...just not in the capacity as (sole) President of the JFF
hardly anyone can doubt/question the man's business 'acumen' (shaggy word dat) and 'marketing skill'
his ability to galvanize support for the boyz can be matched by few, if any, in jamaican football cirlces.
HOWEVER, i think he should HEAD up the MARKETING department of the JFF
Football development should be taken over by a 'footballer' and not a businessman
maybe this 'one head honcho' style of JFF management needs to be revisited; as it is hard to find a SINGLE CANDIDATE with all the attributes necessary to move our football forward
wah unuh seh ?????
BLESS

I think you're view is shorted sighted, obviously the man Burrel loves football possibly more than he loves anything else in his life. He has dedicated his life and personal finances to Jamaica's game, he has galvanized an entire nation through sport. We have seen what happens, when we do not appreciate the man's hard work.
Now Boxhill and Burrel were footballers, neither of them achieved any notoriety as a player, but one is obviously a better businessman, and to you sir, football is a business. He is busy right now trying to rebuild an organization that had it's reputation torn to shreds world wide, by the previous administration. That was a "never see come see" situation, trying to swallow a pill bigger than him throat hole can manage.
I think for now we should leave him to his business and hopefully one of us forum members will prepare ourselves to be a member of the future president by committee JFF.

respect lesantos
this is not about boxhill
this about Burrells strengths, which i ahve highlighted and his perceived weakness(es)
mi sure you can find other ways to make burrell look good without constantly comparing him to boxhill
if boxhill was such a faliure, do you think comparing burrell to him is doing burrell any justice? think about that.
as i said I think burrells strength lies in the 'business' aspect of the game and not in the development part of it
that's all!
i would love to see us play a better brand' of football and would love for us to think BIG and aim towards hosting a FIFA tourney one day
with Burrells 'business acumen' I'm confident he could succeed in getting the funds and support to help improve the infrastructure to allow us to do
no doubt that he has the 'marketing skill' to sell this to John Public and other stakeholders
not convinced though that he has the 'know how' to implement a plan for COACHING and PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
that is/was/always been lacking in jamaican football; before his reign, during his reign, and even after his reign
and if we want the success that we all clamor for; that is where i think the focus should be
hence my call for a candidate with similar knowledge/know how in football development as burrell has in business
nothing personal
just a mek a suggestion fi get wi fi tink how we can improve the game a yard

Yo LeSanto... Please nuh mek mi dash weh the ratings mi gi yu...
Is what kinda crap dis?? obviously the man Burrel loves football possibly more than he loves anything else in his life.
He has dedicated his life and personal finances to Jamaica's game,
This sentence should have started with the words " Mr. Burrell did not expect and or realise that his financial investments" he has galvanized an entire nation through sport. We have seen what happens, when we do not appreciate the man's hard work.
Yes HL. I agree. Being on the business end of the JFF, Mr. Burrell would serve Jamaican Football much better. I believe there are talented Jamaicans all over the place. But with Mr. Burrell's tight reign it seems no one will push up dem head.
Le santo and other's who keep chatting bout football is a business need to explain exactly how football is a business.

I am now convinced Humble lion playing devils advocate around here. At least you give the captain some credit still. I thought the head of the JFF job was to market the football program and provide the technical team with all the neccessary support and at the same time saying yeah or nay. When you have a Technical director of the program the head man does not of to be a pass player or know all there is to know about kicking a ball. Simoes and the technical team was hired to do all develop and coaching needed. In any corporation tell me which CEO do it all himself? He has people in charge of different areas that reports to him.
That said football structure is similar to any business.

Hey man..Burrell must wear more that one hat because as some of us know, if you have a vision you must work to achieve it. You cant leave it in the hands of others. Keep working Burrell and if you need a good assistant to help with the dough when it start rolling in just call me.

G,
I man respect the fact seh burrell can 'sell' the program and garner the support needed to take us to the next level OFF THE FIELD
ON THE FIELD is a different story!
we are yet to have any PLAN in place for how to UNEARTH and DEVELOP the vast amount of talent we have wasting away a yard
yes, we can cork a stadium, and get corporate support, and do all the MARKETING for the program
but waht about the ACTUAL PROGRAM?
we need more than the 'quadrennial' development that occurs JUST BEFORE WCQ
we need systems in place for 'perrennial' development of our players
i have seen Burrell do extremely well in a marketing capacity
not convinced he has the ability to take us to where we need to be in terms of FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT
not even those he appoints every 4 years seem to be able to leave anything 'sustainable'
a just suh mi see it !!
the country needs to be DIVIDED into regions (we already have Cornwall, Middlesex and Surrey)
we need at least one soccer specific stadium for EACH region
we need each parish governed by a region
so a player has to make his parish team before he can make his confed team before he can make his Regional (County) team before he can make the NATIONAL team
we also need a Football center (ACADEMY) in reach region
there is so much we need to do, but as mi seh, we not even close
Football development is what i will use to grade any JFF prez

HL who do you think can carry out your grand plan? I am not saying it is bad especially if you have the infrastructure in place. Therefore academies must be built and finance must be in place. Grounds was broken to build one in Portmore and your man Boxidiot highjack the plans so now we have none and the cost is higher, right now we should have been working on our second one with the FIFA funds.

I think they are 'working' on an academy now so thats 1 out 3
region 2 and 3 in 10-20 years
JA govt, parish councils and private sector can tackle stadium development
"we need each parish governed by a region
so a player has to make his parish team
before he can make his confed team
before he can make his Regional (County) team
before he can make the NATIONAL team"
naah too restrictive
sounds communist
puts too much power in the hands of the parish bosses the same power you are trying to take away from BFF
I have suggested on here several times using a 3 man commission to run tings
but right now its all BFF
