The fallout from what was deemed a malicious attempt to discredit WICB president Julian Hunte has begun and heads are beginning to roll in Antigua.

According to information reaching CaribbeanCricket.com, CEO Donald Peters has been sent on administrative leave pending an investigation of his performance and corporate services manager Tony Deyal has been fired for their roles in the brouhaha over the renovation/rental of Hunte's official WICB office in St Lucia. Full Story

In reply to CaribbeanCricket.com Hmm...are these two the right ones to go???

In reply to Khary9

shit goes down!

In reply to Khary9

Coverup!!!

Hunte must tell us how much rent he is collecting from the WICB?

Which office in a building for which the Board President is majority shareholder is worth US$6,000 a month.

This won't work.

In reply to Chrissy We takin notes too sis...

He cannot be a major shareholder in the same company...not good enough...surely he knows that protocol speaks to selling ones shares in the company b4 any transaction that ent at arms length. It simply doesnt fly at this level...

steupse

This is called "circling the wagons"

And from the looks of it, the alleged "independent voice of west indies cricket" is complicit.

Tings dat mek yuh go hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Hunte is innocent.

Thats what u get for trying to frame your frigging BOSS.

Dotties in charge

In reply to johnjo
Isn't/Wasn't the CEO a dottie?

In reply to imusic

Hunte is on KLASS now - he says he was being undermined by management and it will be public Wednesday.

Sorry bro - we done know.

He is ballistic.

In reply to imusic
anneda side ah revo dawg...palace coup get foil

In reply to che

hehehehe - says sponsors want retainer contracts.

In reply to che
Hunte followin Coard now?

Yuh know wha did happen to Coard ent?

Ah hope fuh he sake Hunte know he history...

In reply to imusic

He will meet with Onry and the board. Admits there is a letter of resignation but he has agreed to meet with him.

Says he has not accepted the resignation and will meet with Onry and then have Onry meet with the executive members of di Board and himself at the Executive meeting in three weeks.

He says he is not involved in any skulduggery and at this late stage of his life he would not get involved in any such nonsense. Says it is ridiculous.

Consultants might call this "dottie management? though dottie is a bad word . . . OECS management is politically correct

In reply to imusic

I recall the days when Hunte was joyously and boldly endorsed by independent voices and a certain irritating Trini asshole (not you or Jaydee or Rikki or Termie) was bang on in using the word "Skhunte"

I wish those WICB bigwigs would pay as much attention to the cricket admin as they do protecting themselves.

In reply to VIX

Bingo.

Well " THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY REMAIN THE SAME ".
In essence the WICB , like the character in Alice in Wonderland is " RUNNING VERY FAST BUT STAYING IN THE SAME PLACE ".

It is time for the Regional Governments to remove the WICB by any means necessary from the Governance of Cricket in the Region .

There is absolutely no doubt that the WICB is the biggest embarassment in the Region . I submit that is why it remains unable to recruit more than a handful of Sponsors .

In reply to POINT

in spite of the abuse to which you have been subjected, more so formerly that lately, you must not cease your campaign to have wicb "removed"

i often give up on west indies cricket as being in terminal decline, but am drawn time and again to read the news and check the scores. call me a masochist, if you may, or an unreformable addict.

so keep the faith and spread the word "WICB MUST GO"

In reply to Chrissy

So it seems Digicel realize they can't stop Stanford unless the players are on a retainer! which is my position.

So skunt went to the meeting with his axe sharpned two sides?

these events were bound to happen.
WICB make it look like it so difficult to manage the affairs of west indies cricket. all of we on this MB could do a better job, hands down.

In reply to Yamfoot

its intentional,to cover the fraud!

In reply to Yamfoot
What?!!!

Yuh smarter than that - it ain't that easy.

Look how many people have failed including Pat R. and look how successful they have been in other endeavors......and think again!!!!

In reply to Yamfoot

Yuh mekkin some serious assumptions about the big mouth folks pon yah.

Yuh nuh know that the easiest ting to do is criticise??

In reply to Cheeks

why you not in bed yet? I goin just now, but ah wondering why mi light flickering on and off like this for the past hour! Do I need to shut off everything?????????????????????????????????????????????
Hmm, maybe that is why you not in bed yet.

Go Chander…he is now the #1 batsman on the ICC Test Player Rankings.
As WI cricket (Gayle quit captain) and management (WICB CEO on administrative leave and corporate services manager has been fired) keeps crumbling, the superior Shiv stands out.

In reply to CaribbeanCricket.com

while:
Gayle heads role as WI skipper

In reply to CaribbeanCricket.com

Hmmm.... so many questions and so few answers.

How much did the furniture cost? (inquiring minds viz. "I" want to know)

What is "equipment"?

(me never know dat Hunte trying out for the team )

Dax's editorial comment - there are so many ways to hide money/stuff.


Why is it standard operating procedure?

Is this just a historical norm - or is it written in the SOP/bylaws?

Is it justified at THIS time - or we just do it because dem did it before?


ah well. decent job cc - if there are consequences(firings etc) of doing things - who knows?

when they finish with this there is a POSSIBILITY that they could get down to other matters like - who giving out match info, who knows about matchfixing, who matchfixed, who benefitted from matchfixing, which selectors getting gifts etc etc


But, I stop - before people think I changed my name to POINT!

In reply to Yamfoot

Cause I'm a big boy.

Light flickering?? I suggest you call your electrician....seems like you have an internal problem.

Supply is as reliable as ever.

Allyuh still firing, but all blanks.


yul smell ah dead bird??????



dig it up. find it. Is Hunte guilty or what? Chrissy, music, thefan and all the cohorts in de mele. Fire de say fire fuh Hunte bu Ah see no fire. sumting smell birdie, oops , ah mean mean fishy, but cyah find bird nor fish.


Continue merrily shooting at the dottie. Bu lemme say dis call it wha yuh wish inna de WI we fulla shyt, doodoo, poop.

Dem wiff their self-serving agendas When will we stop and try to restore weakcrikit?!

Meantime Onry cryin fowl justifiably or not so I ent know. allyuh lewwe all unite to fix de game we all love fuh de sake of brotherhood and sisterhood nuh.

In reply to InHindsight I notice it went from US$150,000 to EC$175,000 hmmm. Now some looking for another US$ amount. When non Finance peeps think they know finance, and when WI peeps think they know how World Business run(I aint see a World Class WI Business Model yet) and when they really are Economics geniuses(One thing Lucians understand - see a debt free Stadium), then they can talk. Till then I aint give a hoot what History and Literature and English majors have to say. So far the squeakers and underminers cyah add straight, and doh seem to know monetary exchange rates etc.


The usual peeps quick to try to find fault where there's none and thievery where theres none also. I leff dem. Hunte mus wok fi WICB fi nutting, and then let them use an office in a Bldg he renting for nutting too!! He mus foot the bill for WICB utility use and space occupancy because he is non big islander!! Never mind that the millions WICB had in years gone by disappeared under others, those not to blame.

I agree with them tho. Hunte should not seek re-election after his years done and leave the big isladers to doa as usual with the money WICB now have. Doh give he a chance!!

After learning of his appointment, I remember that stating here that Dr. Donald Peters would soon be out of there. The man is well untraveled. I remember being in Bermuda when he was appointed as VP of the Bermuda college. I was proud as a West Indian of his appointment. Soon, however, (he claimed that people were trying to get him) the press started to report negatively on him. Here are a few quotations from the Royal Gazette of Bermuda, the main newspaper:

Must read Donald Peters in NY race controversy




US university ostracises former College VP: you have got to read this one



The man has a problem everywhere he goes

The issue with Digicel will soon blow up and then we will find out why the board approved(did they?) the Stanford agreement and whether they took legal advice.(Stanfords agreement with C&W is the issue)

Strange that a property was rented from Hunte by Hunte for Hunte and CEO didnt know.Did the board?

Since Hunte joined Aanansen resigned(couldnt work in that environment),Paul Skinner resigned and now Deyal and Peters to go.Selectors gone.

Soon Barry Thomas should check his own contract.

Hunte cleaning up.Only men of proven integrity like cameron and shillingford will remain.

In reply to vulcan

Allyuh take long..lol.

panty man strikes again.

In reply to doublecentury

Cameron? You read the Lucky report?

In reply to Chrissy

In reply to Chrissy
I sure Shillingford cringin at de thought dat he name callin in de same breath as Hunte and Cameron....and usin dem name in conjunction wit de word "integrity" to boot. LMFAO!!!

In reply to vulcan

Exactly, he is bad news. Apparently WICB did not do their due diligence checks.

In reply to Chrissy

where this figure of US6000 amount come from?

In reply to Chrissy

chrissy............do u know Justice Lucky personally?

In reply to HumbleCalf

ANYONE AND EVERYONE who attempts to run west indies cricket under wicb IS BOUND TO FAIL

the reason is extremely simple. if you set out to sea in a vessel that is not seaworthy with a huge hole in the hull, you will sink.

THE STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION OF WICB IS PATENTLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF A INTERNATIONALLY COMPETITIVE, COMPLEX, SOPHISTICATED, MULTI-FACETED, MULTI-DIMENTIONAL, ENTERPRIZE.

pat rousseau et al, CAN be succesful in areas in which they are trained, have practiced and which are extremely simple by comparison to west indies cricket.

and if great men (like pat roussea!!) fail in other enterprises, like investing in a housing scheme, who the hell gives a damn. failure in a housing scheme is quite dissimilar to the failure of west indies cricket

In reply to Cheeks

I see your nose growing longer like Pinnochio! Had confirmation there was something wrong last night as we had problems at work. I heard at QP, there was a big explosion, then....nothing......

slavery aint done
we still enslaved

cheese on bread man , caribbean society in a mess cricket is a mirror and right now the mirror is cloudy cloudy cloudy

we are still slaves with slave masters and slave mentalities oh gosh

In reply to FrankSubaran

Sorry for not replying sooner , but I have just read what you stated .

I am always going to be critical of the WICB & The Charlatans until the WICB is removed from the governance of Cricket in the Region .

I am not worried about the abuse because I know that there are many things the WICB could do to improve Cricket in the Region and make the Team competitive .

I also know that those who run around the Region proclaiming that they are Sports Journalists , have for decades given the WICB a free rein to spread its ineptness , incompetence , and downright stupidity in the Region .

What the idiots on this MB and many in the Region fail to consider is the fact that an American with little knowledge about Cricket can gather some former Players and run a more successful Tournament than the WICB who for decades have been in charge of Cricket in the Region .

As I have noted before on this MB , in recent times the WICB'S
Tournaments have been like the WICB itself , mired in controversy . Due to Teams getting to play in the Finals without playing a semi Final Match .

In reply to jamgirl

Nuff peeps did say dem shoulda hire dat Hall fella.......

In reply to casiba

The fact that there are some stupid people in the Region , doesnt mean that all of us have to be stupid .

I have absolutely no doubt that any dedicated , Transparent & Accountable Entity within 2 to 3 years will do a better job than the WORST INCOMPETENT CRICKET BOARD .

The fact of the matter is than WE in the Caribbean have to get serious about everything , that is the main problem with the WICB , as I have often stated on this MB ; CRICKET IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS , AND THAT MEANS THE BUSINESS OF CRICKET MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY .

This fact is lost on the WICB and the Charlatans who keep them
in the governance of Cricket in the Region , by failing to be critical of the manner in which the WICB governs Cricket in the Region .

I still maintain that if the WICB was serious about Cricket in the Region it would have had more Regional Tournaments , Meaningful Camps , Coaches , and ensure that our players get more than one warmup match before the Tour begins in earnest .

The fact that the so called Sports Journalists refuse to be critical of the WICB informs me that they know absolutely nothing about Journalism , Sport or otherwise .
