Friday, December 26, 2008 Better days ahead

Captain Horace Burrell returned to the helm of the JFF promising better days ahead.

“We must change the way we do business. As we move forward as a board we are going to do all that is within our powers to ensure the parish associations move up a couple of notches in so far as their administration is concerned.'

Burrell - Monday, November 05, 2007

As we close out 2008 and look towards 2009 it is only natural that we recall Captain Burrell’s words in his acceptance speech. A report in The Jamaica Observer stated:

In his acceptance speech, Captain Burrell said his plans to put the sport back on firm footing hinged on eight major planks, inclusive of coaching development; referees; administrative reforms at all levels, the JFF, the respective parish associations and the clubs; development and improvement of playing facilities; improving the technical aspects of the present Premier League; youth development and a national football academy; improvement of women's football and qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

'…the JFF must re-establish itself as viable organisation that is compatible to modern business trends in the global marketplace'.

'The JFF shall facilitate a programme of sustainable development, characterised by professional administration, a very high level of technical competence, international infrastructural standards, innovation, creativity and responsiveness to our corporate partners, government, stakeholders and by extension the Jamaican people.

Also, our national teams should be able to represent us consistently anywhere in the world”.

It is now one year into the life of Burrell’s new administration and the JFF has found itself struggling to extricate itself from a mountain of financial debt as it seeks to go along the path laid out by its president on that first day of his new reign.

On the field, the men senior team has been eliminated from World Cup competition and gone on to win the Caribbean Football Union Championship and booked a place in the next Concacaf Gold Cup competition. Our junior national teams have either advanced in their competitions and or are in training for future entry into competitions.

There is the promise that the long awaited Football Academy in a more expansive form will finally be developed.

Captain Burrell and his team of administrators will be watched and measured against those words spoken on their coming into office.

The Reggae Boyz Supporterz asks for Captain Burrell and his team of administrators God’s guidance as they face the challenges. We pray for better days ahead for our football and wish for everyone Happy Holidays and a Joyous 2009.
