Where was Phillips? The Soca Warriors were honoured with a gala dinner at the Centre of Excellence a few nights ago.
The President of Trinidad and Tobago was there, together with dignitaries from around the region and as far as Africa. It was indeed a fitting send-off for the Soca Warriors but a notable absentee was the technical director Mr Lincoln Phillips. This raised many eyebrows.
Could Mr Jack Warner and the TTFF hierarchy explain why such a prominent figure in the football realm was absent or must the football public be left to speculate that it was because many of the officers who work with the Soca Warriors have not been paid salaries since last year?

Plenty soca but no salaries
by RUDOLPH WILLIAMS, Diego Martin
THE EDITOR: The Soca Warriors were honoured with a gala dinner at the Centre of Excellence a few nights ago, the President of Trinidad and Tobago was there with dignitaries from around the region as far as Africa. It was indeed a fitting send off for the Soca Warriors.
However, a notable absentee was the Technical Director, Mr Lincoln Phillips whose absence raised many eyebrows. Could Mr Jack Warner and the TTFF hierarchy explain why such a prominent figure in the football realm was absent; or must the football public be left to speculate that it was because many of the officers of the Soca Warriors have not been paid salaries since last year.
