SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY UNGRATEFUL

I recall that when the WICBC was scurrying around Begging the Regional
Governments to help it Bring the International Tournament to the Region

The Regional Governments leapt at the chance to assist , New Stadia was built ; Existing Stadia were refurbished ; Grounds were prepared etc .

THIS WAS ALL DONE NOT BY THE WICBC

BUT BY TAXPAYERS MONEY . I AM NOT

NOSTRADAMUS , BUT AT THE TIME WHEN

EVERYONE WAS IN A FRENZY GETTING

THINGS IN ORDER TO HOST THE WORLD CUP


I stated in this very forum that the
Regional Governments had the WICBC over a Barrel , therefore they needed
the WICBC to sign a Legally binding
document .

STATING IN CLEAR UNAMBIGUOUS LANGUAGE

THAT THE WICBC WOULD MAKE SERIOUS

STRUCTURAL REFORMS .

I stated this because I believed that
the People in the WICBC in their eagerness to get their hands on money
would be willing to do anything to get
That Tournament in the Region .

I guess not being a well known person
my advice was Ignored . Perhaps because the Regional Governments were
promised Millions of Dollars .

NOW ALL THIS WAS BEFORE 2007 . WE ARE

NOW IN 2017 , THE WICBC HOSTED THE

TOURNAMENT ; YET IT HAS DONE NOTHING

REGARDING STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO ITS

89 YEARS OLD STRUCTURE .

The WICBC is still fighting to have its existing Structure remain the same . The Regional Governments let the Bums off the Hook by not insisting that they sign a legally binding document stating that the WICBC in exchange for getting Taxpayers Money
would make serious Structural Reforms .
Now WE have Emperor Cameron & his minions , still doing as they please
regarding West Indies Cricket ; He lied about what level Contract Bravo had .

He goes to a Radio Station and dictates who cannot sit near him and he stated that he was not going to answer any questions the Journalist asked .

I bring this up because if the Regional Governments had demanded that
the WICBC undergo serious Structural
Reforms . Cricket in the Region would have been a Hell of a lot better than it currently is .

Perhaps the Governments believed that
they were dealing with Honourable People , but as it turns out they were
and are dealing with the Real Pirates of the Caribbean .

There are some people here who can recall what I stated at that time .
My expectation is that Prime Minister
Rowley and others would go to the Law Court , and cite the fact that Taxpayers Money was & is invested in
West Indies Cricket .

That being the case the Regional Governments have Standing to bring a Case against the WICBC /CWI on several Counts .

I'm sure that POINT makes some good points, however, they're wasted because no one bothers reading his articles (you have to call them that), or will not admit to doing so (not even under oath).

The freaking Fact is that what I state
in this Forum , is generally correct .
that being the case there is absolutely no reason for me to deviate
from what I state .

Now those who are annoyed by what I write , need to understand that I am
not begging them to read what I write . My understanding is that WE live in Democratic Countries .

That being the case I am free to write that the WICBC/CWI has not served the Region well in its Stewardship of Cricket in the Region .
The onus then is on its Sycophants to
factually demonstrate that what I state is false . So far that has not
happened .

I am very interested in Cricket in the Region , and our Players once again being the best in the World .
Clearly the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth is never going to accomplish that .

That being the case the WICBC/CWI must be removed from the governance
of Cricket in the Region .

This Post is to remind the Governments in the Region that when the WICBC came to them for help in having the Tournament in the Region in 2007; THEY
were in a position to extract meaningful concession from the WICBC
regarding the fact that since its inception , the WICBC bluntly refused
to make serious Structural Changes to
its 89 years old Structure .

The fact is that the Governments took
Taxpayers Money to accommodate the
Hosting of the Tournament in 2007 .

It is therefore fair to remind those
Governments especially those who now side with Cameron ; of the fact that the Regional Governments took TAXPAYERS MONEY to help the WICBC
host the Tournament in the Region in
2007 .

The Governments in the Region in return did not get one blasted thing from the Bums in the WICBC . It seems to me that Gaston Browne & those who are opposed to taking the WICBC/CWI to Court , evidently are endowed with short memories .

I am simply reminded them that the
WICBC fooled the Regional Governments and is likely to fool them again .
So to end this charade once and for all , the only sensible option is to take the WICBC/CWI to Court , I am therefore heartened by PM Rowley's
proposal to take the WICBC/CWI to
Court and he has my support in doing that .

For years the WICBC has bamboozled the General Public by commissioning several Reports , and then on receiving those Reports swiftly discarded them ; without implementing
the salient recommendations of those
Reports .

It is therefore fair to ask the WICBC/CWI what then was the purpose of
commissioning those Reports ???????
