November 29, 2015 is the date.

Some of the nominees

Raymond Tim Kee
Ramesh Ramdhan
Clint Taylor
David John-Williams
Colin Murray (pulls out)

There are 49 voting members

Pro League (ten votes)

Super League (eight votes)

Central, Eastern, Eastern Counties, Northern, Southern and Tobago zonal bodies (three votes each)

Women’s, Referees and Futsal associations (two votes each)

Primary School, Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), Beach Soccer, Veteran Players, Coaches, Players and Trinidad and Tobago American Soccer Youth (TTAYSO) associations (one vote each)

At present, there are no active players or coaches association.

Vice-presidents, Rudi Thomas, Lennox Watson and Krishendath Kuarsingh does not support Tim Kee but I dont think they can vote, they want the post.

Sheldon Phillips could be on his way out? Tim Kee feels he does not make a significant impact and may replace him with Colin Murray or Dinanath Ramnarine.

Welcomed info. Thank you.

However, what does it "do" in actuality? And, who are the drivers of the organization? What is its mission? How long has it been in existence? When did it come to be 'associated' with the TTFA and TTFA Constitution? During the recent reform process or prior? What gave the organization ascendancy over other foreign-based entities? What constituent entities are part of the TTAYSO?

I was asking why Colin Murray pulled out. But now I see that he may in line for a hot seat post, quelled my query. Who is Ramesh Ramdan? I have heard the name, Clint Taylor before, but is vague about him.

Honestly speaking, I think there should be more nominees. After 25 yrs of despotic admin., now is the time for some fresh faces. If they don't win now, next four they will be familiar to us. I kind of disappointed.

Glad for attention being paid to this thread.
Must try to end the reign or block the progress of any candidate that is the poster child for:
1. Rampant corruption, nepotism and cronyism that WILL, make no mistake, kill our football. We were almost out for the count and had a sliver of a chance to seize this opportunity that came from a timely convergence of forces that ended a certain dictator's-ship ... for now.
2. Obstructionism to transparency and accountability.
3. Continuation of the cancerous deceitful culture of Renraw/Jackulito/Scampito/Rodent.
4. Secrecy, dishonesty and lost trust from the fans and potential sponsors causing prolonged crippling business & marketing failures. I have many family members that I cyah convince to put their money into a Hasely Crawford stadium game due to distrust and perceived betrayal. Very sad.
5. Disrespect of the players who struggle to eat ah food and dodge bullets in their unsafe neigbourhoods on their way to practice while the executives live in a cocoon of comfort, feed at the porcine trough, travel first class and stay at 5 star hotels, eating more than they can digest perversely, like Roman emperors at a gladiator game.
6. Covering up the crimes of the past that had anything to do with missing funds & siphoned-off monies
that ended up in suspicious bank accounts or in illegal transactions.

Look ting boy!!!
De ink eh fully dry from the above post earlier today and breaking news gone an' buss on de TTFA!
Breaking news from another thread today saying that Uncle Tim fyah his righthand man and now is really Shell DONE!
Hours till nomination deadline to run for TTFA. What an interesting convergence of issues people.
Intrigue as the desperate person/ people reveal themselves. Uncle Tim had to be real desperate to get rid of Shello presumably before an inside coup happened or more about him and his true populariy got exposed.
People, Uncle Tim is reinforcing to us that he must be let go. Seize the moment and make a change!

Looking at the present candidates it looks like Tim Kee will win the election if it was held tomorrow. Will Sheldon Phillips run? We shall see

Here is what cyah hurt:

Two or three local-based, arrange with each candidate to do an interview on camera with no holds barred. Ask pointed questions in a professional manner. Make it a useful, transparent conversation and have them (as prospective stewards of the game) speak to the footballing public and the forum (as stakeholders).

We could move forward from there.

Who down? We have posters with the skill sets to get the most out this. Lehwe do this.

I like this! The candidates need to run their campaign to get votes so this will be the ideal time. Maybe we can even suggest interview questions for candidates as well.

Taylor joins race for TTFA president
By JONATHAN RAMNANANSINGH (NEWSDAY).

THE RACE for the presidency of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) continues to gain momentum as first vice-president of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Referees Association (TTFRA), Clynt Taylor, became the latest sporting enthusiast to announce his candidacy for the role as head of local football.

Taylor is no stranger to TT ’s competitive football circuit and forested administrative duties since he is also the present secretary of the TTFA Referees Department (South) and has been an active referee for the past 22 years.

And with the TTFA Annual General Meeting scheduled for November 29, Taylor is hoping that his detailed background in Information Technology, Law and as a former independent Local Government candidate for Quinam/Morne Diablo (2010 and 2015), will significantly boost his chances of securing top position at the financially strapped fraternity.

“I am pleased and honored to announce my candidacy for president of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA),” explained Taylor yesterday. “During my years as a football administrator, I gained an understanding of the complexities of our unique predicament in football here in Trinidad and Tobago, including the TTFA’s capabilities and limitations.

In my candidacy, I see helpful and positive roles for the presidency.” With his last minute submission for candidacy, Taylor became the fourth applicant to contest the presidential role, as Veteran Footballers Foundation of Trinidad and Tobago vice-president Selby Browne also revealed his intention to join the race on Wednesday.

The will also be going up against DIREC TV W Connection president and CEO David John-Williams and incumbent president, Raymond Tim Kee, who has also sought to seek re-election.

Taylor outlined a detailed 10-year four point plan to which he intends to wow the voting population. “Most importantly, the primary role for me as the president will be to be an advocate for the people of Trinidad and Tobago in restoring decency, and integrity in the Association by removing the alleged stain of corruption, greed and selfish gains that pervades our ‘footballing’ community.” He believes that there are many issues that will come before the executive in the next four years.

They include but are not limited to financial issues, football development, international and local image, institutionalisation of departments and committees and self-sufficiency programmes.

In addition, Taylor thinks that the TTFA needs to strengthen its regional, community football, Beach Soccer, Women, Youth and Futsal programmes and all National Men and Youth teams. Taylor revealed that he possessed the ‘people skills’ that can be used to bring people together toward common goals and unity. He further indicated that the issues before the TTFA continue to be who can bring fiscal responsibility, accountability, transparency with sound judgment, to the organisation.

Lord put a hand and see us freed from the depressing millstone of the secret cabal of Uncle Tim and his little army of supporters who must feel bonded by God knows what. At this point some change, just of the culture of that rotten TTFA place, is crucial. We understand that no human replacement will be perfect, we all have flaws, but please Lord, we cyah take it no more. To Selby and maybe the rest of the 1/2 decent others or even the obviously weak candidates, please put your best foot forward to rid us of this cancerous Renraw-flavoured curse. Please give us discernment and help us to sniff out the Renraw-ites, whom like Trojan-horse cockroaches & corbeaux, could be coming out of the woodworks hidden as waggonists on a ticket, to feed on the high protein carrion opportunities presenting at the TTFA.

If I were a stranger to T&T Football and read some of these posts I would swear football has gotten markedly worse udner RTK since Jack left. I have no issue with anyone wanting to see us continue to improve but it seems like all that has happened under RTK means nothing. Whether you believe Sheldon pulled the strings or anyone else for that matter RTK is the one who presided over the association during all the positive change of the last few years. All this Jack connection talk is ah pack ah ass! Allyuh really comparing RTK to Jack? Seriously?! I eh no RTK fanboy or nothing but allyuh need to give credit where it is due. Some was bawling fuh the likes of Kelvin Jack and Sancho to be at the helm a few years back, why allyuh eh nominate Sancho and he snake padna now lol

I was expecting people from around the 2006 team to be in the running for the post of President. David is slightly older than them and he bravely throw himself into the FIFA presidential race. So what's with the Warriors, like Kelvin Jack. I doubt Sancho will vie for the post. Had he not joined the UNC, he probably would have had a good chance. Shaka eh leaving ESPN. Older ballers like Norris Ferguson? Hannibal Najaar? Alvin Henderson?
