"Happy" New Year everybody. Allyuh see where the quotes are.
Boy oh Boy. Nepotism to the max. Yuh know when Jack and he US VP of Concacaf moved the HQ from Quatemala to NY, I whole heartedly agreed(gulp!!!). Concacaf needed a shake up. Mex and the Central Americans were running ruff-shod over the Caribbean, on the field and in the decision making. On the field, I had no issues, They were simply better than us. But in the decision making, we(Caribbean) use to get the shitty end of the stick. But Jack appointing his son in the decision making post in Concacaf will not not help us on the field. We have to earn that. No amount of meddling and nepostism will get us to Rio or London. What will Jack do again, create a guest pass for TT to play in the WC.
We cannot do it on the field with an incompetent administration that victimizes players etc, can we?
If we generally want to blame our players then we should at least put in place a proper development plan to help improve our players’ technical & game skills and develope teams at all national age groups who can compete with our top CONCACAF opponents at all levels as well as at club level.
Is our league as good as or better than theirs? Are our men’s & women’s teams at all age groups as good as or better than theirs?
No one here expects JW and his crew to pull strings on the field of play for our players if they are not good enough to compete or beat their top CONCACAF opponents but that does not resolve them (the administration) from blame for the many reasons why our players and teams are not good enough and failing to address them!
As it is now becoming clearer, T&T football is a private family business and every now and then the head of the family business will scream to the ministry of sports to make a donation towards coaches salaries etc in their private enterprise! Do we get to see accounts or have a say in how they run their private business? Of course not!!
http://www.socawarriors.net/forum/index.php?topic=47714.0I’ve made up my mind until things are sorted out in T&T football that I might be better off for now supporting Canada!!
Now go SH go, yuh have my full support!!
