Groden Resigns as General Secretary of TTFF.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation General Secretary Richard Groden has resigned effective May 6th 2013.

Groden has served the TTFF for fifteen (15 years) and also served on Committees in FIFA and CONCACAF. Never one to be very vocal with the media, Groden did have some parting words.

“During the 15 years I served the Federation I have seen many highpoints and some low points. There were indeed great moments.”

“Now that the matter regarding the players being paid from the 2006 World Cup campaign is resolved, I think it is opportune for me to exit and allow Mr. Tim Kee to appoint a new General Secretary of his choice.”

Groden wished the TTFF all the best and expressed his willingness to help in the future.

“One does not have to hold office to contribute and I will continue to assist where and when needed in Trinidad and Tobago football. The new General Secretary can call on my experience at any time,” Groden concluded.

All these men with all these administrative experiences and never passed it on and most likely will never pass it on. That's one of the biggest travesty of all.

Wow! Like a thief in the night. Congrats. I have know him from my days at Howard under his dad's tutelage. He has been in the football business from his diaper days. I wish him well. I hope he brings some accountability and transparency to this organization. The organization needs it badly.

From my understanding Gen Sec is an appointed position by the President. Even by the TTFF constitution.

13.3 The General Secretary shall be appointed by the Executive Committee on the
recommendation of the President.

BTW that would be one thing that could help with transparency - is publishing the current constitution on the website.

Wasn't he head of Marketing at the TTFF recently ?

Fait accompli... Truetrini actually told me about this move about two weeks ago. Supposedly he's been the one responsible for securing the recent international friendlies, as well as the Liverpool v. Tottenham preseason friendly in Baltimore last summer.

...in addition to being an active member of SW.net
