CWI admit liability against Coach Simm

 
positiveg 2019-03-18 14:03:35 

Simmons, the current Afghanistan coach, has claimed damages of more than US$300,000 with a final sum to be agreed at a court date in Antigua on March 26. With legal costs included, the episode could cost CWI US$400,000 or more.

And deh done brokes.

Wellll dayyyyyyyumm Cameron
you want done de money me boy

ESPNcricinfo also understands that Cameron recently asked the board to increase his monthly expenses from US$2,000 to US$10,000 a month. The board eventually agreed a rise to US$6,000 but discontent at the cost of his presidential office, travel and staff - now understood to cost somewhere approaching US$500,000 a year - is rising. His entertainment costs alone are understood to be over US$100,000.

They lucky HE only asked for that Paltry sum of money . Rest assured the
next time it is going to be a Hell of a Lot more .

The International Cricket Conspirators
aka the ICC love to pay their People very well .

Exactly.

Same way IOC and FIFA operate

Why does one get paid? The answer is so that one can pay for one’s expenses

If everything you do is “expensed”, is there need for “pay”?

Us$500k per year in “expenses”

US$10k per month in “entertainment expenses”

But People have nuff chat for cricketers

The silence of some of the prominent CWI/WICB supporters is deafening... but for all we know they might come and defend a 500K per year expense and ~1M in contracts for improper firing of the coaches...

POINT 2019-03-18 17:52:51 

I hope that People in this Forum Now
understand what I have been stating here since 2003 .

I do not claim to be Nostradamus , but
when I see Corruption , I know it . This is precisely why when I joined this Forum I stated and continue to
state that:

ALL PERSONS IN THE WICBC & THE

REGIONAL CRICKET BOARDS MUST BE

REMOVED IF THE GOAL IS TO MAKE

PROGRESS IN WEST INDIES CRICKET AND

THE INTERNATIONAL CRICKET ARENA .

The Sad Stark Truth is that the People in the WICBC & the Regional
Cricket Boards for many years have
violated every semblance of Decency ,Honesty and Integrity .

These 21st Century Pirates are only
interested in having the Status Quo
remain the same . Nothing else matters to these 21st Century Pirates .

Meanwhile some of the Regional Governments are fully prepared to
Support the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

These Governments will Forever live
in infamy , when the History of this
Era as pertaining to Cricket is written .

BTW as WE have seen many so called
Sports Journalists in the Region are
also guilty of Aiding & Abetting those in the WICB , AKA The Worst
International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth .

IT IS TIME THAT GOVERNMENTS WITH

SOME INTEGRITY DECIDE TO BE PUBLICLY

CRITICAL OF THESE MODERN DAY

PIRATES.

 
POINT 2019-03-18 18:06:58 

For many years those in the WICBC
relishes skating on thin Ice , It is
time that this Organization be made
Publicly to explain its Stewardship .

It does use some Public Facilities, therefore it needs to give a Public
Accounting of its Stewardship of West
Indies Cricket . Hiding behind the
FIG LEAF of being a Private Entity in this day and age just aint good enough .

SUNSHINE IT IS SAID IS THE BEST

DISINFECTION THEREFORE IT IS HIGH

TIME THAT THE MEMBERS OF WICBC COME

OUT FROM THE DARKNESS .

(i) Unless I can scrutinize the audit just saying audits are done is meaningless to me.

(ii) Notice how the Compensation Committee was introduced in the press release...nothing about who called for the setting up of the committee and their remit and who was complaining about the low level of compensation...nada.

(iii) The writer wants us to believe a President cannot influence a budget.

(iv) The Vix anomoly in the press release is noted.

(v) How does the office expense compare with other Presidents. The figure on its own is meaningless. I know rental of JH office cost USD2000 monthly and he had one Executive Assistant. This comes no where close to the current budgeted sum of USD 258,000.00

(vi) I want to know about the use of a credit card...has expenditure been capped and if so for what reason?

(vii) The release makes no mention of whether board members were misled into believing that there would be no adverse repercussions arising out of Phil Simmons' firing.

Expenditure to date is just what it is in the ledger account. What about outstanding payables beacuse you run out of money or negotiating a loan?

...............

Nothing will change in the old boys club. Allyuh will continue to sit around the hotel's bar to talk bullshit and drink your grog after Sunday's AGM. Heaven help us all. Continue watching and protecting your fellow directors backs.

What did he spend the above on?

All accounts of Cricket West Indies are audited externally by international auditing firm KPMG.


We have seen where such Audits can be wrong, I would be interested to see the procedures used.
Did KPGM do an actual audit or were numbers submitted to them
as being factual by CWI accounting department?

There are many types of audit including financial audit, operational audit, statutory audit, compliance audit and so on.



Those audit reports included Unqualified Audit Report (Clean Audit Report), Qualified Audit Report, Disclaimer Audit Report, and Adverse Audit Report.

Now which type of Audit Report was done by KPGM?
Was it Financial, Operational or Compliance?

To get a clear picture one needs to talk to the Auditors.

In reply to Chrissy

I find it very interesting that WE are
now being privy to some of the Worst
International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth finances .

It now seems Crystal clear , at least to me , why Cameron refused to
go to India and salvage the Tour that was in Progress . IT WAS NOT HIS PERSONAL MONEY THAT WAS INVOLVED , AND ALSO APPARENTLY NOT THE WICBC.

The Lavishness of those in the WICBC makes a very interesting Reading , Meanwhile in the International Cricket Arena We are at or near the
Bottom .

This freaking tangibly fact demonstrates that while The Members of the WICBC , are wined and Dined in Posh & Famous Places & Cities ;

NOT ONE BLASTED THING IS DONE TO

MAKE OUR PLAYERS COMPETITIVE IN THE

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET ARENA .

While the Members of the WICBC enjoy
living High on the Hog . Sustained
and supported by the various FAUX
Newspapers in the Region , their Allies who relish placing ALL the
blame on our Players .

Then there are some Governments in the Region who worship the WICBC .
These Governments do not give one Damn about the Stewardship of the
WICBC .

Their only concern is that they get
one or two International Matches in their Countries . They really do not give a Damn that since its Formation
the WICBC has bluntly refused to change its 90+ years old Structure .

Then there are the SYCOPHANTS of the
WICBC in the Media . These Jokers believe that the WICBC is the Best
Cricket Board in the World , ALL the
Ills regarding Cricket are due to Our Players not the Board .

Let me again state the freaking fact
that IF WE want progress in West Indies Cricket . There must be a totally New Structure ; and WE Simply cannot have in this New Structure those currently in the WICBC .

WE SIMPLY CANNOT HAVE A NEW

STRUCTURE WITH THE CURRENT PEOPLE IN

THE WICBC AT THE HELM . THEY

OBVIOUSLY WILL SABOTAGE THE NEW

STRUCTURE , SO THAT THEY CAN AGAIN

RESORT TO THEIR WICKED WAYS .

CWI turns over somewhere around US$40-45million per annum and has, at times over the last year or two, been obliged to delay payments to staff due to cash-flow issues. Gibson, another West Indies coach discarded before the end of his contract, previously settled his case against CWI for a sum understood to be over US$300,000.


How can the above occur that I highlighted?

A budget is prepared, one sees the high and low points of such. A line of Credit arranged at the Local Bank to fill in the low points?

This is how a properly run Entity operates.

Now, they want to become a public Entity?

How can they administer the 128 million that the ICC will give them?

Cameron based on dismissals is costing CWI over a million US

Why is Cameron in such position still, where is the Board to send him packing?

Cameron knows the weakness of certain Boards and
their members, he is skilled at catering to such.

He will convince them again by promising more than he delivered before, they, as usual, will collapse and vote him in again.

Such is the mentality of this Board. They are just complying to what promises are awaiting ahead.
Improving Cricket is not the objective of this group,
survival as Board members is?

My reaction to a lot of the current situation that we're in is based in part on a serious concern that the present administration's course ignores reality.

these expensive Jokers ; and set about
getting all Cricket Boards in the Region populated with Persons with
Integrity , and are genuinely interested in the improvement of West
Indies Cricket .

It would be good also if WE have
Sports Writers who are honest and not Lackeys of the WICBC . The current crop WE now have in the Region , are the Foot Soldiers of
the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth , aka the
WICBC .

WE NEED TO PUT AN END TO THIS UNHOLY
