    Jack attack! - Warner lashes FIFA, chides CFU officials



    PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Jack Warner accused Caribbean officials of undoing their more than three decades of struggle for respect by caving in to certain demands handed down to them at their Extraordinary Congress staged in Zurich this week. The former CFU president came out swinging at his former colleagues ...more

      LOL! Jack is the second CFU person I have heard with that talk about the Caribbean ppl selling out what they have worked hard for to FIFA.

      I got a copy of an email sent to Burrell by the Cayman island member cussing him out and accusing him of selling out to FIFA for his own personal ambitions.

      The email which was being circulated among the media here was pretty nasty

        CFU committee unconstitutional, says Taylor

        CFU committee unconstitutional, says Taylor


        Sunday, December 25, 2011

        PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Trinidadian Harold Taylor, a Caribbean Football Union (CFU) presidential candidate, claims the recent decision by football presidents to form a Normalisation Committee to execute various tasks on behalf of the CFU is illegal.

        "It's unconstitutional. You can't call a meeting of presidents and then turn it into a CFU Congress. The CFU statutes state that to have a CFU Congress there must be at least two elected members present. There was none.

        "(Sepp) Blatter is talking about cleaning up FIFA of corruption, but Blatter is back to his crookedness because he is supporting people who are acting contrary to the CFU statutes," Taylor told the Trinidad Express.

        Well-known personalities Horace Burrell, Ronald Jones and Yves Jean-Bart were among nine administrators appointed to restore the CFU to normalcy over the next five months.

        Burrell, the suspended president of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), who will regain his status on January 16 next year; Jones, president of the Barbados Football Association and also Barbados' Minister of Education; and Jean-Bart of Haiti are the three most recognisable figures on the nine-member Normalisation Committee appointed during an Extraordinary Congress of the CFU at FIFA headquarters in Zurich on Tuesday and Wednesday.

        They have been joined by Luis Hernandez of Cuba, Victor Daniel from Grenada, Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands, Larry Mussenden from Bermuda, Everton Gonsalves of Antigua & Barbuda and Rignaal Francisca of Curaçao to execute a number of tasks to return the CFU to equilibrium following the fall-out from the cash-for-votes scandal that rocked the regional governing body earlier this year.

        Several high-ranking officials in the regional game, principally CFU president Jack Warner, either stepped away from the game, suffered suspension imposed by FIFA, the sport's world governing body, fines, or reprimands.

        Taylor, a former CFU general secretary, is one of three candidates vying for the post of CFU president, along with Jamaican Tony James and Derrick Gordon of Antigua. The CFU's Extraordinary Congress to elect a new president and executive was due to take place in Montego Bay, Jamaica on November 20 but was postponed due to a lack of funding.

        Taylor remains defiant, stating he is still a candidate for CFU president regardless of what FIFA does.

        "I am going nowhere. I am still a candidate. They can appoint whatever committee they want. At some time they still have to hold a CFU Congress to elect a new president and members," Taylor told the Express.
        The Normalisation Committee has a ten-point plan on which to work, leading to elections for a new CFU Executive Committee no later than May 15 next year.

          Goes two ways... The committe can be ad hoc and outside of the CFU's Constitution or it (its recommendations) could be made so as conforming with the CFU's Constitution - i.e. a future CFU Congress voting to adopt the recommendations.

          Once its accepted and its recommendations accepted for future action...it is a simple matter for a CFU Congress to vote the recommendations into acceptance as 'law'. Fact is, to prevent future 'blab-blab' it would be sensible for the next CFU Congress to have the recommendations presented in a manner that is "constitutionally on solid grounds".

          Harold Taylor? --- Merely bleeting!
