One of the lines I've heard in support of Schäfer is that Jamaica no longer gets five and six nil from the big teams of the world. Just a reminder that Jamaica did actually get clobbered eight nil in France in 2014. I would choose getting the odd six nil and still being in contention and indeed going forward to qualify for the World Cup finals as we did in 1998, over boasting about rubbing shoulders with big teams in useless friendly's and valueless tournaments, while getting beaten by Nicaragua and Panama in vital World Cup games.
Schäfer's attitude towards the exposure and development of our young players and his overt bias, disrespect and disdain for the nation's young local-based footballers continue to tear away at the very fabric of the future of the game in Jamaica. His preferred option remains running off to England in search of "half good' and "half committed" players, to whom he then has to 'bow" and 'beg' to come and play for Jamaica. He has flatly refused the notion of finding a balance and look where it has gotten us. Without even getting into the details of Schäfer's technical and tactical incompetence, it is quite safe to say that pound-for-pound and dollar-for-dollar, Schäfer has turned out to be a terrible investment and arguably the worst national senior football coach to have graced the shores of Jamaica, he needs to go, and he needs to go NOW!
