WARRIOR SUPPORTERS CALL TO ACTION

[grskywalker]

We find ourselves once again in a position where we represent the voice of the people. Another Football crisis has occurred and we all should be in the forefront of a consolidated response to the events that have unfolded.

I call on members to openly voice their concerns via letters to the editors of the local dailies, EXPRESS, GUARDIAN, NEWSDAY sys sync with a strongly worded letter to the TTFF to account for their actions and provide AGAIN an open book of financial standings to ascertain the income and expenditures as of MARCH 7TH 07.

We cannot sit back and watch our teams placed in jeopardy, as we are on the verge of the Gold Cup this summer, with a solid chance to advance to the latter rounds. TALLMAN, FLEX, TOUCHES, OCONNOR. Contact all yuh peeps to make this happen. Lisana, Fuentes need to hear our concerns.

Is it finally time for new blood to come in to the TTFF and save this organisation and our football from slipping after all the WARRIORS have accomplished for them

Now's the time to form a new football association (minus the current TTFF management). A new organization with complete transparency.

as well we have to free ourselves of the corruption at the top
Until we do, nothing go change as we all know
Winnipeg Fury, if you read this, do you know where the funding comes from for the Canadian program??

They (CSA) signed a deal with CIBC (bank) a while back for $4.3Million

There was also a deal with "tide" back in 2002 called the Tide Mini Soccer Program.

Maybe the key is to place pressure on the corporate sponsors because though the TTFF is private, once they are providing money I would hope that they would have a built in clause in their contract that the TTFF has to provide a full account of funds. If their reputation is in jeopardy maybe they will stand along with the gov't on this.

thanks jumbie ah was sure CIBC was involved big time, just not sure the amounts
but say what as long as we have a thief at the top dont matter whear the money come from it go end up in the same place
Im against govenment money tho

If i owned a company in Trinidad and had the money, i would say alright here the money...but under one condition JW is gorn and i get access to the books.
Anyone or government would be an ass to give money to the TTFF the way it is run now

[Socapro]

Yes Jack was great to our team during the World Cup but guess what he was feeling good about making a few more millions and was simply throwing back some crumbs, just ask he son bout the ticket scam!

So to Shaka, Carlos and all the other World Cup players who feel that our T&T government need to give the TTFF blind money I with our govermnet in saying no accountablity no money!

The theifing and lack of accountablity must stop today!!

[weary1969]

Most of the other sporting bodies in the country get most of their money from the government through the Ministry of Sports (MOS).  Any additional funds (believe it or not) does come from cake sale and barbeques or the occasional fete.

Generally what happens is that the sporting body sends a proposed budget for the year based on what the perceived activites would be.  The MOS totals everybody request and then lobby for funds from the gov't.  The gov't will then allocate monies according to the national budget.

Some years ago FCOTT was set up to handle all financial matters related to national football teams.  Needless to say that kinda gone through the window now.  I think the name change to the Sports Co of TT now (could be wrong here).  Anyway this organisation is now responsible for disbursement of funds to ALL sporting organisations under the aegis of the MOS.  The head man made an announcement last week that all sporting bodies must send their proposed budgets, and documentary evidence to support all expenditures...failure to comply would result in no further monies being disbursed.

Football has always been the main benefactor from gov't funds, primarily because it has the highest profile.  The gov't already give TTFF close to TT$100M in the last year (including WC bonuses).  The successful TT cricket team ain't get no where close to that, and all the other sporting bodies crying out for funds now.  Very few of them have any kinda corporate/private sponsors...cake sales keeping them alive.

Now's the time to form a new football association (minus the current TTFF management). A new organization with complete transparency.

That is how the TTFF come into being some odd 20 years ago.  We had the TTFA and then TTFF come to fight up.  Now is just TTFF.

Do not think this is correct here pardners

TTFA rebranded as TTFF a couple years ago to avoid some debts dey incurred.... (bobol)

[CK1]

Declare the TTFF administrators incompetent; liquidate all assets; pay the creditors (coaches and players) form a new federation headed by Shaka. No former TTFF cronies allowed.

[sjahrain]

That may be easier said than done,they have been sucking at the breast for so long it will not be easy to wean them and you know they not going away without a fight,trust me this will have to get much worse before it gets any better
All you know Jack bad mind,he will make it real miserable for whoever overthrow him

FF, I eh discounting wha yuh saying, as a matter of fact I stand to be corrected.  I was just a yuteman at the time, but I remember teams like ASL and few others breaking away from the TTFA (the then ruling body) and forming the TTFF because of corruption.  I actually remember those teams having they own leagues.  If memory serve me right, I think TTFA said they woulda ban any team that play against any TTFF teams.  I can't remember exactly why eventually the name ended up as TTFF though.  I do know it wasn't a couple years ago though...

Older folks...shed some light nah !

[Big Magician]

leh we pull off ah " hunger strike " like choc'late....but we go eat doubles and then go down by the TTFF
