It said Gordon wrote to the WICB's Executive Committee on April 17, 2007, advising that he intended to resign but was asked to reconsider his decision.

what a rasshole tumultuous past few days for poor old HypoChrissy.

Chrissy, tekking seriously licks and PC is no where to be found to defend her honour.

In reply to Narper

:lol:

In reply to JahJah

PC said that there is no such thing as an open ended commitment. She failed to live up to certain deliverables so he will focus his energy on salvaging what's left of Zimma.

Is this idiot for real??
He writes a letter stating he intends to resign and then 6 days later says he has not resigned but was asked to reconsider and he might do just that next Sunday.This is beyond comical and is unseemly and leaves us as West Indians looking like fools.

This guy is an EGOMANIAC.He resigned but because the people can't do without him,they begged him to stay on and in truly valiant mode he is going to stay on and help us poor souls towards the promised land.
Excuse me while I PUKE!!!!!

PHEW

So it's not correct that he has resigned but that he intends to resign? And the board wants him to reconsider intending to resign or not resigning?

Ent Twissy seh de man did an excellent job

HE BALANCED DE BOOK !!!!!

In reply to insight
No, it is not correct that he has not resign, the way I see it, he has resigned his intended resignation... :lol:

In reply to Narper

Why the fcuk you don't? This morning I heard you did and I started celebrating...now you are telling me you haven't how the hell you think I feel? Resign man and make me feel good

I'll advise yall to get off Chrissy's back.
The simple thing is that the Board did not accept Gordon's pre resignation letter

what bullshit!

as a matter of fact.... if y'all read the script on the WICB site, that looks like a resignation letter to me.

In reply to Dukes
The man do an Eric Williams. You tink dem Trickidadians easy?

In reply to don

People see only what they want to see. BK gone, KG going unless some major changes that he wants occur. KG's position is an either/or. He eh looking to work within the gray area.

In reply to Larr Pullo I do have a strange feeling that some malicious person started these rumours to create havoc among people. :lol:

In reply to anandgb

Yeah Lara! 8)

In reply to dcbreds

The first source to announce dis was RJR, then TVJ - ask Crossy!!

In reply to dcbreds If you sey so. Make sure you na squeal if I quote you, ok? :lol:

In reply to dcbreds Now I am wondering if we will see another "I did not resign" headline. :lol:

In reply to anandgb

The current headline should say "I have not resigned - YET!!"

In reply to anandgb

Oh yeah, Lara will be President. 8)

In reply to Chrissy

Let's not forget who the sources are likely to be. 8) This was not rumour.

In reply to dcbreds Lara sey he tekking a nice relaxing vacation fust. Na try drag de man back so quick. I thought you were a fan. :lol:

In reply to anandgb

Whah yuh tink being a Board member of WICB means? Dey doh do nutten, so it will work well with Lara's rest period. :lol:

In reply to dcbreds Oh yes, I clearly was not thinking. Otherwise we would not be in the mess we are in.

In reply to anandgb

Anand, KG eh really want tuh be there. There are many things that he cannot accept. And it is not likely that they are gonna make those changes.

Remember how it was leaked out that KG appointed Lara without the consent of the full Board. And then certain members were expressing displeasure while being in the chain of command. These things are not normal for someone is accustomed to people towing the line while they are in the corporation.

Anyway, I personally hope he stays and that the changes are made to strengthen the position of President. But you cannot run an organization efficiently or effectively if there is always constant intervention by the other Board members.

In reply to dcbreds You really believe that KG did not want to be president?

Actually its a rather statesman like letter. He is saying that he takes full responsibility for the mistakes that the WICB made and would therefore resign, but that the Board asked him back. The letter seems to signal that he wants changes made and if they are not made come April 27, that he WILL resign.

In reply to carib

What do you think those changes are? One of them is strengthening the President's authority - with appropriate accountability.

In reply to Chrissy

The first source to announce dis was RJR, then TVJ - ask Crossy!!


why didn't you credit them when you posted?

In reply to Chrissy

Lots of dot and ts are not in here, who asked Gordon to stay on and for what?

They figured it will 'look bad' to resign during the WC, so no release, but it is out now and we look worse....like we '' ''

Many of us were heavily critical when this guy was paraded in as WICB President, then he looted Branker and became President of the WC2007, why his hurry to go and why is this invisible group stopping him?

If you resign, you will have to answer..

In reply to dcbreds Its Hard to say.
I would agree with a strenghtened, more accountable President. Let him make the decisions. He either gets the glory or the boot, depending on how the decisions pan out.
The retainer contracts all need to be amended so as to REQUIRE that players ewngage in off serries conditioning and training, or face termination of the contracts.Im pretty sure that the selectors willl be insisting on that.
Maybe some kind of annual financial statement? They are talking a lot about transparency.

In reply to carib

Yeah but nothing in their release talks about transparency. All it spoke about is representatives supporting the decisions of WICB.

WRT fitness, they cannot force them to participate in off-series training. However, what they can do is have a mandatory fitness test before they can be selected in any squad. That will force them to seek out appropriate fitness regimen.

And KG will not stay unless he has more power as Board President, and that he does not get 100% support for the decisions he makes with this power.

KG says he is in the process of deciding whether he will be in the running for President again. 8)

In reply to dcbreds

This chap bareface bad :lol: :lol:

In reply to thefan

Nah, he trying to say that he eh want to be President until there are real changes and accountability.

In reply to carib That is absolute BS. If he meant what he said then he would demand teh resignation of all the directors and resign himself.

Threatening to resign is simply a freaking temper tantrum.

If he feels the accountability shoul dcome from the top, then teh right thing to do is unilateral resignation. No ifs, ands or butts about it.

In reply to dcbreds So he afraid to put the changes into effect? He wants someone to do the durty work?

The guy is abviously media savvy and he knows how to use words. He was in there for long enough to effect changes from within.

I do not buy this crap.

In reply to anandgb

He is not satisfied with the current structure. He wants to have control similar to that of an Executive Chairman.

In reply to dcbreds

same thingburnham said :lol: :lol:

In reply to thefan

LOL true. :lol: :lol:

It look like all Trinis have the same character flaw.

KG is a FACTING MORONIC DICTATOR.Allyuh get what yuh deserve.
He is as arrogant as they come and rather reminds me of Ross Perot.It is amazing that he said that he is not going to campaign for the Presidency but if he is asked to be President he would serve.As a result a man who had absolutely no interest or knowledge of WI cricket became President.I said at the time that a very reliable source in T&T had told me that KG had never been seen at the Queen's Park Oval for a test match at least from 1976 to that time.He was not involved in any administrative way in cricket but was a good friend of Alloy Lequay.
KG has taken the secret WICB and made it worse than a masonic lodge.He has consistently negotiated in bad faith with the WIPA.He has usurped the authority of the Directors in rejecting the selectors choice for captain and single-handedly anointed Lara last year.In addition Mikey Holding has chronicled his aversion to the truth and now this manoeuvre which while Burnhamesque/Machiavelian is not what we need at this time.The sooner KG,Jackie H and Chetty get the hell out the better.We need people like Jimmy Adams,Eldine Baptiste,Roger Harper and Michael Hall intimately involved in WI cricket.People with integrity,vision,youth and enthusiasm.

In reply to anandgb

All presidents bend the truth....remember WMD explanation for war in Iraq?

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy Yes, while that may be true, some are more flexible than others, no?

In reply to carib

Only two ways this can be done before the contract expires.
1: WIPA will have to agree to this amendment.

2: The WICB will have to dissolve itself and start from fresh, all new Directors ( if this is the road they intend to go, then that will also be the end of WIPA)

What do you think WIPA will do in such a scenario?
