Caught Burrell on IRIE just now

[Sickko]

whoa..

[Mosiah]

...this is a fans club web site, not a haters club website boss.

So says the President -

President of the FACCAC - Fans Againts Clueless Crenston and Cronies (cronies include Mosiah and Sicko)

[Karl]

and obviously this was his decision and his alone..from my contacts once again he by passed the entire executive and Big mac the 'technical committee head' and fired the man on his own.

While I welcome the firing...once again Burrell acted above the constitution of the JFF as if he is the law.

Can you give us the quotations from the JFF's Constitution which frames such actions by a President of the JFF...being careful to point out where in that JFF Constitution any President of the JFF who acts in like manner contravenes the JFF's Constitution?
Thank you!

[GaryD]

Burrell has always been authocratic. The benign dictator in the making. Anyway, he alone was never the answer.

[Mosiah]

Constitution or not, Burrell has consulted with his board for every little thing in his second stint, well, at least that's what he has told us.

[DweetSweet]

Not defending Burrell's decision, but I know him to be a planner that would have predetermined actions for different hypothetical scenarios. That comes from his military training. He could have predetermined and even run his hypotheticals by the technical committee beforehand and already got consensus if not approval to make the decision. He has fired national coaches immediately after a loss in a foreign country. Remember Clovis d'Olivera in after the WCQ game in Costa Rica?

Atleast unnu can look forward to seeing Bolt on Letterman September 24th

[Mosiah]

YAY! Y'all got your wish, for Bolt to be on all the American talk shows.

Oprah next stop!

The man shouldn't fire Simoes...him a throw in the towel too early...

When should he fire Simoes then? When its mathematically confirmed that we have no chance.

Costa Rica fired Medford right after their prelimiary tie with Grenada even after they advanced. Stop chat your f*ckery. Th reality of the dream has set in.

Its 2014 we will be preparing for. Let the rebuilding process begin.

[Sickko]

Excuses big man...any leadership training, military or not, will tell you that no one man can do everything and there ust be delegation and trust in those you same one hired around you.

What are the roles of the heads of committees...rubber stamping everything the president says??

That cant be the it.

[DweetSweet]

Sicko, one cant do everything, but one can make a decision based on the recommendations of others. Most organizations such as enterprises, government, sports authorities, use this management model. An organizational leader MAY delegate responsibility, but he/she cannot and should not delegate authority or accountability. It is the President of the JFF, whoever that may be, that makes the decision to hire, and fire, national team managers. He does not have to follow the recommendation of a technical committee as their recommendations are just that, advice to the executive decision maker.

The pot a call the kettle black ...lol seriously why fire the man now , you went to great extremes to get the man , you have a mathematical chance , it shows Burrell hasnt changed..knee jerk reaction , it also shows he has no faith in Rene , and he wrote off the campaign.

Burrell stint might be short , Jamaicans are fickle and dont take too kind to broke bullies .

What next ? Barnes or Laza would be the logical choice , a nmae to draw corporate support.

[Culture Sound]

fire Simoes when the campaign is officialy over...lose/draw with Mexico next game and it is over

[Me]

I just hope is Tappa the man pick to replace him.

Tell them Dweet! The buck stops with Burrell. It might be the responsibility of the committee to make the decision on hiring or firing, but Burrell certainly has the authority to make the call when he did.

That said, the manner in which Simoes was fired was kind of crass to say the least. The firing of anybody should be done in a manner which allows the person being released to at least leave with his dignity. There is no reason why the good Captain could not have waited until the team returned to Jamaica and then he could request a one-on-one with TD Simoes and read him the riot act. Burrell obviously pulled the rug from under Simoes in full view or awareness of all the players and technical staff, especially with the whole gravity of the loss on the sholders of everyone.

Decision-making is the hallmark of any good manager. Whereas I give the Captain credit for making the decision to cut his losses and rid the JFF of the expensive failure called Simoes, I take exception to to the manner in which Mr. Simoes was relieved of his position. I also took exception to the release by Clovis de Olivers back in 2003 too.

The Captain has the authority to fire, but he has not shown as someone to follow procedure.
