So who will be our new Head Coach? There will be jubilation throughout the land!

@GoP @Thomo if we have no games scheduled we should have a training camp at the very least. Yorke can start to instill his ideas and style of play to the players. Heck let them play a Pro team, don't waste the window with idleness!

[Cocorite]

This is much better TTFA. A move in the right direction if we want to be taken seriously at all

[gawd on pitch]

Yes soccerman, this should be an opportunity to bring the players in for some kind of training. Hopefully a Edwards was thinking ahead and working on something to bring a friendly to fruition.

Good move by the TTFA. But will we see the "Yorke effect"? That is players with TT roots making a move to play for the national team. . We'll see if this takes place. Because apparently there are a few that can come in to the team. The only ones I've seen identified are a bunch of under 20s.

Yorke is a coach with a chip on his shoulder as he identified in his documentary, Black coaches aren't afforded the same opportunities he said, so now to make a World Cup would be a huge accomplishment for him as a coach also, so he will be very driven. He knows what it is to play at the highest level and on the biggest stages, so he could pass that on also. He knows our culture and how to make it through (even with our limers life culture) so he would teach the players how to push hard.
I'm on board with this move and eagerly await his staff selections and what a good scouting team finds (especially for the DM and Defensive side of the park).

Player wishlist for Yorke:

2 CB (one at least MLS level and above)
1 DM (at least MLS level and above)
1 AM (at least MLS level and above)
A fit Levi who won't get injured

Staff Selection
Stephen Hart as special consultant/technical director on Part time basis (Yorke will need as much insight as he can get). Hart is kind of available. He's only doing an assistant position all the way in Portland. I think if a proposition like that arrives on Hart desk, he may consider. .

Congrats to the smiling assassin
1.How long will his grace period be
2.Takin bets on long long it will be before...he hits the fire the coach thread..😰
All jokes aside l want Dwight to succeed here for many different reasons...chief among them...we just have to hit rock bottom...so we can begin to look up..and begin to scare some powers again...this starting over process needs to get checked...all the best Skipper you are going to need it

[ABTrini]

Congrats- son of the soil- successful player  now have to parlay this into success as a coach.


Tons of world class experience- exposure to world class coaching fom playing days-

[/list]player preparation for big time games

• would know if players spend the night out nightclubbing

 Now back to recyling with a twist- All these fellas could now learn from past experiences
Now to surround hom with some capable locals:  Dennis Lawerance, Lincon Phillips, Stephan Hart- and throw in a foreign assistant coach ( Not T Fenway)

Let me throw 3 names in the mix here and hear your thoughts:
1) Desevio Payne (28)
2)Deron Payne (22)
3) Devyn Payne (19)

3 brothers.... 3 defenders... playing in Holland, father in Trinidadian. So let's pray we get these 3 (or at least 2) on board to solidify our defense.

[Controversial]

congrats to Yorke

Now we will have to see who he selects and his staff

I want him to succeed but intl football is political and I hope he can deal with unfairness and sabotage

[gawd on pitch]

@Marcus, how are they not being scouted? I think the older brother was playing in the top flight in the Netherlands before the team get relegated. 

At the same time too, we got to be cautious bringing in European based players. It takes them sometime to get adjusted to playing in Concacaf. Suriname is now finding their legs with the Dutch players.

This is something we have to do if we want qualification. That is beat these teams who have beat us and will be gunning for qualification:

- Costa Rica
- Jamaica
- Panama
- Honduras
- Haiti
- Suriname
- Curacao

We have to beat those teams to qualify.

[Controversial]

@gawd

once again are we paying our players? We have players like Fortune and others in Europe in France that the US national team is scouting. But TT doesn't even have a modern system and they hard pressed to pay the players 100 per day..

That's why we are losing to other teams, the ttfa is set up for failure

We have never beaten JA and Costa in WC play

We have to beat those teams to qualify.

Yorke needs to scout our best players, right now they are not being scouted and when they are, they are not paying them and the professionalism is not there
