we were relinquishing the influence of a burrell who was moving up in fifa and had garnered the experience necessary to manage the program and move jamaica football forward, despite his obvious arrogance...
We were relinquishing a Burrell who had lost sight of the prize. He had lost the zeal, the hunger, the passion.
Nobody should have any regrets about supporting anyone who unseated Burrell in the last election. I have no doubt that Mr. Burrell is a quality businessman who seemed to be very professional in most things he does, but the fact is that he was doing a poor job and deserved to be told so. Now, if he learns from his mistake and does a better job once he is leading the JFF again, then the fact that he was UNSEATED would have been a blessing in disguise both for him and the organization. Therefore, everything serves a purpose. I truly hope that this time around he does not run a dictatorship, but rather a transparent organization fueled by a collective force and respect for all. I also hope that this time around the players are treated like the engines of the Federation and the stars they are, and the administrative staff play a more low keyed SUPPORTIVE role like they should.
