THE EDITOR: Who is the TTFA going to bring in to replace sacked coach Angus Eve, Pep Guardiola? Is this the norm at the TTFA that any time a new executive steps in it sacks the coach and then owes them money for the balance of their contract?

I just don't get it. What has Eve done to deserve the sack? We are in the middle of a World Cup qualifying campaign, he is spearheading the project for qualification for World Cup 2026, the TT football Premier League is growing exponentially, we are competing with the likes of the US and Canada.

International football is all about results, but we can't expect him to turn us into a Morocco or Saudi Arabia in a couple of years, countries which have made great progress in world football.

Eve just managed a 7-1 victory against the Bahamas. With that goal difference and a result against St Kitts and Nevis, the Soca Warriors are practically through to the final round.

Now the national set-up has to adjust to a new style of play, backroom staff (except Shaun Fuentes), coaching philosophy, and the next manager may want to rebuild the team.

Perhaps what TTFA president Kieron Edwards should have focused on was getting the senior team a proper pitch to train on full-time, advocating for immigration amendments to allow more Chris Birchalls to play for the Soca Warriors, or trying to poach Jadon Sancho to switch allegiance to his true home – to increase our quality on the pitch.

Edwards ought to know what he is doing.

All the best in your future footballing endeavours, Eve. Thank you for your contribution to TT.
