The sta­tus of the T&T Su­per League in lo­cal foot­ball could be on shaky grounds with the re­cent ap­proval of the Pro League Sec­ond Di­vi­sion.

Venezue­lans to play for Big Can­nons.

For­mer na­tion­al de­fend­er, now turn coach Shur­land David is the new coach of T&T Su­per League cham­pi­ons FC San­ta Rosa. He was un­veiled to the me­dia at a press con­fer­ence at the Ari­ma Town Hall yes­ter­day on a one-year con­tract, of­fi­cial­ly re­plac­ing Derek King who led the team to the su­per league ti­tle for a sec­ond time in 2018, be­fore mov­ing on to HFX Wan­der­ers FC in the Cana­di­an Pre­mier League.

A few weeks ago, there was an interview in the Sunday Guardian where a member of the T&T Football Association (TTFA) general council and former national coach was speaking about the state of football in T&T; more specifically, with reference to the performance of the president of the TTFA David John-Williams, and he was quick to note that he was a friend of his and one of his campaign managers for the 2015 TTFA elections.

Kei­th Look Loy, pres­i­dent of the T&T Su­per League (TTSL) has re­spond­ed to claims by his vice pres­i­dent Jame­son Riques in this news­pa­pers that there are plans afoot to re­move him from of­fice.

Jame­son Rigues, the first vice pres­i­dent of the T&T Su­per League has giv­en his col­leagues on the Board - Kei­th Look Loy, Ed­die Dean, Ter­ry Joseph, Clay­ton Mor­ris and Col­in Mur­ray un­til to­day to with­draw a let­ter ac­cus­ing him of be­ing tardy, and of­fer an apol­o­gy.

Trinidad and Tobago Super League (TTSL) president Keith Look Loy appears to have survived an attempt to dislodge him from the board of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA), after a petition to remove him was ruled to have failed to meet the constitutional threshold by TTSL general secretary Peter Thomas.
