The JFF’s culture of begging

[Jangle]

No So Fast, Mr Ricketts!


National football boss Michael Ricketts may have scored an own goal after revealing his intention to ask Sports Minister Olivia 'Babsy' Grange for assistance in funding a new contract for senior team head coach Theodore Whitmore, ahead of a meeting this week.

However, a source close to the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, while confirming that a meeting is scheduled to take place this week with Grange and Ricketts, told The Sunday Gleaner that there are concerns that the JFF has resigned itself to relying on securing additional public funds, as opposed to examining other options which the ministry will be bringing to the table during the discussions.

It is our understanding that Grange herself was left disappointed that Ricketts and his team had apparently not exhausted all options before taking a position to request additional subvention ahead of their meeting.

OTHER OPTIONS
Our ministry insider underlined that while there is no aversion to providing available funding where absolutely necessary, Grange and her team - who apparently reached out to the JFF about the situation with Whitmore - are keen to temper expectations and are of the mindset that there are other options that can be engaged at this point.

These guys need to go ASAP! Rickets, promised a manifesto on development,where is it ?

This JFF can't support a local coach salary who took us to two GC finals ,what are they waiting for,not only that but brought us to that FIFA 45 ranking mark.

The Patty shop think we are fools because we like the taste of meat loaf,we want a system of professional development and how the JFF administrates is key to this.

People are not fooled by the decent rankings,it has been done before and it didn't gaurantee us ,youth development or a WC qualification,it is nothing more but a part of a process,yet to be implemented.

Yes youth development!

I almost never get involved in the politics of the JFF.

But I am [almost] positive that if the senior BoyZ should start to win everything --Grange would be posing for pictures with the squad (as if she is on the team) before every game.

Grange is minister of sports:

Well, maybe I don't understand the runnings well , das why I am taking this position.

IWell, maybe I don't understand the runnings well , das why I am taking this position.

On here, there are others that run dem mouth on many matters that dem don't understand only to be justifiably eXcoriated and eXposed. Maybe theY should follow your eXample.

Mr Marin regarding this article where how did u deter or

disagree with this xclamation from Sir x.
Why wud u see this positive post by sir X as an avenue to stab.
bearing in mind you both support the same philosophy ie. the jff a joke as it presently stands.
While seemingly agreeing with HL nonsensical not positive contributing post.
Just ramblings, bwoy liverpool neva walk alone...a now border on stalking or obsession..lol
