[Time]

I wonder how long will Bruce pay Bora's salary? Him better don't lose any more matches!

The contract that Bora signed have nothing to do with Bruce Golding. yes, the government might be changing, but life goes on, its business as usual.

[OJ]

wow you think we had more sense than this.

[Tilla]

We cannot ignore the fact that government has a hand in the payment of Bora's salary. If the new admin decides that they are not honoring the previous government's commitment to the coach's salary, then Burrell and company would need to find alternative source of funding to make up the short-fall.

What if the JFF cannot find a source to take up the slack if the government drops out of the deal? How do you think we could move forward on this issue. I am not sure the Portia Simpson Miller admin would have signed a binding contract with the JFF on something like this.

[Lazie]

So with limited funds, and with education and healthcare having more priority than sports ... what should the new gov't do? I guess if they seize funding Bora's salary everybody gonna throw a hissy fit.

[Sickko]

I agree but for a different reason...JFF wont have to fire Bora, he wont work with Burrell I said that a long time ago but no one wanted to listen

[Assasin]

Here come Rene to finish his job.
I can see ball start rolling again

[Tilla]

. . .he wont work with Burrell I said that a long time ago but no one wanted to listen

How can you make such an assertion Sickko? Have you discussed this with Bora?

[OJ]

then they would be in breach of contract!...

[Tilla]

Who could be in breach, the government? As far as I know, the government does not have a contract with Bora. The government promised the JFF to help them with the salary.

OJ, imagine this. You have a woman living in South London, Ontario who wants to rent an apartment. She saw a nice apartment she likes, but thinks the asking price would be a bit steep for her on her earnings. As the nice jenkelman you are, you offer to pay X amount of the monthly lease so she can get the apartment.

Three months down the road, you and this woman go your separate ways. Do you think that you can be held responsible for keeping up that part of the deal you made with her when she signed that lease? Remember, you were not party to the lease.

In the government's case, they are involved with the JFF, but they are not a party to the contract with Bora. I do not think the government can be held liable for breach of contract (Gamma can korrek mi if mi wrang).

[Gamma]

it's called privity of contract....HOWEVER there is a concept in equity (not law) called a promissory estoppel which basically says that if a promise is made and the party relies on the promise, to their detriment, then the promisse is estopped from denying the promise and may be liable for damages incurred in reliance on the promise.

[Tilla]

Mi haffi doh siddung when mi read this.
I got the idea however.

Thanks

[OJ]

Agreed not the government. The JFF is on the hook. If they terminate the contract they are liable, but lets not go there yet. I do think Eddie played a roll in getting that done. So I am hopefully they will continue to build on it.

Horace Burrell knows performance 'a do-hit'. ...managing performance that is!

Bora's salary is a drag on the JFF. The question is simple - Can Horace Burrell get us to World Cup 2010 finals paying less? ...so that there are funds available to properly prepare and fund all other national teams and maintain and improve all other necessary areas of 'di football'?

Simple - manage for success! ...'or else' i.e. "jump in the sea" or be "thrown in the sea"!

...and, Burrell knows the answer to that "or, else" - "im nuh a wait fi climb outta di sea come November?

Just like one in burning house...it is a simple move out! What is there to think about excepting "the how"? Soooooo the Good Captain knows he must move - we wait on "the how"! Will ditching Bora be a part of that "the how"? We'll see!

[Reggae-Fan]

I agree but for a different reason...JFF wont have to fire Bora, he wont work with Burrell I said that a long time ago but no one wanted to listen

Are you saying to us that Bora only came here to work with Clueless Crenston and no one else? And did he only learn of Burrell's "arrogance" since the time he's been here, or did he know of this before? I have a hard time accepting that Bora would not want to work with a proven football administrator like Horace Burrell....

I dont buy your arguement.
