The Dictator has bid adieu, who will be our coach and what’s the shortlist?

[Controversial]

Will be going for drinks tomorrow in celebration of the dictator riding out

However, we have serious business to handle..

- get rid of the current coach

- nullify those coaching contract extensions issued last night before the election

- give us a shortlist of coaches

Who will be our next coach, list your choices?

[gawd on pitch]

What a way for DJW to go. He spend around 4 years campaigning for, and building the Home of Football. And never get an opportunity to see it flourish under his control.. hah !

I want to see a pic of him cleaning out he office!

dirty nasty toxic move indeed, it’s reminiscent of what kamla and the PP did the day before the election of 2015 when they put a clause in the contract of the contractors who was building the highway to pt fortin claiming that the govt could not pursue the contractor for damages if they went bankrupt. this fat bastard should be pursued in court for obstruction. let see what kind of dirt dennis is made of, i already have lost all respect for russell latapy so come on dennis let’s see if you’ll still want to be coach after all this damage.

It is a pity we did not have a U-23 team to participate in the Olympic qualifications for Tokyo 2020.

[frico]

We will never be able to qualify for another WC because we as a people are incapable of organisation.We should stick with Carnival,give some of those people who organize the biggest fete in the world,the chance to sort our football problems out.We now on par with India and they will soon pull away from us,just like the smaller islands are now doing.We are definitely 10 or 15 years behind the better teams in CONCACAF,Mr.Wallace say they planning for 2026,that is far fetched.

The new TTFA will first have to see DL's contract and view the stipulations because no one knows the terms of his contract. What if they let him go and have to pay him in excess of $10M in addition to what is owed to hart, Walkes, Corneal, etc. Hopefully not but just saying.
But to answer the question 1) Juan Carlos Osorio but I doubt we can entice him to leave his job with Nacional for this, 2) Hernan Gomez and 3) Sol Campbell.

This isn't the context for Sol. Bollilo has question marks despite his experience with Panama. However, you'll be surprised to learn that Osorio might be available. Nacional drew their game yesterday and that was not enough to progress. At the post-match press conference Osorio left doubt as to whether he would stay at the club. That stated, I also don't know that he is the solution.

Depends who’s available

Imo no one aligned to our rivals, or coached for them... Hart first if he still wants it, why not Nakhid or Fenwick

And if none of them are interested, we should go for a coach who has an attacking style of football, a coach like Zidane tbh

Wenger is the only manager who I would take a risk on who hasn’t coached a national team

[gawd on pitch]

I almost dead.. He was riding on this to win the election.

I see a video of DJW after the defeat. It sounds as if he took his defeat like a man. He said that he'll be focusing on running his business and W Connection. Looks as if his reign has officially come to the end.. his reign is nothing more than the proverbial "footnote in history".

[asylumseeker]

Who in your opinion is a viable candidate that's available at this time?

So far ah only know who ah would say no to. But, I think the coach should (1) be coaching currently or only briefly out of a job (2) be chosen for his tactical disposition, flexibility and sophistication rather than his name (3) be a good teacher, messenger and motivator (4) be demonstrably adept, via his body of work, in having had teams that have mastered the tactical areas in which we are deficient (5) has historically had an ambitious selection policy supported by evidence.

The rest I will

What if Hart is under contract with Halifax? Also Wenger just took up a technical director job with FIFA, he may be quite content with that.

Is not like we qualifying for 2022 WC

And is not like we qualifying for the next Gold Cup either

So no sense in looking to break bank further to hire a "name" coach


In the overall scheme of things, the Mens National Football team is NOT A PRIORITY AT THIS TIME

Instead.....focus on getting Pro League or whatever it's called and clubs that compete there functional, competitive, and administratively competent.   

Identify and then develop young talent countrywide....and the country includes BOTH islands.....to feed into those Pro League teams

Hire a local coach and staff who have the communication, management, and technical skills to work with young players to form a nucleus or core of the National team going forward

Play that core as much as possible and that becomes your Mens National team for future Gold Cups and World Cups.

I so agree. DJW ain't taking the TTFA debt with him. Firing Lawrence will be adding to that, Hart,Corneal,Walkes, Completion of Home of Football, other payments and other National teams, promised tournaments. We have to await to hear what Wallace and company find in the vault. I suspect we drinking sugar water for a few years well. Then again, they probably not typical Trinis and could work magic.  Unless yuh get a volunteer coach, a la Waldrum, who btw, willing to take cuss, when he can't turn water into wine or wuk some obeah on opposing teams, the new TTFA right now floating on a log in the Bocas, surrounded by the usual sharks. Maybe some cash will atypically fall out the sky or show up in the backseat of some car. Yuh never know.

This is why DL's contract should not have gone beyond either Election Day or the end of last week's FIFA window.

Agreed. People calling for big coach...we can barely even pay for local coaches, how we going to pay for that? The federation and by extension football itself is in crisis. At this point asset allocation is critically important. Wallace has to perform very delicate economic triage to bring the FA back towards health.  Whatever little money we scrape together would yield far greater dividends if we rebuilt from the ground up.

Blowing operational budget on a 'big' coach with the general calibre of our current core and bench players is folly. We barely made it to Germany on the strength of one of the greatest teams in our history. There are no short cuts. TTFA must simply roll up its sleeves and begin  producing players that are competitive in CONCACAF.

everyones calling for Lawrence’s head but yet they’re saying how we don't need a good coach,I wish you people would make up your minds about what you really want because none of these teams are in it to lose, and as for lawrence I ant see this federation continuing with him, not after his record, and I don’t think the players wants to play for him anyway. we need a good coach and we need at least try to qualify for the gold cup and the world cup no matter what.

GC:

Although we have been relegated, we have progressed to the second bite of the 🍒 which takes place in June next year. This privilege was granted to all 3rd place (last place really) teams from Nations League A. The opponents are to yet to be determined but they will emerge from March 2020 matches involving teams from Nations League B* and C. That's the business ahead.

* Actual B participants this year, not those who were relegated into B.
