Shaun Fuentes (I believe in charge of the www.socawarriorstt.com website) needs to be asked how the post your comments section of the website was removed and why

:. People need to explain their actions and declare their hand in this country. Every man Jack(ula) must be accountable. Mind you, I am still very very grateful for all those wonderful stories he sends this website, his great work during the campaign and the pictures he sends. But he still has to be accountable.

For the men back home who going the game vs Panama, can you guys make a banner supporting the Warriors and hang it up during the game?

I was thinking something to the effect "Warriors We Support You - TTFF Stop Robbing the Players"

It is unfortunate that in the year of our glory and at the time when we have to be aggressive in laying a foundation for WC 2010 we have promises to our heroes that are not being honored. The TTFF is capable of righting its ship and still has the opportunity to do so. The players have only asked to be treated with respect, to be free of exploitation, to allow transparency in accounting practices, to expect honoring of the contracts that they signed and to be paid whatever was promised.

TTFF has a history of inept management and lack of decorum in dealing with its players. Please find the courage to come open with accounting of revenues and expenditures. Please reveal the receipts of income from TV rights, sponsorship deals and explain where it has been distributed. Please honor the contracts.

If this situation were a one time occurrence, then, we the supporters would say okay lets move on, but this is a continuing pattern over the last 15 years. We cannot afford to see our game, and more so our heroes that got us to the ultimate dream, get disrespected in this way. Our stars are fast becoming role models and as such Yorke, Latapy, Edwards, Shaka, Stern and the rest of warrior voices are being looked upon to set the standard for the coming years. We stand with them.

This is the tipping point for us as fans. We are resolute in our support for our socawarriors. They are our heroes and the best ambassadors for our country. They have sacrificed careers to prove their loyalty to their country and we are die-hard fans who are prepared to sacrifice to do without their services in order to see a historically recurrent injustice corrected. It is impossible for them to give their heart and soul on the field while exploitation, dishonesty and misrepresentation goes on behind their backs.

This is also a critical juncture for the TTFF. Our appreciation, love and respect for our players and the sport is not something that we want you to take for granted, and we trust that you do not want to see the collective disappointments that we have accumulated over the years, brought to a head.

Again, while we appreciate all of your hard work, with all due respect, please do the right thing.

Dear Sirs,
I am a very loyal supporter of the Trinidad and Tobago Football team the "Soca Warriors."
Over the years you all have been the recepents of massive amounts of money as a result of your ability to stick together and garner the required votes to stay in office. Recent developments within FIFA and CONCACAF world have shed a very ugly light upon the going on within these organisations.
May I sugget to you all that maybe it is TIME to resign from your posts and to let people who are Honest, Straightforward, Open, and not afraid to do the right things to NOW take the reigns of FIFA away from you.
Mr. Jennings, I hope, one day WILL find information that will be of such a damaging nature that you will be FORCED from office.
So, I beg you ALL today, before Mr. Jennings finds that information, to please RESIGN.
Have a great day,

my pardner ent easy

i feel Sepp, Urs and Jack delete button and shredder does be workin overtime every day

Fellas, I understand the significance of getting this matter clarified, as well as our refusal to continue along the path that the TTFF has consistently led TT football and its fans. However, it is of great significance that we do not allow emotion to cloud our judgement, lest we are grouped with the very bunch whose policies and behavior we abhor.

Accordingly, the Warrior Nation has released a statement in keeping with the above, which appeals to all involved to let common sense prevail. This statement in addition to being posted on www.thewarriornation.com, will be sent to those resources we have utilized in the past for our press releases, as well as to the personal communication channels we have worked hard to establish with the TTFF, Mr. Warner and individual players.

Again, please let us put emotion temporarily aside and instead raise the banners of patriotism and the ability of the speedy resolution of this matter to set a standard as to how rational human beings resolve disputes.

Okay, keeping in mind the sentiments expressed by Royalian, you can use the letter at the begining of this post as a template to personally send to TTFF or anyone else you deem fit.

Thank you all for your contribution.

My letter was sent to the TTFF today via snail mail (post office). Anyone who was in Germany for the WC, would know that was a great accomplishmen and a great feeling watching your country in the World Cup we just cant let the TTTF ruin that feeling for us and other generations to come, the line has to be drawn somewhere and I think is now.

Please enusre as well that member of the team get copies to let them know that we are behind them.

I would also like to see the following

1. IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF MONIES OWED AND OR PROMISED TO THE SOCA WARRIORS

2. ACQUIRING THE SERVICES OF AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM WITH NO LOCAL TIES TO AUDIT THE BOOKS OF TTFF

3. OPEN GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR POSITIONS WITHIN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO FOOTBALL FEDERATION

4. REMOVAL OF JACK WARNER

4. Is invalid! Jack is not part of the TTFF, he is just a Special Advisor!

Better to rephase as:

4. JACK WARNER HANDS OFF THE TTFFF

CarenageBoy · « **Reply #81 on:** October 11, 2006, 02:38:26 PM »

One way for the WN to let their feeling be known is to stay away from any Joe Public home game. In fact, don't buy anything from the Warner family of companies.

dreamer · « **Reply #82 on:** October 11, 2006, 02:46:55 PM »

We might have to fine tune that to avoid collateral damage to the young .players. As you were hinting, leave Joe Public maybe, but avoid all other companies under his umbrella. That must be rigourously researched as it is more than we think.
