ya'll the horizon might be fast approaching? I mean from TnT pro league to even an MLS club at his age seems far fetched...

[Sando prince]

[Sam]

This is BIG news.....

[Jack Horner]

I wonder where NE Stars getting this money from to buy all these players.

I smell a rat.

I am assuming Stern John and Kelvin Jack will both make a cool $20,000.00 TT a month.

Maybe Darryl Mahabir selling more than fried chicken.

Jack will raise again !!!!!!!!

Doh worry Mr Horner. I know you smell a rat, but rest assured, Jack Warner is not involved, so there ain't no rat in sight.

But between you and I, as you seem to be the least informed person in Trinidad & Tobago, you are correct in your assumptions. I know from fact that Mahabir isn't just relying on sales of fried chicken....he also does a mean fish dinner as well as fries and drinks. Mystery solved, so you can sleep peaceful now.

       I wonder what his monthly wages would be with men like Kivin Harrison,Sancho,Jefries,Technical staff,Players (eg Stern,Jack,Roberts,Jamaica GK) anyone would ask,besides his above business i guess they have other sponsors.

Don't know. But articles have been written on him in the past in terms of his business acumen.

He also had some kind of road works contract with the govt. in the past.

NE had serious problems in the past. Never got their prize money for winning FA cup back in 2003. Had to bow out of the Con. Club Champs because of a lack of sponsorship.

I admire the direction they are taking and signing big local stars from abroad who can still perform enhances their gate and their potential to win trophies.
