STORY OF THE DAY
The Trinidad Guardian delivers to us an editorial by Jack Warner that tells us nothing, but returns to his promise from last spring that he will SOON unleash a TSUNAMI of dirt against the FIFA and CONCACAF officials who turned against him. He promises to show us how clean he has always been and how corrupt everyone else is.
-So when will the soccer world feel Slappy Jack's wrath? "...definitely not before Mr Bin Hammam’s case before the Court of Arbitration Sport (CAS) is resolved."
T&T Newsday demands (again) that Warner resign his high ranking position within their countries government.
The Trinidad Express calls Warner an "Unlimited Liability."
