Fol­low­ing my col­umn last week, sev­er­al read­ers asked me if I sup­port­ed the cur­rent T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) ad­min­is­tra­tion as I ap­peared to not sup­port the pre­vi­ous one. I chuck­led to my­self as this episode with FI­FA has noth­ing to do with whom I sup­port or don’t sup­port, I sim­ply sup­port what is fair.

New­ly ap­point­ed chair­man of the FI­FA-des­ig­nat­ed Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee (NC), Robert Hadad, was sur­prised by the call to head the unit but ex­pressed a gen­uine will­ing­ness to help put T&T foot­ball back on the right path. This af­ter the William Wal­lace-led T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) was dis­band­ed by FI­FA on March 17 af­ter it was elect­ed on No­vem­ber 24, 2019.

For­mer pres­i­dent of the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) William Wal­lace will have to find an es­ti­mat­ed TT$300,000 to $500,000 for le­gal costs if he and his three vice pres­i­dents are to chal­lenge the world gov­ern­ing body for foot­ball (FI­FA) in their ef­forts of over­turn­ing FI­FA's de­ci­sion to re­moved them from of­fice and im­ple­ment a Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee to man­age the af­fairs of T&T foot­ball.
