Unfortunately those guys will never leave/resign from the TTFF executive on their own accord!

The TTFF is a gravy train and offers power and a relatively privilege life style for most of them!!
Government money, FIFA money and Sponsorship money (when tournaments come round and we are doing well) means that those guys will never resign from the TTFF executive on their own accord!
They need the position and power so they can continue to fill their pockets while retarding the development of our football, that’s their proven track record over the years and this will never change!

These guys have to be forced out democratically via the clubs and regional football associations so if we really want change that's where we need to focus first in order to stamp out corruption and lack of democracy and eventually being able to remove these corrupt self serving fellas in charge at the TTFF!

Doesn't look like the government will allow the TTFF to go bankrupt while Anil and Jack are in government! And we can’t rely too much on the 2006 WC players court case against the TTFF making them declare bankruptcy either because Jack and them could have influence on the judge leading the case with regards to giving them time to make the payments by installments!

Folks here who are based in T&T and complaining and really want change need to join the action and lend support to what the poster called "President" has been calling for on this forum over the past few months!

There is no other way so if we don’t want to heed what he is saying and join the action to help bring about that change via the clubs and Regional Football Associations especially if we are based home then we are not really serious about bringing about change in the TTFF and should stop complaining!

can you justify the title " international calibre national team coach " ? I am a little lost here ....

Justify? Or explain?
My reason for saying international calibre is that we all know that a local coach isn't going to cost anywhere near what Pfister is making. So if we were to bring in someone else what is it likely to cost us? And the reason I ask is that while I agree that $50k US/mth is plenty money, I don't think it's a lot for the job in question. I might be wrong as I don't actually know what national team coaches make so I was hoping somebody could point it out.

aye pro ah not at home hence why am asking if we can be part and parcel of the voting process ......providing out here cannot its time for all de old talk back home and actions to count, ah feddup with the b.s  yuh think i doh know dem officials  doh want to give up de niceness and the champagne , wine and whiskey , not to mention all the perks that come with being ah offical with the ttff...... ah hope  brent sancho along with all potential candidates albeit such  listening..... hope they doh think for a minute if anyone of dem come to be an appointee at some point in time its gonna be the same old same old  they better think again. its gonna be real noise no holding back for them either .. so mister  sancho and others all due respect to you but make sure u guys listening , we watching with hawks eyes.... we tired of the

But Mose you can't use the US coaches, as they are always in Qualifier mode and always playing at a high level, hence their need for a top quality coach. Put that along side the decent developmental structure they have and it's makes it even more of a far reaching stretch to equate our needs of a coach with theirs.

But I never said anything about US coaches elan. I only referred to the $50,000US/mth that Pfister is being paid.

- Oscar Washington Tabárez (Uruguay): 300,000
- Kim Jong Hun (North Korea): 250,000
- Shaibu Amodu (Nigeria): 180,000

Pfister's salary falls just in the the lower half of that.
All things being equal, he is being paid very well.
When Carlos Quiroz was being interviewed for the job, he decided on Iran instead of the Warriors, you can see why.
Also note to mention is that some international coaches are paid very high who not on that list, eg Rijkaard-Saudi Arabia (5million a year), Guus Hiddink-Turkey (11 million a year), Jose Camacho-China (8million a year) etc etc.

IMHO, Pfister's salary is justified. Whether he is the right candidate is another question.
