Pro League 2nd Division on.
T&T Guardian Reports.

The sec­ond tier of the T&T Pro League has been ap­proved by the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion's five-man Na­tion­al Foot­ball Com­mit­tee dur­ing its meet­ing on Fri­day, Au­gust 30 at the Home of Foot­ball at Bal­main, Cou­va.

The Com­mit­tee al­so dis­cussed the re­quest for the on­go­ing As­cen­sion In­vi­ta­tion­al Foot­ball League to be ex­tend­ed in­to a sec­ond round, how­ev­er, the Com­mit­tee de­cid­ed against ap­prov­ing the re­quest.

The Na­tion­al Foot­ball Com­mit­tee, which was ap­point­ed by the TTFA's Board of Di­rec­tors on Au­gust 28 with wide-rang­ing pow­ers to re­view the struc­ture, ad­min­is­tra­tion, man­age­ment and op­er­a­tion of all foot­ball in T&T, com­prised of TTFA Di­rec­tors, Sel­by Browne, Ju­lia Bap­tiste, Col­in Par­tap and An­tho­ny Moore.

Ac­cord­ing to a news re­lease from the Com­mit­tee on Tues­day, the mem­bers re­viewed mat­ters re­ferred to the Com­mit­tee by the TTFA af­ter the mem­bers elect­ed Browne as chair­man and Moore as sec­re­tary.

The re­lease stat­ed, "With re­spect to the mat­ter of the per­mis­sion grant­ed by the TTFA Board of Di­rec­tors to its mem­ber club Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers FC to op­er­ate a pre-sea­son In­vi­ta­tion­al Tour­na­ment, and the fact that no re­quest was re­ceived from the mem­ber club to op­er­ate a sec­ond round of the tour­na­ment, the Com­mit­tee not­ed that a con­di­tion of the orig­i­nal per­mis­sion grant­ed by the TTFA to Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers was that the tour­na­ment will come to an end should As­so­ci­a­tion Foot­ball com­mence. The Com­mit­tee al­so not­ed the fact that the Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers FC was in­clud­ed in the re­quest of the TT Pro League Clubs to be­gin the TT Pro League 2019 sea­son on Oc­to­ber 4th, 2019."

The Com­mit­tee added that "Be­cause the mem­ber club had al­so agreed to par­tic­i­pate in the restart of the TT Pro League com­pe­ti­tion on Oc­to­ber 4th, then no ex­ten­sion of the As­cen­sion In­vi­ta­tion­al Tour­na­ment was rec­om­mend­ed."

When asked who re­quest­ed the ex­ten­sion of the sec­ond round of the league Browne said, "The re­quest to the TTFA for a sec­ond round was made by the As­cen­sion League Tour­na­ment Com­mit­tee."

Con­cern­ing the Pro League ap­proval for a sec­ond-tier di­vi­sion, the re­lease stat­ed, "The Na­tion­al Foot­ball Com­mit­tee re­viewed the pro­pos­al from the TT Pro League Lim­it­ed for the es­tab­lish­ment and op­er­a­tion of a two-tier league be­gin­ning on Oc­to­ber 4th, 2019. The Com­mit­tee, re­viewed the sev­er­al struc­tures and re­sources of the TT Pro League stat­ed in its pro­pos­al and de­vel­oped over some two decades and af­ter con­sid­er­a­tion, gave the favourable rec­om­men­da­tion of ap­proval for the re­quest of the TT Pro League to be­gin on Oc­to­ber 4th, 2019."

The re­lease al­so point­ed out that, "Com­mit­tee Chair­man, Sel­by Browne sought and re­ceived con­fir­ma­tion from the Chair­man of the SPORTT Com­pa­ny, Mr. Dou­glas Ca­ma­cho, the fact that the Sport Com­pa­ny had in its ac­count the funds ap­proved by the Gov­ern­ment of T&T for the TT Pro League Clubs par­tic­i­pat­ing in the 2019 League, and await­ed the com­ple­tion of re­quire­ments of cer­tain clubs for dis­burse­ment."

When Guardian Me­dia Sports in­quired about the FI­FA For­ward mon­ey Browne said, "The TTFA has not yet re­ceived the FI­FA For­ward mon­ey."

The re­lease stat­ed, "The Com­mit­tee al­so re­viewed the con­di­tions for which the FI­FA For­ward fund­ing would be used to strength­en the Elite Two-tier foot­ball in T&T to strength­en Pro­fes­sion­al foot­ball and to build a path­way for all foot­ball clubs to reach to the Elite lev­el of foot­ball in T&T. The FI­FA fund­ed path­way to the TTFA will in­clude all TTFA Mem­ber clubs with par­tic­u­lar ref­er­ence to the TTFA Mem­ber As­so­ci­a­tions Zones.

The re­lease not­ed that "In light of the facts out­lined, the Com­mit­tee con­firmed its rec­om­men­da­tion that the TT Pro League be­gin its 2019 sea­son on Oc­to­ber 4th, 2019."

Chair­man Browne al­so out­lined plans to con­sult with all foot­ball stake­hold­ers, in­vestors, TTFA mem­ber clubs, re­gion­al as­so­ci­a­tions, ad­min­is­tra­tors, foot­ballers, coach­es, tech­ni­cal ser­vice providers, foot­ball venue own­ers, on the es­tab­lish­ment of a de­fined struc­ture and path­way for the or­ga­ni­za­tion­al re­struc­tur­ing of na­tion­al foot­ball in T&T from the com­mu­ni­ty lev­el to the pro­fes­sion­al club.

Note that DJW stated that October 4 is not a firm date for the start of the league. It is the proposed date.

Meanwhile, the findings of Browne, Moore, Partap, Warrick and Baptiste have complied with the telegraphs they were sent. As I asserted previously, we were about to be treated to a foregone conclusion(s) masked in ceremony.

(There is a better description than "foregone conclusions" but it's not coming to mind immediately.)

Joseph-Warrick was not part of the committee. She declined the invitation.

Was it that she determined not to be party to a farce? If dahis de case, kudos to her nod to integrity.

Supposedly so.

Apparently not enough. Doh hurt yuh head. The only things missing from that list are the Labours of Hercules.

Looks like DJW tried to engage Solomon Grundy as project consultant.
