And the AGM was just in November.

Looks like the organization is following the constitution so fans need to focus on the persons who have the power to make things happen or at least signal that there are boundaries not to be crossed by the President.

DJW hurdles AGM; TV cash vow mutes concerns about Hart and TTFA’s secrecy culture

Downer refused to be appeased with piecemeal information at the AGM and, at least temporarily, stood his ground. So, John-Williams put it to a vote.

Did the TTFA’s general council agree with the board’s decision to remove Hart as Soca Warriors coach?

There were three abstentions—Northern FA president Anthony Harford felt he could not vote without detailed knowledge about Hart’s dismissal—but, otherwise, the general council agreed that the coach’s time at the helm should come to a close. Even Downer voted along with the pack.

Tobago's "Top" FIFA listed referee Keon Yorke cautioned a player in a match last season. Failed to dismiss him, but in his match report stated that the player threatened and abused him. "He doing shit".  Yes we've reached a new low because the Disciplinary Committee of the TFA suspended a player with a yellow card to 9 games suspension and a fine of $100.00. The TTFA remains silent and unresponsive on the matter. Welcome to the new world of football in TT.

I thought there would be some erudite referee among us who would tell me I got it wrong.... This is a real struggle

Don't know much about the law side of football.

However, moving forward, is there anyway a new TTFA board can add/modify the constitution that if a new board replaces an old one, then all contracts (coaches, etc) with the previous board becomes null?

This way the new guys do not inherit the old problems and debts.

This will eliminate any coach signing long-term and past regimen being spiteful and giving coaches long term contacts even if they didn't warrant it.

Every 4 years in election and it should be up to the new TTFA to keep or cut ties with coaches, etc...

Just asking.
