Burrell, simply bought his way back in, at the expense of all who are trully commited to the developement of the game in jamaica. Yet, some arrogant clowns still see him as the saviour.
I was dis-appointed in Boxhill's run, but, will give him some credit for realizing that the divide created by Burrell was simply too much.
The jamaican private sector must assume some of the blame for not stepping up and sponsoring so of these parish league, which Burrel was able to buy out with his Bulla Money.
The real sad thing, that a knuckle head like YARDMAN cannot see, is how Burrell, was able to politicize the position of JFF head. Don't fool yourself to think, this being done to the benefit of jamaican, football...How naive.
Boxhill, did not do what he claim he had planned, so it was easy for Burrell to undermind his leadership.
One, can only hope that Burrell, will return with a new vision and realize that he can be kicked out like the last time. Remember, jamaicans are fickled about politics.
Question, will he arrogantly, reverse some of Boxhill's implementations? For example, the Academy in St. Bess and Bora??

That is self explanatory.... His stepping down and another candidate stepping in.
Regardless, if he was forced run for the JFF head position, he didn't do what was obvious, forget MANIFESTO or AGENDA.
I knew BOXHILL and personally thought he was going to do a better job than Burrell...I realized many moons ago, that wasn't going to happen.
Between you and i what was the reason(s), the politcians left Boxhill out to dry and make a fool of himself? was it to embrassed Burrell, and if yes, what will they do for an encore?
Read all i worte

The gov help boxhill as much as they cld, but there is so much a gov as constraint as this cld do. The private sector were the ones who left him out to dry (this is not to say he did not get any support from any of them).
There will be another candidate to give burrel a run fi him money. Boxhill failed miserably and yet continuation is mention as if boxhill do anything. Di idiot even a talk bout him legacy of youth development, ha! ha! Di man assemble youth teams for lest than two to three weeks b4 "compulsory" youth tournaments and call it youth development. Its not like him even send them on overseas tours and keep them together for any period of time, its not like him institute policies and programs to bring the best from all over the island, its not like him implement a systematic program to ehance the quality of youth coaches islandwide. Di man jus come on the media and talk bout his comittment to youth development everyday. I dont wrong u boxhill cause it win a lot of persons over,lol. In four years di man dont even mek one contribution to Ja. football
nobody can be as incompetent as boxhill. The next candidate if successful and even burrel will do a thousand times better job than him.

Zilla, i hear you load and clear...I really thought he(Boxhill) would have stamped his name on youth football in jamaica, and hope that the youth movement/development would permeate up the ranks.
When i knew Boxhill in Mandeville, he was always about Youth developement.
Now i look at it, he was very lacking...No charisma, no positive personality and certainly no charm to pull in corperate JA.
He could not even finalize (to date) a decent Kit Deal with a NIKE, PUMA, ADIDASS, UNBRO or any other top brand.
I just wished he had read this forum more...at least acted like he read what we collectively thought was needed.

If exposed to truth long enough, one must face its contagious impact. - Senior Analyst
By Howard Walker Observer writer Saturday, August 11, 2007
Horace Reid, the former General Secretary of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), has launched a scathing attack on Crenston Boxhill and Burchell Gibson, alleging that they are being "disingenuous and less than truthful".
Boxhill, the JFF president, dropped a bombshell by announcing that he will not be seeking re-election when the Voting Congress opens in November, citing that the process has been compromised by Captain Horace Burrell's sponsorship of the majority of the parish associations. But Reid was quick to point out that Boxhill was handed a major rejection by the football fraternity and "suggestions to the contrary is nothing but a smoke screen away from the real issues surrounding his stewardship of Jamaica's football over the past four years".
On Tuesday, August 7, the JFF announced that nominations for the positions of president, vice-presidents, treasurer and ex-officio officer had opened. And according to Reid, Boxhill would have had a real difficulty gaining nomination for the post of president of the JFF because within 48 hours of the opening of the nominations, 11 of the 13 parish associations nominated Burrell for the position. According to the JFF By-laws, all the candidates would have to be nominated by at least three persons from three parish associations, a rule which Reid thinks forced Boxhill to stand down.
But JFF General Secretary Burchell Gibson was quoted as saying that up to 5:00 pm Thursday, less than 50 per cent of the nominations had been submitted, for which he earned the wrath of Reid as well.
Said Reid: "It is important to reiterate that 11 parish associations submitted the aforementioned nominations within 48 hours of the notice, therefore, for the General Secretary to suggest that not more than 50 per cent of the parish associations submitted nominations, he seems to be less than truthful and consequently, his integrity in managing the nomination and election process has been brought into question".
When contacted for a response to Reid's allegations, Gibson defended his position sternly. "I will stick to the facts. There is only one secretariat and I don't need to hide anything". "I will not be drawn into any cass-cass," he told Sporting World yesterday.
ESTABLISHING THE FACTS
Reference is being made to newspaper articles in the Jamaica Observer and the Jamaica Gleaner, dated today, 10th August, 2007 and in relation to the declaration by the President of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Mr Crenston Boxhill, stating that he would not be seeking re-election to office at the November 4, 2007 JFF Voting Congress. I respectfully submit that Mr Boxhill, at best. is being very disingenuous.
It is important to put things into perspective and also to establish the sequence of events. The Captain's Bakery Limited sponsorship of football has dated back to more than a decade ago, and commenced with women's football. The support was extended 3 years ago with the sponsorship of six Parish Major League competitions, a well-established fact known to Mr Boxhill and the general public.
Only last Saturday, 4th August, The JFF President when quizzed about his re-election strategies by a Jamaica Gleaner reporter, LeVaughn Flynn, in an article in the Gleaner headlined "Boxhill glows as U-20s medal finish manifests JFF's goal", was quoted: "I have given a lot of thought to it (election), as to what exactly my plans are as it relates to the strategies and all of that, as time unfolds my plans will unfold also."
On Tuesday, 7th August, the JFF announced to all its affiliates the opening of nominations for the positions of: President, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Vice-Presidents, Treasurer and ex-Officio Officer. The close of nomination is 5th September, 2007.
Within forty eight hours of the opening of nominations, eleven of the thirteen Parish Associations nominated Captain Horace Burrell for the position of President of the JFF. Included in the eleven are St Elizabeth, St Catherine, Hanover and Trelawny. These four parish associations are not sponsored by the Captain's Bakery Ltd. In order to be nominated to any of the afore-mentioned positions at the JFF, a candidate must secure nominations from at least three parish associations. Obviously, with eleven of thirteen nominating Captain Burrell, Mr Boxhill would have had a real difficulty gaining nomination for the post of president of the JFF.
It is important to reiterate that all eleven parish associations submitted the afore-mentioned nomination within forty eight hours of the notice sent out by the JFF. Therefore, for the General Secretary of the JFF to suggest that not more than 50 % of the parish associations submitted nominations up to last evening, he seems to be less than truthful, and consequently, his integrity in managing the nomination and election process has been brought into question.
Also of emphasis, Mr Boxhill was unable to secure a nomination from Trelawny, the parish association of his most senior vice-president. Further, as far as I'm aware, Mr Boxhill has failed to secure nominations from Portland, the parish association of his General Secretary, as well as the KSAFA. I conclude therefore, and respectfully submit, that Mr Boxhill has been handed a major rejection by the football fraternity and any suggestion to the contrary, is nothing but a smoke screen away from the real issues surrounding his stewardship of Jamaica's football over the past four years. Now is indeed a good a time as any, for the JFF President to demonstrate his proclaimed love for the good of the sport, by making a dignified exit from the JFF arena.

Distasteful. It sounds to me like simply buying votes, nothing more.
Now I ask all the people, what is the agenda of someone who uses his own money to buy votes in order to gain an office? This is my fundamental opposition...I don't see how anyone can conclude his agenda is not his own personal interests.
Reid talks as though it's something other than that...ah bwoy.
