Crenston Boxhill Quotations

Many of the players have been playing for their premier league clubs and have been in camp almost on a weekly basis since January.

Money is very important. It is almost impossible to live without it and not everything in life can be bought and today's result was testimony to that.

Now that this nonsense is over I hope we will be given a chance to take care of the nation's football without any further hindrance.

I am thankful for the support of those delegates who stood with the administration today because I am sure that they know that we mean football well. It is my hope that we will now unite in the best interest of nation's football.

I have been in touch with the promoters up to a few minutes ago (last Tuesday)) and they have told me that they are looking at a venue about an hour outside of London.

I think it is now time for some healing to take place and for all of us to work towards the development of football which I believe is the interest of everybody. Some people will have differences and as such take different roads to achieve their ends but at the same time it is the sport that should benefit.

We sent the relevant documents as they relate to bank information and all that of the vendor to the FIFA. And as you know, FIFA doesn't pay the federation this money and then expect the federation to pay whoever, so we have sent off the relevant information to FIFA for the vendor to get paid.

We were a little bit surprised at the context of the letter, where it speaks to FIFA not being aware of what was happening, and I am a little bit disappointed because the FIFA development officer came here sometime in September and visited the site and was quite pleased to the extent that at a press conference the morning before he departed, he explained to the nation via the media that he was quite pleased that everything was on target.

...We will send two of our youth coaches to Madrid in September when their season starts in September and at the back end of the season this May.

Some people have got based on the request that we have made. Some people have benefited from the allotment and some have not and that was because (the supply) came short.

The monies that we got from FIFA had to do with specifically with the damage that was done by the hurricane and that was rectified. The interior of the building was completely painted, but I agree that outside needs some work and we are working on it as we speak. We have spoken to Sherwin Williams who is willing to donate the paints, and in a short period the outside will be taken care of.

I certainly will not belittle this. Some may see it as a mere symbolic upgrade, with little to do with sport.

I could go as far as say (Burrell) is using his influence not to assist the federation so far.

The game is on but we just need to work out these details.
