The coach entrusted with taking Trinidad and Tobago to the Russia 2018 World Cup is not coming from South America. His last job was in Bangladesh!
In a bizarre turn of events, Wired868 understands that Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president David John-Williams is set to name 43-year-old Belgian Tom Saintfiet as head coach of the Soca Warriors at a 9am press conference tomorrow at the Marriot Hotel in Port of Spain.

So, effectively, the local football body’s idea of an upgrade on outgoing coach Stephen Hart appears to be an obscure Belgian who has never coached professionally in Europe, was kicked out of Zimbabwe and Nigeria due to concerns about his quality, lasted six months in Yemen, only two matches in Tanzania and just left a team ranked 183 in the world by FIFA—which is 105 spots lower than Trinidad and Tobago, who are 78th.
Saintfiet’s best spell arguably came at youth level when he led Qatar to the 2005 FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which was that nation’s fifth appearance at that age group competition.
His record as a senior coach is much less impressive.
At Namibia, he enjoyed his longest appointment of nearly two years. The unheralded African nation was ranked 126 in the world when the Belgian landed and he took them to a high of 101, although they plummeted all the way to 128 by the time of his controversial departure in 2010.
Saintfiet stunned his Namibia FA employers when he was officially unveiled as head coach of Zimbabwe while in the midst of a four-year contract with the former nation.
Saintfiet was reportedly wooed by Zimbabwe’s offer of US$7,000 per month, which is less than half of Hart’s pay package and roughly one tenth of the market value for a top level coach in CONCACAF—recently departed Jamaica coach Winfried Schafer was supposedly paid in excess of US$50,000 per month.

The Belgian quickly regretted his move. The Zimbabwe government twice refused its FA’s applications for his work permit—amidst a public outcry that he was no better than the local, Norman Mapeza, he replaced—and Saintfiet was forced to leave the country and beg for his old job back.
“[The Zimbabwe FA] promised me that they will talk to the NFA and it was supposed to happen sooner than it did,” Saintfiet was quoted in the Namibia Sun. “The situation forced me to lie and for that I have to say sorry to the Namibian football-loving people, the NFA and the players as well…
“We signed a contract […] and because I terminated it I have to pay them and I’m doing everything I can so that can be done. What happened was so wrong and I would love to come back and coach Namibia again.”
The Namibia FA did not take him up on the offer.
From then on, Saintfiet lasted six games in Ethiopia and barely four months as Nigeria technical director—allegedly because the Nigeria Ministry of Sport felt the country had many more competent locals and refused to support the move.
Next, he spent two months at Malawi and less than a year at Togo along with some largely anonymous stints at the odd African football club—he lasted just two games at Tanzanian club, Young Africans FC, where he was accused of failing to enforce discipline.

In April 2016, Saintfiet pleaded for a second chance as Ethiopia National Senior Team coach.
“I don’t care about the money or a contract,” Saintfiet told Eithosports. “I would just like to help change fortunes and start to build things up on a solid foundation. I’m ready to start immediately!”
Ethiopia did not bite and he ended up in a three-month contract from Bangladesh instead.
So, while Hart was preparing the Warriors—who were unbeaten at the time—to seal their place in the CONCACAF Hex against Guatemala, Saintfiet was attempting to take the “Bengal Tigers” past Bhutan and into the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup.
Bangladesh drew goalless at home to Bhutan before falling 3-1 away. The only other outing of Saintfiet’s tenure as Bangladesh coach was a 5-0 friendly defeat away to the Maldives.
Bhutan and the Maldives are ranked 154 and 176 in the world respectively.
Saintfiet’s record in Europe is even less illustrious. The only fully professional team on his home continent to ever hire the Belgian was Finnish club RoPS, who once employed Trinidad and Tobago players Ataulla Guerra and Jamal Gay.

RoPS sacked Saintfiet during their pre-season in April 2008.
Somehow, the obscure Belgian’s CV ended up on the desk of the TTFA’s technical committee as a possible replacement for Hart, who was twice listed on a CONCACAF Coach for Year shortlist in the last years, is the only coach to take Trinidad and Tobago to two Gold Cup quarterfinal berths and led Canada to the 2008 Gold Cup semifinal.
On Monday night, the TTFA’s board of directors selected him as their next head coach, as he beat out competition that included Colombian Luis Fernando Suarez, who took Ecuador to the second round of the Germany 2006 World Cup and steered Honduras to the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
Former Trinidad and Tobago captain David Nakhid was the only local believed to have applied for the vacant job while Englishmen Terry Fenwick and Ricky Hill, Serbian Zoran Vranes and Colombian Francisco Maturana were said to be among the applicants.
The board, according to a source, was informed that Saintfiet was bright, innovative and extremely affordable. It is uncertain exactly how much information was given on the three coaches before the decision. But, in the end, the board voted for Saintfiet.

The current TTFA board of directors comprises: John-Williams (president), Joanne Salazar, Ewing Davis and Allan Warner (vice-presidents), Samuel Saunders (Central FA), Sherwyn Dyer (Eastern Counties Football Union), Karanjabari Williams (Northern FA), Richard Quan Chan (Southern FA), Anthony Moore (Tobago FA), Joseph Taylor (Trinidad and Tobago Football Referees Association), Sharon O’Brien (Women’s League Football), Wayne Cunningham (Eastern FA) and Dexter Skeene (TT Pro League).
The TTFA technical committee consists of: Skeene (chairman), Dr Alvin Henderson (vice-chairman), Bertille St Clair (former World Youth Cup coach), Errol Lovell (former national goalkeeper), Jinelle James (ex-national player and current administrator) and Muhammad Isa (technical director).
It is uncertain how many members attended yesterday board’s meeting.
The TTFA board is believed to have made a second coaching appointment last night for the Women’s National Senior Team. In this case, they voted for the well qualified former Italy and Canada national women’s coach, Carolina Morace, who has already visited Trinidad.
Saintfiet must now prepare the Warriors for 2017 Gold Cup play off action against Suriname and Haiti on 4 and 8 January 2017 respectively as well as World Cup qualifying action against Panama and Mexico on 24 and 28 March respectively.
It will be the first time the Belgian has ever coached a team ranked in the top 100 FIFA nations in the world.

Satire ? Is this some sort of prank ? Lol i just don’t understand it
Absolute disgust. This is the great plan? This is the upgrade? This is a complete f**king joke!!!!
I paid $2000.00 for a season ticket, such was my regard for the team under Coach Hart, but I really think I’ll boycott the rest of matches and take the loss. And of course, never, ever support Trinidad football again!
They’re worse that the West Indian cricket team now.
Of course not part of the course
ok 2022 it is.
People let’s give the man an opportunity and see what happens. Are you a coach or Technical Director? I love meh ball and I just hope it works out. Daiz all….. Jeez Trini we not easy…
One does not need to be a coach or a technical director to realize that something not right with this particular guy’s coaching resume.
TTFA buy this coach through Rattan’s.
If true, it demonstrates the level of commitment to take T&T football to the next level. Very little emphasis on stability and success… it would be interesting to have been a fly on the wall during the deliberations leading to this decision.
all i see is failure,,,……. and by that i mean he is not good enough for the job
CONGRATULATIONS TO JAMAAL SHABAZZ, in all the distraction you got your job, well done!
When they gonna give u the job Terry? When? Smh
Soo he coached Bangladesh? Interesting. How have they been doing at football? ?
No need to answer the question is rhetorical
Buh Yuh getting on like you NOW know that Gordon? I wouldn’t lie tho until you called me out and I enlarged the pic it really did look like you so no hard feelings eh.
Info on this new Coach for the national team ……
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Saintfiet
The McDonald’s Cup sounds like a pre-season tournament… lol Malik Johnson
mc donalds cup is a charity under 12 hockey post tournamen
Devon London Dan this is one of the times where sarcasm and real life could be one and the same based on circumstances eh… lol
seriously it is
http://www.mcdonaldscup.lt/
Devon London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkMWsO_-X7Y
where is Jamal Shabaz in the midst of all of this? Usually he is here giving us his expert opinion…..i even recall and interview/article from 2014 saying that trinidad’s football had out grown the administration. Is this admin the right fit for our football Shabaz? Speak up please.
As i write this im watching a picture of Isa, The new coach….and you Shabazz….seated in the front row awaiting the beginning of the press anouncement. So lets hear from you how well this admin has done and is doing as it relates to advancing the national team.
Your views should make for some hilarious reading……in you and Isa DJW has apparently found 2 good cohorts willing to accept anything for $…….ironic for a man willing to overthrow a govt to now come and wallow in the nonsense that is the TTFA
Hahaha and six people like it eh!! Wired family like bacahnal boi!!
There’s that lost look again
Best Fenwick did get the job lol
Lasagna,
How could people in Trinidad and Tobago sit back and indulge such an outrage.
I wonder as to the concept of democracy, if any, held by the citizenry at large where such things can be tolerated.
Things just got better or worse
Let’s see what this guy can do…
Kelvin Jack i respected you as a player in 2006 and before and even now i still hold you in high esteem …… but if you could support this then sorry….. i think im slowly loosing that respect i had for you
If you have followed my comments I always say one thing.. support your manager.. he is the one entrusted with helping us qualify. The process involved and those in the position to carry our football forward and progress it are useless and totally inept. This mans track record is not good.. but what are we going to do? He is the man there now.. let’s give him support even if he is a shitong
support doesnt mean following blindly Kelvin Jack…..you should learn to differentiate. This action taken and new coach brought in can never be for the betterment of our national team and I for 1 wont be supporting that.
Sorry I can’t associate my self with failure…. If you can that’s quite alright but I cant
To blindly support this manager because it’s the politically correct thing to do suggests that as fans, we’re cool with the recent decisions made re: the team and the direction the team could be going in for the Hex.
I’m not going to hang him before a ball is kicked, however he’s going to have to win my support for sure. Especially when his track record is Onion News-worthy.
Sean that’s all I’m saying …..
I say I giving him none whatsoever
Malik Johnson Yeah. I find it hard to get on board with foolishness.
Devon the man has a difference of opinion with you and we get that but don’t make it personal. He’s not the man we should be mad at it David John Williams is….. no more …no less ….. if yuh lose sight of who yuh battling in a fight then yuh just swinging an ax and yuh cutting down friends and foes ….
It’s called collateral damage…. Win the war by any means necessary
Devon London lol whut??
Long as yuh know who yuh fighting …
If you even sound or look like yuh fighting for the enemy I cutting yuh down immediately
Fellas.. Devon.. politically correct? Me? Kelvin Jack? Everyone who knows me know that I’m not politically correct. I don’t do politics.. anyway.. unless there is a mass protest, which I would support, I will support the manager, he didn’t hire himself.. anger needs to be directed to the incompetence called TTFA..
hand in hand Kelvin Jack
Kelvin Jack fully agree…..
which self respecting coach works in a foreign country for US$7000 a month???????????????/
No. Based on this “coach’s” record, it is clear that he is not capable of leading us to the World Cup. If you believe he is, you’re delusional. HE HAS NO TRACK RECORD TO SPEAK OF!!!!!
We need a capable coach to take us through qualifying, and CLEARLY this guy is not it! Maybe the U-15 girl’s team would be his level, from Fyzabad Composite!
Only in a third world shithole would this happen. Oh well, looks like he has lots of experience in that regard.
How about NOT support the TTFF and get these imbeciles out ASAP! If this is who the get to replace HArt, they’re absolutely incompetent, that’s all. I spent $2000.00 on a season ticket, but this is just insulting. I’m boycotting the rest of games.
Kelvin yuh making some sense but hell no and this is why!! You said it …we don’t know him and his track record does not inspire confidence…. to begin with. In 2006 Bertil was replaced with Beenhakker whose track record “did” inspire confidence and he finished the job. Foreign named doesn’t mean improvement (surely you know this). I gave DJW a chance when he was selected …. it’s clear he’s not the man for the job. ….. and now I endorse him bringing “a hollywood type prospect”? Any merit from this man has to be earned from dust up and not before. This passive way we have about being manipulated and herded irks me everytime but …even suggest “no carnival” we create an apocalypse. Can’t you all see that DJW has to go?
Malik… what you guys are not understanding is that I agree with all your points.. I do not rate DJW as the leader administratively. It’s a sad state of affairs and the disorganisation is staggeringly bad. Most of the people on the committee are dodos.. but you have to support your manager whoever he is..
I support the national team ..win lose or draw wether I’m screaming at them or laughing with them. But you have to give your supporters something to hold onto. Filtered responses …hidden agendas …random shock announcements and above all no arena to give feedback feels suffocating from our perspective. How can we justifiably just go with whatever he dishes out? It’s like the final battle in the movie gladiator …. we are not being given fair treatment and as such no room for even remote optimistic expectations ….. it sucks ….it really does ….
I’m a staunch critic of the TTFA.. they’re dinosaurs who think they’re more important than they really are. I actually think they are oppressors? Not al of them but some.. makes me sick.. but I repeat.. support your manager
Why wasnt ricky hill selected ? Didnt you play under ricky hill in san juan jabloteh unbeaten run in all competitions cant remember the exact year
Kelvin Jack we need to support the team eh. The manager has his job to do. If he does it well he will get his praises and everyone will be happy. If not then is bye bye. The TTFA just felt the need to copy USA and fire our coach as they did. We like to follow the US in so many things but we don’t copy the right things. They have a plan and we don’t.
OK so he have the job who are his assistance coaches
..Good. Anybody know?..
..We will see. He in place. Let him do his thing. But the real issue is not who is coach. It is how the old coach was undermined and how the new coach was arrived at and appointed..
Well said I share your sentiments
failure
the man efffffffff up long before he came here……… his track record is only fasilure
we are doomed to fail with a failure leading our charges .. and a failure of a board that hired the failure to lead us to failure…….. this man was fired after two games for INCOMPETENCY by a country ranked 100 places below us and im sure that when we dont qualify for the gold cup THE VIRUS is still gonna keep him on as head coach
..Correct. Support yuh local sheriff – until he eff up..
Too many people are being emotional, sentimental and live in the past. The reality is this.. Hart is gone.. he did an efficient job but we move on. This new guy we don’t know about him and his track record does not inspire confidence. We should always be slow to criticise until we have given someone a fair chance. There is not much that we could do right now. The TTFA, as useless and incompetent as they are, have appointed this guy. He is now our manager.. so you support him. Of course there are others who we all would have preferred but what are we to do now? Put the man under even more pressure before he has even started? I would’ve loved Terry Fenwick to get the job as to me he was the outstanding candidate. A high quality manager who would’ve have given us a realistic chance of qualifying.. however.. this is the guy who is the manager now.. support your manager.. if he fails many here would say I told you so but what about if he succeeds? Food for thought..
Kelvin Jack well put my sentiments exactly. Many Trinbagonians like to drag people down in the mud before they even had a chance to play in the mud. We are a mud slinging people without giving the person a chance.
I am not supporting no bootleg Coach who doesn’t have a top of the line track record eh, and didn’t even last coaching any other country steeuupss and I wonder why another steeuuppss again eh some of alyuh really like mediocrity eh steeuupss and like alyuh didn’t understand what my dictator president said or what eh, that bootleg Coach monies that he wants eh was the only thing that they can afford to pay any Coach eh, and you all really feel that Terry would have been the answer eh, who almost got an assault charge against him when he almost knock out Earl Jean some years ago at a pro league game eh, and again hit is own player with a tap on his head while he was coming of the field when he was substituted eh Cerano Glen , Cornell Glen brother eh that he turned back to challenge him eh I saw everything thing on the video eh and said to myself but this English Coach is really ah madman or what eh, and where was Terry going and find the right players in order to take us to another World Cup eh. Alyuh really good yes.
Earl.. the guy didn’t hire himself. The dodos hired him.. so while he is there support him.
Excuse me mango…wrong man earl jean!!! Never your friend terry wouldn’t be so daft to try something like that on me…smh
Mango if I never said it before you are an idiot. Keith look loy is right! You make everything a frigging joke but have underlying sentiments. Terry almost knock who down??!! Seriously be careful with your words. You were the first one to brown nose him in the mall the other day. COACH I HOPE YUH GET THE JOB!! Terence William Fenwick
hahahaha Oh Gosh Kelvin ok then nah but he better don’t bounce his head starting Mr. Bound not to score eh unless he finds some real midfield play makers to give him the service that he needs or just pick the midfielders from Central F. C. eh because he is scoring the goals in the professional league now. Them really good yes.
Buh A A Reyna Kowlessar our whole country is ah joke with the madness and jokey things that continues to happen eh, and yes I will always big up Terry for his accomplishments in our bootleg professional league and yes I did say that I hope he got the job, but I won’t stop exposing the Truth about the madness that he has done while coaching in the bootleg professional league, do you know how many times he got a red card from the referee because of his stupid actions eh, but I understand you just came on the scene and doesn’t know about what he did eh, but the evidence is all on the videos eh. You really good yes. hahahahaha
Yuh paranging the wrong house Mango. You always on some garbage. Get a life. I have no time for you and your diatribe
I don’t parang eh, so try yuh best and I have ah life. hahahahaha
Idiot is the only word that describes you perfectly. Mental illness is real
When you talking about mental illness yuh better…..look leh meh hush meh mouth eh. hahahahaha
Really Reyna? So uncle Earl Mango was brown nosing in West Mall of all the places eh..well look ting here. Ease him up..he only kicksing
Kelvin Jack, with all due respect, I as a taxpayer and paying member of the viewing public reserve and deserve the right to be as critical of the way my tax dollars are spent! Yes, you are correct to say that he did not hire himself, however it is his hiring that brings us to the current discussion about credentials and fit etc as such it is fair game! In “giving him a chance” we are implicitly and explicitly saying that we are giving djw a chance. Well hell no! At this stage in our development as a nation that has produced more than it’s fair share of talent per capita, we deserve better. I hold every office holder, every employee, every trinbagonian to the better standard. This man will now be paid with my tax dollars and he now represents me – so yes I’m emotional and very much so. And I’m sentimental too! How can we excuse this crap. Every day same shit and give him a chance. I spent my money traveling all over watching our TT football and West Indies cricket – they have both fallen apart for the same reason and the poor leadership was aided and abetted by people saying “give them a chance”. If I was going to give someone a chance then let me give one of my local coaches a chance! That’s the point the Nigerians were making about him. Time for chance gone now is time for results – no more Russian roulette with our fortunes
hahahaha I wasn’t brown nosing in the West Mall eh Savitri it was in the Long Circular mall and yes I did say to Terry that I really hopes that he gets the job eh, knowing that it wasn’t happening because it is his same rivals in the professional league that is running the show now in the TTFA and they don’t want him to be the one to be successful in taking us to the next World Cup 2018 in Russia eh. Them really good yes.
Brian.. who is excusing this crap? What is the alternative except the removal of the TTFA president.. if you have read what I have written or know me you would realise I have no time for the inept federation. But I maintain.. the team needs supper and this is the manager right now.. support your manager.
“Support”
Reyna Kowlessar that wasn’t called for like seriously!!! don’t you feel your to emotionally invested when someone makes a joke!!! and then to insult Uncle Earl Mango Pierre!! come on that’s just low…..yea we all know that Uncle Makes his Jokes and has his fun..but its not like he doesn;t do anything which is of Value!!! come on….ease up on Uncle.the man makes jokes all the time!! it better than being all serious and vex and yet nothing can be done.beside venting on a Group page…………you disappoint me on that one especially with the Get ah life thing!! When most his life has been about Players better ment and supporting them through and through!!!!!! smh!!! but to your statement Kelvin Jack yes i agree with supporting the man and yes lets not get emotinally attach that we actually have a chance to qualify for a WorldCup and create history……….you have to understand people will act this way cause they saw Heart eh(not Hart) as the right man for the job to actually take us there to the promise land……when instead of us as a People!! revolting and actually putting it to people like DJW!! then we will always be in this cycle of **hey we doiing good * new admin come fire what is good ** an hire some shit fart** an we go say welll we eh no how he go do leh we wait and seee!! While our WC is going down the drain by a Man who is more concerned about W connection players getting contract away to fill his belly than actually Doing something for the country!!!! we rather put our lackadiscal effort on things that is worth more effort and put more effort on things that makes no sense or add value………….and just to state……How can you say lets wait and see him first when the man has been failing most of the time…..cause i cud assure u ..if he was a boss coach he wont be coaching shit teams and shit clubs…………..
I just read your first line. It’s NOT the first time he takes pot shots and then * claims * it’s a joke. He makes serious allegations at people and then backs down when confronted.
Do a little research it might serve you well in the future. Esp when the shoe is on the other foot.
To claim someone has an ASSAULT CHARGE ON THEM. IS NOT A JOKE ON ANY LEVEL NOR SHOULD PEOPLE STOOP SO LOW AS TO SAY ACCEPT IT.
He’s been warned many times before by various people include lasana. Things like that it what causes this website to be posed with pre action protocol letters.
So instead of distracting blame on me. Why not chaise him and tell him to be responsible with his comments. How does his comments sorry jokes add value? You realize his * jokes* are never about him. It’s always at someone else’s expense. David
Wow!!! sigh!! Uncle makes what he see’s and hears!! what he see where it was broadcast on news is not a make up thing so lets not go down that road. and second.he makes allegations cause you seem to forget he lives in the states and he goes by what he hears and what is in the know!! if he is corrected then fine!!! if he laughs and backs down is because he didnt know the truth and he laughs it off an calls it George.!!! if everyone started taking tings so serious then whats the purpose of even having a community!!!
Amm fren he said he WAS THERE AND WITNESSED WHO GET CUFF DOWN. Then the man who allegedly get cuff down. Chirped up and said he was never knocked down. Sorry I think you seem reasonable but that response was rubbish. So what I see in the Sunshine I should think is true then ? Rubbish
Trust me I’ve let a lot of his * jokes* go. Clearly you haven’t been one ever affected by his constant jokes.
Lasana maybe you could be of help with these ever so jokey issue. Enlightened this gentleman pls.
Not everything you read you believe , do you? Or is it just the negative nasty ones you believe and take as gospel and then spread it here?
lol so wait you believe him when he said that???bwahahahahahahahahah so if i type and say i see so and so ..will you believe me to!!! sigh……and constant Jokes yes i have been ..heck he even called me a bandit he arrested or ask me if i have criminal charges!! did i get on a rage an say i go take u to court blah blah….am..no!! i laugh at it cause it was in jest as he does with everyone…no one is blocked from his jokes..so doh feel your husband is being singled out….for what ever conspiracy reason be it be………..i said what i had to say….so lets bygones be bygones and move on in Unity in this group!!!
David you are entitled to your opinion. Not everyone that jumps on Terry’s case I defend at all. And again if people say you are a bandit again entitled to take it as a joke.
But I don’t have to or anybody else. Somebody here just this week used to bash terry and I actually went up to the lady and told her hello , really lovely lady.
Wait so you think everybody that bashes terry I pitbull them? Haha David plsss. I’m not that thin skinned not clearly he’s had some trouble with people on this site before
But Terry has a little more publicity than you. So I won’t compare what he says about you to someone dealing with kids and development and the public
Allyuh, ease up nah…please
lol Savitri Maharaj relax u eh see ah get she to laugh u spoiling me plan
Boy I not vex with you or him. I lurve to read yuh posts! ?
Now ah glad allyuh make up…see uncle Earl staying quiet…lol

Lmao David, you good yes…enjoy the doubles eh..medium pepper
Ent David. I forget about Mango so long and this coach business. ??. Apologies for any confusion ?
Reyna Kowlessar what ever rum yuh drinking you better change the brand eh, because I never said that I was there I SAID THAT I SAW HIS ACTIONS ON THE VIDEOS OF WHICH I POSTED THE ONE WHEN HE TAPPED CERANO GLEN ON HIS HEAD WHILE HE LEFT THE FIELD AND CERANO TURNED AROUND TO CHALLENGE HIM EH I EVEN POSTED THE VIDEO BUT IT WAS DELETED BECAUSE MR LIVE WIRE ALWAYS TELLS ME TO ALWAYS POST ON THE SAME TREAD and how many times have I been warned eh and what madness you are speaking about that I always back down eh I never backs down from nobody here on wired volley eh so try your best especially when I know that I can always back up whatever I am saying on wired volley and I will say this one more time because it seems that you is only reading what you want to read steuuppss TERRY FENWICK WILL NEVER BE THE COACH OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO AS LONG AS MY DICTATOR PRESIDENT IS IN CHARGE AND THE SIMPLE REASON IS THAT THEY NEVER LIKE HIM WHEN HE COACHED IN THEIR PRO LEAGUE AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THE REASONS WHY AND I DUN TALK steeuuppss. Them really good yes.
Kelvin Jack I don’t disagree with yiu they need support but right now people are upset and angry and thus deserve to have time to heal. Everyone here, including myself will be at the next game but right now we pissed and understandably so – that’s all I’m saying .
LOL Mango
My support for the team is unconditional but the main reason we are in this situation is because of the ineptitude of the TTFA.
djw is a virus on tt football that needs to be eradicated like tim kee before him
good bye world cup chances
Not even meh Father God can help them now..Them really good yes. hehehehe
BWDMCIDIHHB! steups ……imagine we replace timkee who for all his goofs had winning teams lead by competant coaches…and will go a step further and say that there is a direct correlation between DJW presidency and the decline in results for ALL D TEAMS who vex loss
You have got to be jokin..WDMC i seeing here??? Wait for it… after we lose the 2 Gold Cup matches…. he will send this joker packing and hire a next joker… his BFF Stuart Charles-Fevrier… watch and see
Williams, Shabazz and crew will run the team, they put a coach there they can control, he’s a figurehead, they don’t want someone of Hart caliber they can’t control and has an opinion..
True
Who?
Adios russia 2018….
I’ve had an extremely tough week……how is this news supposed to improve my “moodus operandi”? ….I guess what I’m saying is “WTF??” ……
This New Appointment is an INSULT to the vast T&T football community. HOW LONG BEFORE A PETITION TO REMOVE THESE IDIOTS?
Start it now
Im in
Not one of them coaches good and who de fk is he
Why worry? He is European…..that means he surely knows what he is doing…All other criteria like actual success as a coach/manager is irrelevant.
Ttff being cheap again. Spend money on a tried and tested coach. Somebody who we actually knows can coach to win. How shitty is this guy that Bangladesh let him leave.
What is that man’s record? What teams he carried to major championships?
which world cup gerard 2038
which world cup gerald 2038
when beeenhakker came here he had a experienced group to wk with latas yorke shaka and guys playing at good clubs all over the globe not like this bunch
Is that man in the front crying??? ???
Total B.S?
..”Hugo who?” was the cry in Cameroon when they appointed their new national team coach in February.
Hugo Broos might have been among the most successful coaches in Belgian football, on top of a stellar playing career with Anderlecht and Club Brugge, but in the land of the Indomitable Lions he was a virtual unknown.”..
..We go see!.. LOL..
http://www.espnfc.us/blog/football-africa/80/post/3012314/hugo-broos-can-lead-cameroon-to-african-nations-cup-glory-with-momentum
I hope he is not influenced to choose some of these Un-professional local base players and low performance international players by persons around him…He needs to go pure international, with his own technical crew. Dig deep, trace the parentage, send out memos to all international clubs etc etc. The likes of K.Jones, D.Cyrus, M.Phillip and it have others to be replace immediately. Get them Boss attitudes out of here. Start a Fresh ! We have no time for Shit in the Camp.
really?
TTFA playing games with our football. Red card!
