VP: CFU will survive

CARIBBEAN?Football Union vice-president Colin Klass says the regional governing body for the sport is resilient and will survive the recent turmoil springing from the cash-for-votes scandal.
He also said the contribution of former football strongman Jack Warner should not be diminished in any way, as the former CFU president had put football development in the Caribbean on a sound footing.
“The resignation of  Austin “Jack” Warner may give the perception that a chasm of uncertainty exists in the CFU. We know better!
“We know that as a resilient people we will ensure that the CFU soars once again like the proverbial phoenix from these ashes,” Klass said.
“Over the past month the Caribbean region, its sons and daughters have not only come under attack but we have all been subjected to character assassination and division within the Union.
“Many have been ostracized for believing in a brother of the Caribbean soil and standing firm on the belief that as a region we are one.
“If ever there was time for unity and collective responsibility – it is now. If not now then when; if not us then who?”
He continued: “The chaos over the last month has resulted in tremendous and seemingly irreparable damage; no one has won. The reputation of our game has suffered; the region has suffered.” (CMC)
