Love the guy, but he should not have been the head coach in the first place. There was nothing wrong with Angus Eve, I thought he was doing quite well, the results spoke for themselves.
Yorkie has only managed one club post his playing career, that is not enough pedigree as a manager to be considered for any national team, despite winning a title in Australia. Who were the other candidates that applied for the post as head coach?
What were the criteria used to evaluate these candidates? It can’t be that a coach is selected based on his performance as a player and nostalgia.
Kenwyne Jones should be the last man criticising his style of play, he and his staff have allegedly paid nearly half of Machel Montano’s selfless donation to QRC, and his only achievement is keeping QRC schoolboy team out of relegation.
Now hearing that Keith Rowley was a part of the negotiations is shocking, because any negotiation involving him is a disaster waiting to happen.
Keith Rowley knows nothing about football, obviously other coaches like the one who got Curacao qualified for the World Cup earned way less, anybody with HR experience will look at the earnings of positions similar before offering any contract. I suspect Rowley did that for political points leading up to the last election.
Is Brian Lara his agent or manager? Why was he involved? No wonder football in Trinidad and Tobago cannot become professional, because the TTFA is always losing money through lawsuits and legal claims.
Now they have tainted Yorke’s legacy. Why Latapy too? Why is PNM councillor Derek King still involved? Again, no wonder football cannot become professional, friend and family and who knows who.
I blame Yorke too, why not use his influence to get players like Jadon Sancho and Levi Colwill to switch allegiance to the “Carnival Kings”. Speaking of that, what is the status of the new name for the National Team?
I suggested Feteballers, thinking of it now, the suggested names in the survey seemed like names prepared by some AI software, nothing unique, generic and ran through.
Heads must roll, resignations must be handed in and anything or anyone related to the PNM must stay far from the TTFA.
