while back that if Jack request all his money right away the TTFA goes broke. Without the TTFA Jack would be terrorizing some schoolchildren somewhere. No TTFA, no Concacaf, no Fifa VP. This was a wise business decision and that is all.
3. He took in Dwight Yorke to facilitate his attendance to training session’s pre Aston Villa.
I have no knowledge of this so i'll give him it
4. He paid for Wendy Fitzwilliam's ticket and accommodation to Miss Universe in 98.
Once again no knowledge so if it's true
4. He lobbied, successfully, for an increase in Concacaf places at the world cup from 2 to 3 to 3.5.
Don't know where to place this, great for the TT/Concacaf fans but also great for the profile of JW
5. He personally sponsors more than 10 at my last count, minor football leagues both locally and in the US.
This is great (not being sarcastic)
6. He goes at length to make sure that Trinidad benefits from any and all FIFA has to offer.
like a citizen of Trinidad and the head of Concacaf / Special Advisor to the TTFA should?
7. He was instrumental in the building of the Center of Excellence.
With his record, I want to know who was the contractor, who supplied materials, how much is the yearly upkeep and where does the money comes from and is it properly audited if at all. But without any proof or knowledge then I'll just wonder what is the benefit to our footballers, I really don't know so any info is welcome. Also I would like to know who controls the facilities, Concacaf or the TTFA.
8. He was instrumental in having a U17 World Cup held in Trinidad.
Who got the TV rights? Who was a stadium contractor? Who was a caterer? Answer those questions and you will see why I dislike the Warner's
9. He was instrumental in having the current U17 Women’s World Cup qualifications in Trinidad.
Why do we have to applaud the man for doing his job, can this be a sign to just how little we expect from the president of Concacaf?
10. He was instrumental in Trinidad & Tobago hosting the annual Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Youth Cup with the participation of 21 Under-17 National teams in the 2008 event, which runs from 31 July – 10 August.
Same as 9, only two countries in the Caribbean can conceivably host the CFU Youth Cup, it is the job of Concacaf to encourage member nations to participate.
