Sam - So David, how did you pull it off, to win elections.David - Sam, I doh like you, but I feel I will answer anyway because people need to know. If you notice my vice presidents plus Sharon O’Brien were all part of the zones and voting panel and all the people who I am hiring were promised a position with the TTFA, so I have to fulfill my promise, even Dexter Skeene, Muhammad Isa, Stuart Charles, Bertille St. Clair, Jinelle James and Jamal Shabaaz voted for me. The two votes I could not win North East Stars and Point Fortin Civic did not show up because they know I was going to win. So its only fair to have to help does who help you, because if wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here. Look at Dexter Skeene, he eh know he ass to he elbow and he is we chairman, Bertille in he dying bed, Isa is about 90 and O'Brien is a good person who can do dog work effectively so my hands could stay clean, everybody need a yes man,,, or yea oman in this case,,,, ah promise Maylee ah wok too,,,,,Look Richard Hood from Police FC also voted for me,,,,,,,
Sam - So you won illegally, against the TTFA constitution, yuh don't have to answer, just whistle if is true.David -
Sam - So who nominate you, How can a not in compliance with the TTFA Constitution and not eligible to vote be allowed to nominate a person seeking office? Out of the 6 regional associations (18 delegates), 3 will have fail to hold their elections and ratify their constitutions by the October 25 deadline then this would remove 9 delegates from being compliant and able to participate in the TTFA General Meeting. Under Article 24.1 of the TTFA Constitution, a majority of members, 50%, must be present in order to achieve this?David - Sam, who complaining? you see anybody complaining? People in T&T real chupid, them eh care lease or license. Ask them people in T&T, look how Leonson Lewis bigging me up, I buy boots for him and help him when he was broke after he came back from Portugal, give him wok and then fire him for Earl Jean,,,, I am effective and I am passionate about football,,,,,, T&T players riding big buss and staying in big hotel, all that will stop,,,,, we on a budget,,,, we have to sacrifice to make a betterment for de future. We even hire a chef, to make doubles for all national team, we trying it out on de women team first, because them is not priority.
Sam - Since you won elections we have the worst results since under Jamal Shabaaz as women coach under Jack Warner. We women team lost 11 vs Brazil, 4 vs Canada, 6 vs USA, 3 and 3-1 vs Mexico and our men team fail to qualify for the Copa America, we have no youth teams in training and no friendly games line up for our upcoming games vs St Vincent.David - Blame the coaches, not me, I doh pick players. My aim in for 2022, yuh eh see Stephen Hart not signing any contract, this is why I have Stuart Charles on my books, so if Hart walk away tomorrow, Charles will be right there to take ova, and by him not signing a contract, it makes it better for us, because we wouldn't have to pay him off, he will walk away for free. Jamal might be a taliban, but he is a good coach, he have the same mentality like me, I develop St Lucian players and he develop Guyana players. Look how good Caledonia doing... Look Waldrum did the best ever with de women team, but ah cah keep him, because ah dont want to pay him to be full time with de women team,so ah set him up, give him a day to sen paper work,,, I wanted his paper work 12 midnight on Wednesday, he send it 12:01 AM, so I kept his plans and fire him because he was late,,,, now we got his plans and it will be passed on to our new women coach Robin Hood,,,, yuh know de tail, rob from de rich and give to de poor,,,, and I save money in de process, because de government still paying him because he stay on as Police FC Technical director and we don't have to pay him as T&T women coach,,, allyuh watch de ladies in action soon,,, we going Olympics,,, allyuh watch Mr hood in action....
Sam - But Caledonia is de worst team in de league and they do nothing for they community even though they change they name to match they community Morvant United.David - Doh study de small stuff Sam, Jamal knows what he is doing, to plan a coop yuh have to be talented, yuh have to remember, is have plenty Guyanese and Grenadian living illegally in Morvant, so basically he helping his community.
Sam - So you going against you manifiesto?David - On paper everything does look real nice, yuh eh know that, people get fool very easily in T&T, once your paper looking nice, it go catch they eyes and they will vote for you,,,, Look at Darryl Smith, de worst sport minister we have since Roger Boyes, but people like him because he could real talk and he is de only man I know could eat 20 doubles, look at de man belly,,,,, but people like him because he smooth,,,, he went out there and shake de players hand when we play USA and them men was taken,,,,,, He go get wok soon, if Rowley fire him, he getting wok with de TTFA. I want people who I can control, man like Flex and Nigel cah wok for me,,,,, them men to serious,,,,,, they go spoil my plans,,,,, Expect to see Lasana on my books soon to,,, look every week he use to write about Tim Kee, yuh hear anything from him since I win election? If Tim kee was still in power, he woulda still be writing about de Haiti defeat,,,,,, Shaun better watch he ass, because Lasana could be here soon.
Sam - Any sponsors coming?David - Where yuh want me to get them from, meh back pocket? Once W Connection DIRECTTV and shirt deal in order, thats all I care about. I done tell Hart, pick Shahdon and Jomal or else he job on de line, we need to sell players to make money so W Connection will survive and T&T will benefit from W Connection program, so its a cycle, we win, you win.
Sam - So basically, de youth development you was talking about was really W Connection youth program then?David - Boy, you hit de nail on de head, my manifiesto say youth development, but it didn't say for whom and it also say Tobago development, thats why Bertille here, he cah even read and eh coach a team in over 20 years at this level and new era,,,,, he coaching school eh produce a good youth in ova 30 years, but thats ok, is just for show so Tobago go feel happy and de THA go pas money for camp,,, as soon as de Dight Yorke Stadium done, we go be base there.
Sam - So Stuart Charles, I see you get wok in de TTFA.Charles - Yea boy, I fed up win titles with W Connection and I wanted a new challenge, as soon as Hart fart to hard, is he wok I eyeing, I doh have de energy to do it again for W Connection, yuh eh see we eh win de league a while now, I need something new. I will get T&T to play St Lucia every friday to develop our women team, allyuh wait and see, I am de best coach in T&T,,, look, I doh even get up off de bench when my team playing, because they know what I want from them,,,,, my philosophy is tops,,,, I want to thank David for giving me a chance to coach his club for over 30 years,,, Sam, between you and me, yuh feel Hart go survive as long as I did?,,,, ask yuhself why,,, we will set him up to fail,,,, as soon as T&T out of de 2018 WC,,,, yuh will see a big change,,,, Hart not getting any new players, he have to work with what he have,,,,, Tell DeLeon, Innis and de rest, we good, we have Shahdon, Jomal and Gomez coming up....
Sam - David, what is your immediate plans for T&T football.David - Yuh eh seeing it Sam, look Jamal, Jinelle, Bertille and Isa all work for Jack and Tim Kee so they have the experience needed to move forward. Charles also work under Jack. Dr Henderson coming to replace we current team doctor because he to fat and cah run on de field on time to see about players when they get injured,,,,,.

Sam - So I hear you still eh pay de players.David - Who telling you this shit Sam?, I pay them for the time they serve under me, what happen before dont concern me,,,,, Tim kee owe them, not me...I will pay them what they deserve also, they use to make a flat pay, that will change to how much caps they have, so players will get a pay cut,,,,, yuh see how they give up vs Haiti, because they only on money,,, that Jan Michael is de ring leader and mess up against Haiti and then callin for pay,,,,, I go fire all ah them in a smart way and rebuild, yuh see de W Connection team wha went to Italy last year, that will be our senior team soon, let them continue to play shit,,, and for your information Sam, I dont want no foreign born player unless they from St Lucia,,,, we have enough talent in W Connection,,, sorry, ah mean T&T,,,,,,, (((ring))) (((ring)))....

Sam - But allyuh never even make it out of de group stages.David - Sam, you have a club?, go buy a club and you go and compete in de Concacaf league, it real hard, look Stuart Charles have been here for ova 30 years and he cah accomplish it, you feel you can. Look man, allyuh feel it easy. Wait, ah go take T&T football real far, when ah done W Connection will be de richest club in Concacaf. By de way, expect to see Jose Seabra as T&T youth coach soon. Watch how W Connection does play,,, they very effective with a formation Charles created,,, 5-5-0,,,,
