IT WAS reported that Bertille St Clair was fired as Trinidad and
Tobago's football coach on March 30, following the team's poor run of
form in the CONCACAF World Cup Final Round Qualifications. But, like
the American Terri Shiavo, St Clair's reign as coach was actually in a
comatose state long before his removal. In fact, St Clair's role as
coach really ended on November 20, 2004, following a three-hour long
"Meeting of the Minds" at the Dr Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence,
Macoya, Tunapuna. The meeting, which was hastily arranged by Trinidad
and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) special advisor Jack Austin
Warner, came three days after a 2-1 victory over St Vincent in a World
Cup qualifier at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo a match
described by many who saw it as one of the worst displays by a TT

FOOTBALL fans I'm sure are of the view that newly-appointed coach
Dutchman Leo Beenhakker has been contracted for the long term. This of
course is not to say that the Trinidad and Tobago national football
team will not qualify for next year's World Cup tournament in Germany,
because their chance is as good as any this time around. But surely
Government's intervention will be a key ingredient if they are to
qualify for a World Cup finals. If not for next year, then in the
future, and it calls for a significant amount of funding for the team.
Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation's (TTFF) special advisor Jack
Austin Warner, has made it clear he will pay the salaries of the
coaches which include assistants Russell Latapy an ex-national captain
and midfielder, and compatriot David Nakhid, among many others.
