MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS to Jamaica’s football industry have said president of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Michael Ricketts, should rethink his response to widespread calls for his resignation after Jamaica failed miserably in its attempt to qualify for a second FIFA World Cup under his leadership.
Michael Ricketts, immediately following the Reggae Boyz’s last World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica, which ended any slim hopes of a revival of a disastrous qualification campaign, declared he will not be resigning.
Some sports administrators described the management of the qualification campaign as horrendous and insist the federation should be held accountable.
Former JFF president, Tony James, former Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) president, Stewart Stephenson, and former national player and advisor to the sports minister, Ali McNab, all agreed there is a need for change and that the president should look within himself and make the right decision.
Stephenson said the current administration had enough time to prepare a proper qualification campaign and after failing horribly, the honourable thing for the leadership, including the general secretary and the board to do, was to step aside.
