Guyana National Team Players want administrative personnel to resign
Caribbean Football Database


Editor's Note: The following is a press release from the players of the Guyanese national football team. This release comes on the heels of Guyana's participation in Group 6 of the Caribbean Cup. Prior to the playing of the matches in this round of the Caribbean Cup, it was revealed that a number of the team's players, including striker Gregory "Jackie Chan" Richardson, had declined to participate due to the fact that the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) only offered a $12 (USD) per day stipend while representing the national team. This coming only a month after the GFF had allowed their home World Cup Qualifier against Mexico to be played at a "neutral" venue (Houston, USA) while the team was still mathematically alive in Qualifying, and, allegedly, reaping a large sum of money from this move.


As players who have made tremendous sacrifices to represent Guyana we feel that the time has come for changes in the executive of the Guyana Football Federation. Two paid personnel Noel Adonis and George Rutherford are responsible for the stagnation of the game in Guyana. They have shown gross incompetence in their secretarial duties, causing players to lose their jobs and risk their contracts. They are totally disconnected from the modern game and the administrative needs of modern football and are like leeches on the GFF not to mention the huge sums of money they receive for being incompetent. They have no understanding of what is required for success from a performance perspective neither from a administrative perspective in todays game.

Aubrey Major is the hardest working member of the GFF EXCO and has demonstrated a commitment to taking the game to another level, but his efforts and all reach to nought because of the incompetence of these two men. As players we met with four members of the GFF EXCO in Houston Texas prior to the Mexico game. The players refused to play the game based on numerous issues, a written agreement was reached enable the fixture to commence, however behind our backs Mr Adonis and Rutherford vetoed the agreement with little regard for how it will look in terms of their integrity and decency as men.

Is this some kind of disease that Caribbean people are afflicted with,it was TT first now Guyana,Jamaica moving on doh so it cant be a Caribbean Affliction.How are we always putting the wrong people in top positions,we are a democracy and we vote for what we want,seems like we always making the wrong decisions.This reminds me of a little saying which I heard about the teaching profession,"those who can, dont and those who cant,do".

NATIONAL TEAM FORWARD VURLON MILLS SPEAKS OUT REGARDING PLAYERS STAND AGAINST GFF EXECUTIVES
Caribbean Football Database


Vurlon Mills, player of the Guyana National Team no longer wants to play for Guyana under the current administrators of the Football Federation . "We the players of the Guyana Football Team are being treated badly to represent the nation . Footballers of the current national program and even players before us have complained about the handling of affairs from the federation and how they continue to treat us with no respect and no loyalty.

Numerous amount of moneys are owed to players of the Guyana National Football Team . A signed agreement was made prior to the home game , against Mexico, in Texas with four(4) members of the current governing body including acting president Frankie Wilson. Mr Adonis and Mr Rutherford were not at the meeting, however when they were later informed they vetoed the descison and showed a complete lack of loyalty and integrity to the national program.
