Growing up you would hear things from the elders, but you would dismiss it as speculation.
But as you got older and wiser and were further exposed to politics and how things worked it made sense in the whole scheme of things.
You would also wonder why some our best players never played in their prime for the national team or why our presidents who were elected never had our football in their best interest.
You would reduce it to incompetence or lack of intelligence but then on further investigation you realized it wasn’t neither of those things.
In the end it boiled down to politics, power and money. It was never about the game itself or how talented the team really was.
TT and the admin, management, presidents who were and are in charge have been placed there to ensure TT takes the fall for other teams to advance. It happened in the past and it’s happening now.
A small twin island republic doesn’t have that political power to control its own destiny, its controlled by others through their reps who have chosen to sell out. We must continue to play the fall guy especially in tight qualifying campaigns like what we have this time around.
That means TT must take a fall at all costs, Hart and a full team would prevent that from happening.
The dictator made a underhanded business decision and that entailed selling out for power and money.
In case you think this was just a recent anomaly, you’re mistaken, throughout our history since 90 we have played that role.
The powers that be know that given a good coach and proper training and prep, TT can qualify for every World Cup, this presents a problem, hegemony cannot be sustained with a spoiler, only with a fall guy...
