Is Speid The Best Man For The Job?

The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) will convene a crucial board meeting today to determine whether Rudolph Speid will be appointed as assistant to Head Coach Steve McClaren or serve in an advisory capacity with the Jamaica senior men’s team.

Speid, who is currently the sporting director of reigning Jamaica Premier League champions Cavalier FC, also serves as chairman of the JFF technical committee.

I smell a conflict of interest!

Rudolph Speid is now Technical Advisor, still heads the JFF Technical Committee, owns Cavaliers FC, AND will be in the Reggae Boyz dressing room advising McClaren. How is this not a blatant conflict of interest? Where was the open recruitment? What exactly has Speid achieved at the senior international level to earn this influence? This looks less like building a World Cup team and more like tightening control over the program. We need transparency, not backdoor appointments. Fans deserve answers, not recycled power plays.

He is the best man for those who are either against UK born Jamaicans in the team or a quota on them. They will have their wish with Speid in control. The JFF sees this Caribbean group as an easy group to qualify from. They underestimate Curacao and their Dutch heritage laden team and Trinidad at their peril.
