Burrell lashes slow-paced Football Academy

Captain Horace Burrell has lashed the absence of a National Football Academy despite ground being broken for the construction of the facility in November 2003 in Portmore.

Speaking at the Portmore Football League's 32nd annual awards ceremony at Twin City Restaurant last Saturday evening, Burrell said he could "recall the function that was kept leading up to the ground-breaking ceremony at the site, witnessed by FIFA president Sepp Blatter, CONCACAF boss Jack Warner, then Minister of Sports Portia Simpson and other dignitaries".

Don't look for any Bruce Golding-kind of conciliatory talk from Burrell.

"...some wise person..." - where was the plan for the academy in Portmore? Unless he meant Portmore United. If there weren't an election around the corner there would not have been a ground-breaking.

thats the problem with Burrell, he does not understand how to unified people. Just buy them out. I think Munroe was the right choice albeit the project is lagging and they need to advance it so Burrel cant come make too much changes. But such is life.

OJ, had the Captain presented us with a plan for Portmore, as Karl has done for GC Foster, one could judge and a decision made. Contrary to popular opinion, I would not be setting up roadblocks if the academy was elsewhere, but just come wid a rahtid plan! Is that so hard?!

He rushed the groundbreaking because an election was around the corner, had no time for a plan for the academy (didn't even have a manifesto for the election) and now wants to trace people who did their homework (maybe for once) and decided on Munro. Good people are involved in this, including the HVFC president.

The Captain apparently wants me to start even before he gets back into office, because him rude and outta-ordah to imply that it was idiots who decided on the Munro venue.

Den him talk rubbish about being humbled! HA!

Mosiah...shuddup...siddung.

The good CAPTAIN spoke about VISION.

Leadership requires VISION. The GOOD Cap'n Vision is something that is not clearly 'seen' and appreciated at your level of operation Mosiah. (Others incl.). Therefore, you (an others) will undoubledly be very disruptive.

Like any lap dog!

With a vision, one would expect a plan.
