Football / Re: David John Williams Thread.
« on: December 18, 2016, 07:49:02 PM »
In his comments at the press conference yesterday, Mr. John-Williams stated there were 15 to 20 to 25 applicants for the position of head coach of the NT. This lack of specificity was (1) notable and (2) unfortunate. It detracted from transparency and clarity in sharing a basic element of the behind-doors process, and somehow undermined the TTFA' s prior mention of 29 applicants for the job.  Fifteen (15) being half of thirty (30), it's difficult to get the one confused with the other. I am hopeful that the media asked the pertinent questions at their private question time.

Why does any of this matter? Certainly because doubt has been cast as to whether there is sufficient arms-length between the president's budgetary considerations and the Technical Committee's technical-tactical considerations.

As much as I see that Saintfiet is being sold as a junior or cheaper Troussier, it's difficult to assert that the number of applicants for the position is a positive reflection of the regard in which T&T football is held, and still have such a chasm in quality between your asserted candidate of first choice and your selected candidate of second choice.

Anyone left with the conviction that Victor Montagliani, in his capacity as president of the Canadian federation, would have endorsed Saintfiet's appointment for the Canadian NT?

This guy is no Benito Floro, and he is no Stephen Hart. Jamaica wouldn't hire him.

I am hopeful that the private media conversation resulted in a sharing of metrics other than affordability.

re: lack of specificity of the number of applicants. ent de simple explanation for that is that some of those "applicants" were solicited?

Heavy propaganda about this. The briefings by the State department.... when a lot of the public rather believe the putative enemy than the State Dept, how bad is their credibility?

good MLS representation.

“The squad is made based on my style of play but also on  consultation with several people of the technical committee, local coaches and other local people involved in football here.

Rel kicks yes...asylumseeker better than DJW...atleast he give de man ah Bligh...til the 28th...you beat him back in truth...

I can't imagine the pressure this fellas under yea...I optimistically await these 2 GC games...see what he does...any friendlies in the works??

He is under no pressure, he will take his money and ride out.. David on corruption...

Corruption of what though?

I can't logically conclude that DJW is purposely trying to sabotage this campaign. It benefits no one including his own administration

Tell me that he and his technical committee are incompetent, i could live with that.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

but hey, didn't it work for saprissa and costa rica? they always have a good team and their core is players from saprissa. it eh bound to fail.

Saprissa owner is President of the Costa Rica Football Federation?

point is - if players from west connection get a leg up, in the long run, who's to say the national team can't be successful?

de gripe about what the constitution say and doh say - any clause in the constitution saying t&t going world cup?

if de concern is about bobol - ah mean how many years man crying about jw. djw have skin in the game. if west connection becomes a gate keeper for the national team, nothing say that cyah work.

..Well I have said it when this man became president..I said that he will fire Hart ..bring in Stuarty..and the whole W Connection team and whoever else want to play..

The idea is to expose more W Connection players to the market place thereby putting more money in his pocket..the plan is to lock down the Trinidad market so that eventually if any player wants to leave Trinidad, the player must have de W Connection in order to leave...all transactions goes thru him and W..

it look so.

but hey, didn't it work for saprissa and costa rica? they always have a good team and their core is players from saprissa. it eh bound to fail.

Football / Re: Foreign coaches lining up after Hart’s firing.
« on: November 29, 2016, 08:09:53 AM »
I listened attentively when I heard a technical director from a CFU member association ask someone from the JFF what was the point of paying Winnie Schaffer $50,000. The question came minutes after the JFF official lamented not having a facility of the quality of the questioner's federation. He thought it would be instrumental in player development (note, this is Jamaica the land of the imported and the naturalized player: a model that has endured to varying degree across all those WC cycles).
Iceland invested in facilities and development of coaches before throwing money at a coach and it turned out pretty well for them in the long run.

Exactly. I was there in April and stayed in a hotel across from the national stadium. Their facilities are top notch and well taken care of. On top of that their coach is a part time dentist. They needed those facilities with the brutal winters and 20 hours of darkness. It's real rough for them so there's really no excuse for T&T to get things right.

pacho? ???

Count on the American media to use the Cuban exiles in Florida to paint a picture to the world that all Cubans are happy and overjoyed about Castro's death. Other International media houses such as RT are actually interviewing people in Cuba who are sad about Castro passing. But you know the American people will be hoodwinked by their media, so it go

The truth of the matter and let's be real, TNT can bring in whoever as Coach, any big name coach..... we players are not competent enough. Just look at the games, every game there are very simple basic mistakes that are made that costs us.....Not one player plays in any high-level league and it shows. A new coach can bring their own identity but the players have to execute and this is the issue we face.

Bull the players talented enough and the lack of performance was due to many factors outside the football field ...

Faddah Ab have a point. Talent there no doubt but technique is inconsistent.

La Forrest said while he feels sad for Hart, he believes the TTFA decision was influenced by the USA’s move to sack its coach German Jurgen Klinsman for poor results in their first two matches also ....

He said, “Hart was not the TTFA’s guy from the start, which has been added to the fact that he has not won a Caribbean Cup in a while, not reached the quarter-final round of the Concacaf Gold Cup and beyond, he has lost two matches in the final round of the World Cup Qualifiers and the USA’s coach was just fired” Eve said.

what this mean? spell it out for me.

lord where to start...this was a status quo candidate in a change election.  i agree with AS' assertion that undecideds did not decide this election.  i think voter turnout hurt Hillary. she counted on some sections of the electorate support but she miscalculated.  i remember 4, 8 years ago every black barbershop had an Obama poster/sticker;not so this time around.   oh well, let's see who trump puts in his cabinet, that will tell us something about his intentions

Third party voters in Florida, had they voted for Hillary, would have swung the election in her favor.  Latinos in your neck of the woods really f**k we up good and proper too.

this is the line from msnbc. doubtful.
