Mending fences - Ricketts, Whitmore welcome fresh Leon Bailey talks
Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president, Michael Ricketts, and national senior team coach, Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore, are both looking forward to fresh talks with Phoenix Academy founder Craig Butler on the possibility of Leon Bailey representing Jamaica.
"I cannot deny Tappa's effort and the improvement he's made. Having a solid cadre of local and international players that understand a system will give Tappa the edge he needs to be the best coach in Jamaica's history," Butler said. "Being close to Tappa, I can help him with the development of a football culture. So I am really hopeful for the future, but I have doubts the members of the JFF can put the country and its youths before their egos and let my boys play."
