There is a rumor out there that Jack is financing one ofTimKee's challengers hence the Sunshine article and the TTFA Exec signed letter. Any ideas which candidate it might be???
'This player earns £50,000 per week, or around £2.5m a year, and at the moment his take-home pay is a shade under £30,000 per week,' he said. 'When the 50p tax rate comes in, he will be around £4,000 per week worse off playing in England than in Spain, where there are no planned tax rises.
Interesting about Spain
I wonder which teams have won the UEFA Europa Cup 4 of the past 6 years?
English teams?
If English teams so close in standard from top to bottom, then it stand to reason that even if they can't do well in Champions League, they should be a lock to lick up all dem "lesser teams" in Europa League ent?
Sevilla and Valencia dem eh nutting. De likes of Stoke and WBA would regularly wipe de floor wit den Spanish teams. Doh talk fuh de likes of Spurs and Liverpool. Advantage.
I can confirm 100% that the TTFA do not have any decision in Stadium policy as SPORTT operate the HCS.
All the planning for the game including entry points and way of entry is done via SPORTT.
I figured so!
That is a plausible explanation. Respect.
Case in point....Ronaldinho who reportedly vetoed a move to Man U
Yes, I am Tim Kee. Wha yuh go do now? All of a sudden you sow up on site and playing police, where you was all de time, or... we have a game coming up...
Glen spoke and nothing happen, no one even fart on him. De thing is, what was de purpose of it 3 days before we important games? Sour grapes if you ask me.
Maylee always have a problem, not just now, but all de time, she friend Sancho should help she now.
No body play for pride no more, de team never accomplish anything but they complaints.
Play for your country and qualify for tournaments, money will come. Is not like de TTFA is stealing they money, they broke.
Her ticket was subsequently reimbursed by the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC).
Maybe somebody or parties are attempting to widen the chasm between RTK and Sheldon, so that RTK will not rehire him. I don't know. This is highly confusing.
This article is really piss poor and makes the story look like fake gossip. It does more harm than good.
Jack Warner really cant pay someone better to write for him with all that money he stole?
Poor Sheldon, so sad to see he has to take this route and id the story is real, I applaud him for standing up.
He should have used SWO or one of the T&T more recognized dailies.
Ramesh Ramdhan says it’s time to re-boot the TTFA.
Ramdhan Press Release.
Former international referee Ramesh Ramdhan today officially launched his campaign as he bids to become the next president of the Trinidad & Tobago Football Association (TTFA).
At a gathering of sports media, zonal representatives, representatives of TTFA and supporters at the Trotters Sports Bar and Restaurant in Port of Spain, Ramdhan presented his vision and 4-year plan to recapture the heights of Trinidad and Tobago football reflective of our legendary qualification at the 2006 World Cup.
Central to Ramdhan’s 10-point plan is re-engaging corporate T&T and the implementation of a good governance structure. Ramdhan says he wants to ensure consistent qualification of T&T teams at the World Cup and the commoditization of sport through sport tourism.
Ramdhan described the current state of national football today as “lacking proper plans and processes and plagued by weak financial systems.” He said, “It is my commitment to re-boot the TTFA through strong leadership and clear direction to rebuild the TTFA’s image and reputation both at home and abroad.”
Ramdhan stressed that his vision is one of inclusivity. He said, ‘There will be no unilateral decisions under his leadership as success can only come through participation by all stakeholders.”
Lending his support to Ramdhan’s bid is businessman and owner of Trotters, John Sabga who is seeking election to the position of 1st Vice President alongside Ramdhan. Sabga has been involved in football for over 18 years having served as both referee and coach to the American Youth Soccer Organisation (AYSO) and as sponsor and manager locally.
In his address to attendees, Sabga said, “What football needs is someone with true passion for the game, a love of country and a vision to resuscitate the sport… I know that we can return the glory to the sport and Ramesh is the man to do it.”
Ramdhan pointed out that Trinidad and Tobago is in the midst of World Cup preparations and has promised to utilise all available resources to support national coach Stephen Hart, as the national football vies for a place at World Cup 2018.”
Ramesh Ramdhan is the first Caribbean national to ever have officiated in a World Cup final. He has over 30 years of experience in local, regional and international football and is the recipient of the Trinidad and Tobago Hummingbird Silver Award for contribution to sport.
RTK making heself look like ah real jackass in the final moments of his presidency. If he is not careful he will undo any appreciation that existed as a result of the positive direction in the team since he came in.
Well upfront I stated my position in another post, so I have nothing to hide. And if I'm biased, that's my right. At least I'm out in the open. But that does not take away the fact that the CONTENT is poor. And in online media Content is King. (And I can speak from a level of authority on the subject) I've said throughout that the website was not bad, just incomplete. Have you read the information on the tabs? I think not. Where there is Information most of it is irrelevant or outdated. So I guess if you don't know better you may say it's populated.

Store – Coming soon???
Don't ask for the info under the teams. I could go on. but that will take too much time.
The reality is the website needs a lot of work.
And that is coming from a SWO forumite.
My associations have nothing to do with that. But I can understand why you would think so.
Irregardless, I would continue to air my views in my personal capacity as "sweetiepaper". That's what a forum is for. I have reserved my "campaigning" for the other appropriate thread.
I've been a member here for 10 years long before my "new affiliation" as you say. So don't rush to judge me. May not be very vocal, but when I do have something to say I speak my mind. (always used to get licks for that as a child). The website is incomplete. And that is the opinion of sweetiepaper
Okay. So I looked over the website again. It's basically a shell. Not a bad one, that can be built on. But its really just a shell. Most of the tabs have no information or incomplete. Lack of pix. Even the teams don't even names etc.
This is the equivalent to the Mayaro Fire station & Couva Children's Hospital.
Never mind it not ready. Rush to get it out before elections, so you have a next tick in your box.
How disappointing. Really hoped its fixed soon and not just another election ploy and desperate attempt by Tim Kee to hold on to power.
They need to bring Cyrus Mehri in on the conversation.
Breds, I now coming to ask who is Cyrus. I Googled, and here he is. I have to admit, I don't know the fella. And he based in Connecticut avenue in DC.

and you said.. "I personally know of Afro-Trinis who received shabby treatment in Tobgo simply because they were not viewed by the locals as having loads of money to spend."
so you're saying the people of Tobago are?
my experience is MINES! spin how ever you want.
first Indian (looking) to get good treatment in Bago. $$ talks!
From the heart of my Tobagonian bottom, you're a firetrucking idiot!!......
Valid point, Bakes ... thing is, this long has been the state of play with respect to these events. It's important that the TTFA liaise with HCS personnel to resolve with respect to events under its ambit. Same would apply to the NAAA for an international track meet. It's too basic of a problem to present a continual plague.
Sometimes toilets remain locked merely b/c ppl doh want to deal with the cleaning headache.
Now here is where they started to get it wrong.
There are at least 8-10 gates in the grounds section. Maybe they were expecting a large crowd, but they made us walk quite to arse down by the gates located opposite the marriot.
Ok, no scene maybe they didnt want congestion by the stage area out front...but get this they had only 2 gates open, yes two, so the lines were long long and snaking. A quick digital scan and you were in; but then you have to walk further west to access the staircase so essentially you enter the grounds section past the goal post on Movietown side.
No scene;but I was looking to take a pee before the game, wha bout the bathroom on that side lock. Ok start to walk again, second bathroom by jean pierre lock, believe the only male toilet open was the one past all the vendors near the corner flag on the clock side of the stadium.
man..i just tell you where my focus is/was, which may not have been the detailed vision/version of the football association you have obviously shown to follow in detail. I have not, all I said is this to me for TTFA should not be a major issue. You say it should, cause it's the only major issue at present, all others taken care of as far as they can be. I say ok. You still asking me to help you understand my view, which you already determined to be skewed to put it nicely, you are the one who know all the in and out of the story, because u on top of this, and u want to understand why talking of this on a message board have to do with the best interest of TT..I said, from the beginning it don't , didn't i? Ok. I could talk about my main focus, but, I seriously now thinking u looking for debate, i'm not. I think even if I express what I have been focusing on, you would point out to me, waste of time or wrong..i should look somewhere else but I not afraid to learn.. I wrongly offered my opinion on what I thought might be important for TTFA at this time, u said different,I say, I have to agree with you, if nothing else more important can't be taken care off. You say, this is the only important thing. Ok..but You seem to want to argue, I don't have no argument, cause obviously I 'didn't follow story enough as u point out. I must have missed something. So I choose not to argue. You playing with me like a cat playing with a mouse, till you get fedup. ..not me padna, I done learn that lesson ahready.. I moving on, ok..I will try to keep up from now.
thank you.. I constantly change "my tune, as I "become more informed..add: wheter i'm coaching or being coached..yet..my focus is and will always be the same, OUR Country, Trinidad & Tobago..if this is your focus and is more important to you right now, then I can't deny that, in the whole scheme of things I'm sure every bit counts, if it can be added.. btw while i'm able to listen.. At this juncture, what would be the benefits to TT Football that the FA is currently seeking from this inquiry, and why wasn't it pursued before ? or was the minister exempt from such inquiry ? Harrison ? how come only now ? As it seems right now, they don't have a club to go back to..can SIS be also questioned ?
Boss, I didn't say don't ask questions, and please do not take my statements out of context. Allow me to rephrase. If I say, I am focused on the big Picture and not the trees. Am I saying a tree is a small thing and is not to be considered. Come on. If you think all they could have done with other cases is done, and now out of their hands. You are a practicing or future lawyer. You have insider info, as you always provided, and you agree all that could be done is done. Then who am I to argue different, I have to take your word for it. However, given the state of the TTFA funds, given the state of other investigations not getting comleted or moved forward. I am just saying yes, ask questions, but what's gonna happen..it's gonna go to court, it will be in investigators hands, probably all go back to court..and where will TTFA be, supporting law firms instead of football players...this one will get investigated and cleared up, this time... ok, if you say so, but let me ask you, there is not one once of skepticism, that this will go the way of all the other cases ? Just because I (or other ppl) may think differently don't make me dense or slow. Not having faith, yes, but anyway..I will start checking the barrels, even while the boat might be sinking. thank you, for the lesson.
