The plan is as it always was...do the same things we have done in the past and hope to get a different result this time around.
Here is the plan for 2010....this is just a high level plan...it does not go into the details of names, dates and times, but you could still use it for now.
The Pro League will do the same things...except that some fellas will change they clubs.
We will be without a coach for the next couple months, then whoever is hired will be because of who we could afford.
The new (or renewed) coach will then select about 80 players for three sessions to choose a bess squad two weeks before the next friendly game which will be against some caribbean team ranked above 120 in the world. That will just be to give the fellas a feel for the game again, and in coaching language "to see where we are at."
The team will give an uninspired performance. Some forumites will say is only the first game in a long time so men rusty. Some will say they did not have enough preparation time. Some forumites will say the PL players not ready for international football. Some forumites will call for Dennis Lawrence, Stern, Sancho and Yorke to come back in the team...and they will be serious about that too, with perfectly good explanations.
We will play most home games in the Marvin Lee Stadium and the crowd will be sparse.
Forumites will complain about the players having no heart and fight in them, about the defence, about the attack, about the midfield.
Forumites will complain about Jack Warner, Camps, Corneal (all 3 of them), Skeene, Lincoln Phillip, TTFF and FIFA on the whole. McCormie would get some criticism in there too.
Forumites will be complaining about the cost of tickets, venues and team selection and threatening to boycott games, but as soon as a game is advertised, they will be the first to call TTFF head office to find out about booking tickets online. They will be told the site is not ready yet. Either way forumites will fork out their hard earned monies and pay to go to the games anyway. They will leave the venue cussing and promising never to go to another game, then flock to the forum to read the TMR (Touches Match Report).
Most forumites will agree with Touches' analysis and report, but some will say he being too negative.
Forumites will continue to make predictions about scorelines and qualifications for the various tournaments and will generally be wrong about them. That will continue to do it again anyway.
That is the plan for 2010.
